Me, my sister, her b-f, my nephew and our friend Kathy were at this Saturday Night game along with 52,000+ fans and now, I have seen all 5 AL East teams face the Mets at Shea. The highlight had to be the return of ex-Met Kris Benson. (He mainly got booed. Lets face it, it wasn't like when Seaver returned to Shea in 1977.) And he hits a home run to boot off of Pedro and, yes Anna was there but she had left her seat to go smoke a cigarette and didn't see her hubby's 1st MLB home run.

My mother died of lung cancer several years ago and as a person who detests smoking, Anna is NOT setting a fine example at all. When I read this in the Sunday New York Daily News, I almost blew a gasket. Anna should be forced to see those tv p.s.a.'s where the man is talking with his voice box. Now that would scare Anna into giving up that disgusting habit PDQ.

By the way, we were very wise to stay at Shea a little longer after the game because my nephew wanted to get a Mets cap and with parking spaces becoming a premium, the 7 train and the LIRR is the way to go.

I attended this game with my sister back in 2006. Kris Benson homered off Pedro wtf lol. Rhis game made me sad; at the end of the game, Natalie Imbruglia's song "Torn" played on the PA system. How depressing. lol

Please note:
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!
