This was the best game I've ever been at. The game was SO intense, not only because of the playoff implications, but in extras, no-one would get on base until the Flores walk-off home run. There were several chants with his name. It was a thriller.

I think it was this game that turned the Mets season around.

I remember that it was an uncomfortably hot and humid night. I was sprawled across my seat at Citi Field, wondering how much longer the game would last. Many fans had left because it was late. The remaining crowd was rather subdued, like I was. But at the crack of the ball coming off Wilmer Flores’ bat leading off the bottom of the 12th, the crowd instantaneously came to life. Everyone sprang to their feet in anticipation and when the ball cleared the fence, the celebration was on! It was an exhilarating moment in a memorable season.

Raymond, you're right about this game being the one that turned the Mets' season around. It was the start of a series sweep over the Nationals that tied them with the Washington team for first place in the National League East. The Mets would take over the lead for good in Miami one night later.

The Mets' victory came under some unique circumstances. It was declared "Wilmer Flores Night" at Citi Field just two days after the supposed trade of Flores to Milwaukee that never happened. The sight of Wilmer in tears over the trade rumors was fresh in everyone's mind and a special tribute was being paid to the man who didn't want to leave New York. In storybook fashion, Wilmer drove in both Mets runs with a single and a walk-off homer that ignited the team on its run to the title.

The home run in the twelfth inning was the first of four walk-offs that Flores would have in a Mets uniform. Four other players in team history had accomplished this feat prior to Wilmer. Coincidentally, this first one came on the same calendar date as Chris Jones' fourth walk-off homer as a Met in 1996.

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!
