The New York Mets Thread

Actually, according to Baseball Prospectus, the biggest collapse in baseball history was the 1995 Angels blowing a 12 game lead to the Mariners. At one point the Angels had a 99.98% chance of making the playoffs.

with how many to play?

thanks

There were 38 games left to play. The Angels went 12-26 in the last month and a half. Even 13-25 would have been "good enough" to win the division.

Wow, one of the many reasons I love Baseball is because of stuff like that, NOTHING is ever in the bag. Thanks for the info.

Not only were the Angels 12.5 up on the M's, they were also 12 up on the Yankees for the Wild Card, and they blew that too.

Going to the 9th at Shea, probably for the last time this season.

Does anybody know of any website where one can view the division races in graphical format (i.e., a line graph, with wins as the y-coordinate)? It'd be interesting to see what an epic collapse looks like.

It'd be interesting to see the Yankees give chase to the Red Sox this season, too, even though the Yanks didn't quite pull it out.

The "greatest, most exciting player in the history of professional baseball everywhere" is leading it off for the Mets.

scratch that, he's batting second.

Ricky is busy playing cards in the clubhouse.

I can't believe the Mets season has come to this.

That's what happens when you get too comfortable.

It would be really cool if Reyas could ground into a DP with no one on to end the game.

Reyes decides not to pop out this time. Two out.

[NyQuil]

Mets down to their final out.

My oh my. I still can't believe Jimmy was right. I don't think I'll ever believe it.

That was the "most exciting" ground out I've ever seen.
