This is weird (from Yahoo Sports) - some of you don't like Yahoo links: The Mets have lost their 34th game of the season a remarkable 16 years in a row in what has become one of the strangest, and completely inconsequential, hexes in sports history. It started in 2010, when the Mets fell to the Washington Nationals, 6-4. Every year since, the Mets have dropped that game. The Cardinals were the 13th different team the Mets have faced during this span, so it's not like it's tied to any specific opponent. That makes the streak only weirder. Rats! Now that's something we'll have to look out for next year. Later
