METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE MAY 11, 2008 GAME:

The Big H
May 12, 2008
This game featured a Mets win with the Reds batting out of order. Although no harm was done Willie Randolph played it wrong, unlike Wes Westrum, who on June 27, 1967 played it correctly. On that day the manager in 1967 Westrum waited until the miscreant batting out of turn got a hit, and it was taken away from him. In the Randolph botch, Willie ran out to the umpire as soon as the first guy batted out of turn, instead of waiting for the second guy to complete his turn at bat. If he had gotten a hit it would have been taken away. Instead what happened here was the guy who batted out of turn got to hit again, since he was batting one turn early and got a single on his second try in the same inning. No damage to for Met fans, but this one is unhappy that the manager doesn't know the rules.

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!
