METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE APRIL 28, 1993 GAME:

Frank Tanana was having a great day until the eighth inning of this game. From the first to the seventh, he was pitching a shutout and had singled to drive home the Mets only two runs. This was both the first hit and first RBIs ever for the 39-year-old Tanana, who had spent the previous twenty years in the DH-plagued American League. Then, a pair of singles to start the eighth got Frank lifted and the Giants eventually won it in the ninth. Such was life for the Mets in '93, their worst season ever!

This was the first of 10 walkoff losses the Mets suffered in 1993. They intentionally walked a slumping Will Clark (although he did have 2 hits in this game) to pitch to Williams with 2 out in the 9th, but with Franco hurt and no other trustworthy lefties on the team, Torborg really didn’t have any better options.

When they walked Clark, Rusty Staub talked about how baseball could skip the 4 pitches and just let the batter go to first if they were looking for ways to speed up the game. He was quite ahead of his time, as MLB finally adopted his idea in 2017.

The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:

Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and we would let it remain.

We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments, and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.

Thank you!
