Earlier today, I was watching an MLB Network special on the infamous John Roseboro-Juan Marichal brawl at Candlestick and they played a radio clip of Bob Murphy breaking the news on the brawl; this was pre-ESPN and pre-24 hour sports radio.

The Mets defeated the Cardinals for a doubleheader sweep on a Sunday afternoon at Shea Stadium. Tug McGraw hurled a complete game (yes, he was once a starting pitcher) for his first major league win. Roy McMillan hit a triple in the bottom of the fifth inning that scored Ron Hunt and put the Mets ahead to stay. In the sixth, Joe Christopher doubled to drive home Ron Swoboda. McGraw then faced the minimum nine batters in shutting down the Redbirds from the seventh to the ninth.

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!
