What a bullshit hit

[HahnSolo]

Oh, fuck.

They make it look easy to score when they get a baserunner.

[Guest attgig]

piss me off

[nymr83]

the Cubs are winning. the Mets are collapsing. A loss would mean a wild card tie with 4 to play

[Guest mario25]

crap hit...off the end of the bat

Why couldn't we get a bullspit hit last inning? Wright, Church, Castro. Crap.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Can't blame the pen for this crap.

[HahnSolo]

And the Philllies dropped two in a row to the Braves. It was all right there for them.
Now who knows with Pedro tomorrow.

[Guest holychicken]

The number of times the Mets have ripped my heart out recently is beyond incredible.

[Zvon]

GAH

[nymr83]

HR Ramriez, D-O-N-E.

[HahnSolo]

And there is the icing on the cake.

Why do I do this to myself

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

um, war

[Guest themetfairy]

Craptacular

[Elster88]

Ok Nymr get some sleep.

[bmfc1]

It was all there--a g.d., motherf'in flyball by Wright or Church, and we're dancing off to sleep, dreaming of being tied for first by this time tomorrow. The Cubs said "here, take it" and they couldn't. Wright froze and everybody else did NOTHING. We may be seeing this game in our minds all winter.

2008 Mets slogam A committment to excrement

[Guest AG/DC]

It's like Rickey Schroeder is pitching against us.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

We had a leadoff triple......

I just can't get over that.

[Guest mario25]

David Wright's shitty Ab in the 9th was a killer

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Knot - "7th inning was the line-out DP inning actually, but I get your point."

Your're correct. It was the 6th inning that Church, Evans, and AReyes all struck out swinging while Beltran was busy stealing second and third and hoping someone would hit the ball.

Damn, this is very painful to watch. So many great opportunities they have just let slip away tonight.

Mario25 - "crap hit...off the end of the bat"

Good job of hitting, just putting a good pitch in play with 2 strikes. If only the Mets had done that just once in their numerous opportunities, rather than flailing away (often at pitches out of the strike zone), we would all be celebrating a great night by now.

[Guest mario25]

Scary players coming off the bench too.chavez, Evans and Castillo..opposing managers have to laugh...dont forget Marlon Anderson too

[Guest themetfairy]

Loosers....

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Too many squandered scoring opportunities tonight.

It's a war from here on out for the Wildcard. I believe they pretty much sealed their fate tonight regarding the divisional crown.

[Guest mario25]

Leadoff Triple....How dont we score there I am sick to my stomach

[Guest mario25]

I feel for myself and all of the diehard Mets fans on this site that go through this BS.......It can never be easy. Even in 86 we had to win on a freakin fluke and the Mets were dominant that year. I know how you guys feel

[Zvon]

[Gwreck]

Wow.

I counted 3 moments of elated celebration, 3 stomach punches, and two kicks to the groin. I think.

I was pleased to see the stadium mostly filled but the crowd was poor overall, especially when the Mets needed them most (and I don't just mean the bottom of the 10th).

Both the most exciting game and biggest surprise loss since '06.

[Guest KC]

I've been trying not to think about the last four innings of this game. Of
course someone had to just bring it up at my doorway ... freakin' Yanks
fan, of course. I asked her if she was jumpin' on the Cubbie band wagon
this year's playoffs and she said ya gotta. 100 years bbbyyy.

I've never witnessed anything like that in any sports playoff type game.
It's just mind boggling I can't even think of anything to say.
