METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 7, 1997 GAME:

This was the first Mets game I had ever attended; at the age of nine, it was the day I officially became a Mets fan and joined the beautiful orange and blue tradition. Not that I had the slightest clue who any of the players were, but that didn't matter much at the time.

A rare noon start at Shea, this game was the last for Mark Clark and Lance Johnson, both of whom were significant contributors at the time.

Clark went the distance in this game, in an easy 12-4 win on a gorgeous, sunny day. Within 24 hours, Clark and Johnson would be traded to the Cubs for Brain McRae, Turk Wendell and Mel Rojas. A trade that was absolutely killed at the time on talk radio and in the newspapers. As it turns out, the Mets knew what they were doing (minus Rojas).

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!
