Great win for the Mets! I was happy to see this team bounce back after a tough loss. Mets showed tremendous heart and desire as this was a huge game that the Mets needed to win. Here is to a strong weekend performance against a good Marlins team. I am thinking playoffs!

Great game and shades of the 86 World Series (game 6)! Down two runs to end up winning it and Church came around to score. (Church was batting 6th, as did Knight.) Mark my words, the Mets will win the World Series this year. How many other teams can win 89 games with their bullpen as it is? (There's a special magic that won't be realized until later...)

This was my final game at Shea. It came full circle from my first game in 1978 against the Giants to my last in 2008. I tried to remember all the places I sat in those 30 years. I had my folks with me also celebrating 45 years...of marriage. I thank God the rain held up. My seats were Mezzanine Reserved Section 21 Row J. I noticed the seats had the MLB certificate of authenticity sticker on them. Some idiot signed their name on the seat with black sharpie. Micah Hoffpauir? Cubs 1B. WHO? Hits his 1st two major league HR's. I was hoping Schoeneweis would plunk him his 4th time up. I thank God again for the victory. Beltran's rope off Hoffpauir's glove for a victory. It was bittersweet. An older gentleman and his wife who sat behind me left early. As I shook his hand, I told him, he's gonna miss another miracle. As he reached the tunnel, he looked around and gave Shea a goodbye wave.

We're looking for your comments about this specific game. We've had people use this space to share their thoughts on how the current season is going, or on ways that the Mets can improve the team. Such comments, unless in the context of this particular game, will be considered off-topic and will be removed.

Example One
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!
