We need more games like this. On a night when the Mets broke the team record for home runs in a single game, it seemed like everyone could have hit a home run. Even Zambrano got in on the action to some extent, hitting a two-run triple.

Hey, that's not bad! You sort of have the feeling, at least early on this season, that the Mets are really capable of putting together some major offensive shows like this. It is in stark contrast to the teams of the last few seasons that have pecked and clawed for runs all season long.

It is far too early to tell, but maybe this is a harbinger of things to come. Think about the two games in which the Mets hit 6 HRs. April, 1988, Opening day for a team that won 100 games and made the playoffs, June, 1999 for a Mets team that would rise the Mojo and win 97 en route to another playoff berth.

April 19, 2005--The beginning of a memorable season?

In order: Jose Reyes, 1st inning. Victor Diaz, 2nd inning, 1 on Mike Piazza, 3rd inning, Vintage blast Doug Mientkiewicz, 3rd inning, 1 on Victor Diaz, 3rd inning, 1 on Jose Reyes, 4th inning David Wright, 6th inning, 3 on

Sure. The Mets hit 7 HRs in this game in a stadium that is about the size of a broom closet, but I'm sure we'll all take it.

Because of the stupid Cablevision vs. Time Warner thing, I can't watch games except on the weekends when they're on WB but that didn't stop me from listening to this one on the radio. As I heard Victor Diaz and Jose Reyes blast off with two homers, Doug Mientkiewicz, David Wright, Piazza, I thought to myself "Why don't they do this in September when it counts?" But who knows maybe this is the year they certainly pounced all over the Phillies that game.

If you look at the line score for the Mets in the 1st 6 innings it's a funny thing: 1-2-5-1-2-5. Then they don't score the next 3 innings!!! The poor Phillie pitchers need neck therapy after this one because they kept turning their heads after each of the 7 home runs. One of the best games of last season (2005).

When I watched this game I was saying to my brother how good this team was going to be that year and the next three years. That game was awesome because all the home runs and they ran Philly out of the ballpark. LETS GO METS!!!!

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!
