METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 24, 2014 GAME:

The Mets turned a triple play in the sixth inning of this game. Eric Campbell fielded a grounder and threw to Daniel Murphy, who then threw to Lucas Duda to double up the hitter, Matt Kemp. For some reason, Yasiel Puig tried to score from second and was out on Duda's throw to Travis d'Arnaud to complete the tri-killing. A headline the next day described Puig's running decision as "aggressive", but it should have said "stupid".

The TP happened on Bartolo Colon's last pitch before coming out of the game. Colon's name was mentioned in trade rumors at the time, which means his tenure as a Met could have ended with a special touch. It didn't turn out to be the case, though.

As for the offense, the Mets hit four homers. Duda slugged twice while d'Arnaud and Ruben Tejada also went deep.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Mets turned a triple play made possible by Yasiel Puig's attempt to score from second base on an infield ground ball. This was something that Mookie Wilson had twice pulled off successfully within four days to give the Mets a pair of victories back in 1983. Still, Keith Hernandez stated on television that no player should ever try to do this no matter how fast a runner he may be. It's hard to figure out what Puig was thinking at that moment, but he made it very clear that he was not Mookie Wilson.

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.
