METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE MAY 19, 1993 GAME:

One of the forgotten, weirder games in team history. Before the game, it basically came out unofficially that the Mets would fire Jeff Torborg. All through the game, the broadcast would make references to Torborg potentially losing his job after the game, and then during the game, the Mets announced that they would have a press conference once the contest was complete....which made it clear as day that Torborg was gone. So we had a manager in the dugout who was basically fired, but still managing. Naturally, the Mets would pick this night to have possibly their most unlikely win of the season, scoring 3 in the 9th to tie and then Bonilla hit the game winning homer in the 10th. Once the game was over, the cameras even caught the umpires shaking Torborg's hands as he walked off the field, seemingly everyone knew he was fired. Truly a weird night at Shea.

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!
