METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE MAY 7, 2006 GAME:

Joe Figliola

It's one thing to lose a game fair and square. It's another when you have an umpire that appeared to be dictating the outcome of the game.

Angel (aka "Devil") Hernandez has, for years, been a contstant thorn in the Mets' side. To date, I have never seen more arguments and more controversy whenever this arrogant jabroni is involved in an Amazin's contest. But when you read in the newspapers that he's telling one pitcher (Jose Lima) that his strike zone will be smaller than the more established, prestige hurler (John Smoltz), that action reeks of blatent biasness.

I also don't want to write a sollioquy on the Paul LoDuca play at the plate in the second inning. Clearly, the runner was tagged out before he reached the plate. I'm surprised LoDuca didn't smack "Devil" in the jawbone over that play.

Now I understand why Bears' footballer Steve McMichael knocked Hernandez's play-calling over the p.a. system at Wrigley Field several seasons ago. I think the Mets should be extra mindful of "Devil's" play-calling whenever his crew is in town.

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.
