    Good job by the Mets at the deadline obtaining a designated hitter that never swings the fucking bat

    Think he's hurt which led to the #1 prospect in baseball being called up and getting on base zero times.

    Getting swept this weekend is an all time choke. But they really didn’t choke the lead away near as much as the Braves just took it from them.

    Since what June, the braves have had the best record in baseball? Then dodgers, Astros, and Mets I believe.

    The entire season a choke? No. This series? Yes.

    just by games up, 10.5 is one of the 2 or 3 biggest blown leads in baseball history. it’s a choke and don’t let the liberal media tell you otherwise

    I tnink this is a bit much. It's not like they choked a huge lead in the last 2 weeks. They played well all year, probably going to win 100 games, the Braves just outplayed them by 2-3 games a month for 4 months. That's more a credit to the Braves than saying the Mets choked. I get wanting to shit on the Mets but you're taking away from the Braves by saying the Mets choked. They didn't. The Braves just went on a helluva run for 4 months.

    This was much worse for the Mets imo:


    The 2007 New York Mets managed to pull this off after holding a seven-game lead on September 12.

    Not only did they go 5-12 in their last 17 games but it got worse when the Phillies were able to get in on the last day.

    The worst part is how the Mets lost, with Tom Glavine and Pedro Martinez combining for three of their last six losses in a 1-6 homestand.

    1964 Philadelphia Phillies

    Keeping with teams going on massive losing streaks, the Phillies, up 6.5 games on Sept. 21, 1964 with 12 games to play, somehow lost ten straight, letting the St. Louis Cardinals steal the pennant.

    Now I'm in a rabbit hole

    1993 San Francisco Giants
    In Barry Bonds' first year as a Giant, he had a mustache. That wasn't the only thing that went wrong for the Giants.

    On July 22, they led the Atlanta Braves by ten games, but the Braves were in the midst of a 49-16 stretch that also saw them go 28-9 at one point. Combine that with the Giants stumbling to a 20-18 finish, and the recipe for failure was set.

    The Giants won three in a row, then lost to the Dodgers, while the Braves won, making the Giants one game short. 103 wins, a third MVP from Barry Bonds, an excellent pitching staff led by John Burkett, Bill Swift, and super-closer Rod Beck, and the Giants were unable to capitalize and unfortunately sent home.

    1995 California Angels

    In 1995, one of the worst player lockouts occurred when the 1994 World Series was cancelled. When play finally resumed with wild card teams added to each conference, the California Angels were ready to go and came out strong. By the end of the season they probably wished the player lockout went on longer.

    On August 9, the Angels led both the Texas Rangers and Mariners by 11 games. After a very deep 18-31 slide, they found themselves in a tie with the Seattle Mariners, who went 30-19, causing a near flip-flop in the standings.

    The one-game playoff still gave the Angels a chance, but it felt like they were just going through the motions, losing 9-1 despite having their best pitcher (pictured above) Mark Langston on the mound. Langston pitched strongly into the bottom of the seventh, only down 1-0, but proceeded to allow four runs and hand Lou Piniella's Mariners the division.

    So was this


    2011 Boston Red Sox

    What's coming next will seem improbable, but it happened. The best team in all of Major League Baseball going into September would not even make the playoffs, and then have to fire their manager because of fried chicken and beer.

    The Red Sox went 7-20 in September, saw the Yankees pass them, and went into the last day still having a small chance depending on the Yankees beating the wild card-leading Rays. The games started well as the Yanks went up 7-0 and the Red Sox, despite all their issues, had Jonathan Papelbon to close out the lowly Orioles in the bottom of the ninth.

    And then the Rays came back and won on an Evan Longoria walk-off homer, and after a Robert Andino bloop single, the Red Sox season came crashing down.

    The worst part of the collapse is how it has melted into the next season, with the Red Sox starting slow yet again in 2012 and finally holding a fire-sale: ridding themselves of Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett.

    One of the wildest days in baseball history.

    It also doesn't help the Mets that:

    1. They egregiously tried to buy a division title
    2. They have the biggest collection of try-hard dweebs in baseball.

    This just isn’t true. Mets fans all season have been unbearable thinking they were running away with the division. Hell you have teel on this site, who has been hilariously claiming the Mets are on the verge of dominating the NL East for decades each year for the last like 3.

    Unfortunately for the league it's looking like the racist organization that ignores pleas from minority groups, enables domestic abusers and takes advantage of young underprivileged minority players will be pulling it out. Excited to get healthy for the playoffs now that we won't be playing minor league teams like the Pirates that can't get the ball over the plate and jeopardize team's seasons with every pitch.

    If we're being honest, the pitching Bonds faced was probably closer to Maris than Judge. Today's pitching is just absurd.
