Twitter was merciless towards the New York Mets after a trade for Carlos Gomez fell through.

The New York Mets, by all accounts around Major League Baseball, were set to acquire outfielder Carlos Gomez from the Milwaukee Brewers. Then, as only the Mets could do, the deal fell through and isn’t going to happen before the trade deadline.

Everything about this incident went poorly for the Mets. When the deal was thought to be happening, shortstop Wilmer Flores was part of the deal going to Milwaukee. Even with the deal seemingly on, he was left in the game and began crying on the field after he found out about the trade. Then, of course, the Mets aren’t even getting Gomez now and they made their shortstop cry during a game.

As you might expect with an organization such as the Mets, Twitter was ready to troll hard after the way they handled a trade that they ended up not being even to make.

However humorous that was, some of the best trolls simply poked fun at Mets fandom in general as this was just another instance of haplessness:

It’s safe to say that the Mets have seen better nights in their organization. It’s also safe to say that Twitter has a tendency to shine in moments just like that.
