One of the most exciting games of the year. Mets down three different times and find a way to tie it with 2 out in the 8th. Gary Cohen made me laugh when he said and the Mets have "pushed the rock up the hill." Is Carlos Beltran more relaxed than last year or what? Finally putting up power numbers that are gonna take this team deep into the post-season. Just amazing the last 4 games how the opposition goes ahead and we come right back to either tie or go ahead. Shows great character of this team. Isn't this team reminding you of another team from 20 years ago? Just sit back and enjoy fellow Mets fans, it's gonna be a magical year.

I was so exhausted. All I wanted to do was go to sleep. But I fought it out into the 16th inning, as they announced it was the longest game of the year. Finally, Beltran ended it with a bomb. Mets win again

Mets come back multiple times this game, with a lovely Chris Woodward clutch double and a Jose Reyes home run to tie the game at 8.

I was 15 and had a geometry exam the next day so my brother, father, and myself left around the 11th inning. We heard Beltran's home run on the radio just before we got home while on Route 22.

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.

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!
