Remember this one well...sitting in upper deck near foul pole in right (very high seats) on a hot, sunny day.

Two outs, bases loaded and Tim Teufel whacks two- strike pitch to right-center for game-winning two-run single off Roger McDowell.

I also remember Bobby O didn't have it that day, getting pulled in the fifth.

Jefferies played well that day, with two-run homer and RBI in ninth.

I think this was a Sunday afternoon game if i'm not mistaken. The Mets were the hottest team in baseball and Timmy Teuful won it off our old friend McDowell with a 2 run single. Probably the most exciting win of the 1990 season.

After some lengthy research this morning, mostly involving a picture of the Shea Stadium scoreboard with my name on it, I determined that this game was actually the first one I ever attended.

I barely remember it; I was approaching my fifth birthday, but it sounds like I wound up at a great one.

Hey alleydally, it might have been hot but at least it was sunglasses day at Shea so hopefully you were able to see the action without the sun getting in your eyes!

This game was crazy exciting, with lots of runners on base and double switches and managerial strategy getting involved. Credit the Mets bullpen for throwing 4.1 innings of hitless relief after Ojeda got the hook. Jefferies’ ninth-inning RBI single off McDowell must have felt extra nice for him, as the previous year McDowell got him to ground out to end a game, then talked some trash and ignited a bench-clearing brawl.

Mike Marshall got booed mercilessly during his pinch-hitting appearance. Despite playing awfully, he apparently demanded a trade. He could have gotten himself back into the fans’ good graces when he came up with 2 on and 1 out in the 6th facing the left-handed Dennis Cook, but he struck out swinging and the boos kept on coming. What a bum.

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!
