METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JULY 29, 2015 GAME:

This was the infamous game during which it was reported that Wilmer Flores was being traded to the Brewers but he was not pulled from the game for several innings and he was shown on television (coast-to-coast) crying at shortstop. But after the game, it was announced that the trade had fallen through, and two days later Wilmer hits a walk-off homer and becomes an instant Mets hero.

Was really bummed on the 7 train home after this game for two reasons. First, the Mets were in the thick of a pennant race and this was a brutal loss to a struggling team. Second, I was upset about "trade" that was rumored during the game (Wheeler and Flores for Carlos Gomez). Carlos Gomez was not the impact bat the Mets needed and the price was too high for him. Lucas Duda did hit 3 home runs though.
Boy was I ecstatic when I got home, turned on SNY and learned that the trade did not go down. Looking back, it was as if this "no trade" gave the Mets second life for the rest of the season.

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!
