Dearth of walkoffs

[Benjamin Grimm]

Posted on UMDB's Facebook page:

The Mets have played 55 games in 2011, more than a third of the season, and none of the games, win or lose, have ended in a walkoff. The previous record for latest walkoff in a Mets season was 1977, when the Mets waited until their 42nd game, May 28, 1977, to lose a 10-inning game in Philadelphia.

I blame Jeff Wilpon!

Actually, this is a little strange... it means that the visiting team has won every extra inning game that the Mets have played so far this season.

How many extra inning game have they played?

I find it ominous we are making Metly references to 1977.

Five

Seems like Gary's making several per night these days.

5 doesn't even cover how many games we lost, like Friday's, in the 7th or 8th and had a chance to walk off in the 9th and didn't.

Or how many opponenets have failed to beat the Mets in the ninth while the Mets were on the road.

How about 2000 references? Got some of those today.
