METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JULY 31, 1967 GAME:

I remember watching this game with a great deal of anticipation. Bo Belinsky had a lousy record at the time of this start and I fully expected the Mets to light his ass up in this one. The Mets scored two runs in the first inning and I figured they would knock Belinsky out in the next inning or two. Belinsky then mowed down the Mets for eight straight innings, giving up two hits, both to Tommie Davis the only major league hitter the Mets had in the line up that day. This game taught me an important lesson about baseball and how unpredictable games can be. I still remember this particular game more than forty years after the fact because of this valuable lesson I received that July afternoon.

This was Bo Belinsky's 28th and final win of his mediocre career off which he had once become Hollywood famous. He gave up two runs in the top of the first inning before the Astros scored twice to knock out the Mets' Dennis Bennett in the bottom half. Belinsky then recorded outs on nineteen straight batters after a two-out walk to Bud Harrelson in the top of the second. Meanwhile, the Astros got a run in the fourth against Ron Taylor to take the lead for good. Bo got himself a major league win for the last time. For Bennett, it was the last of his eight games as a Met.

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.
