I would like to congratulate the New York Muts for once again blowing a seemingly insurmountable division lead in September.
Lucky for them, baseball is turning into hockey and any team with a pulse makes the playoffs (including my Phillies, who are horrible and have no business being there either).To recap...
2007: Mets hold 7 1/2 game lead with 17 to play. They blow the lead and the glorious Phillies win the division on the last day.
Tom Glavine, who didn't want to play in Philly as a free agent in '06 ("I don't want to have to be a mentor to a bunch of young guys"), gets destroyed by a Little League lineup of Marlins in game 162 ( 2 IP, 7 runs)2008: Same as above. Crumble to the Phils in the last 2 weeks. Phils win WS.
2022: Slowly, painfully, the Mets blow a double digit lead and give the division to the Braves.
Good Luck, Mets! Thank the baseball god's for your participation trophy.
(BTW, is sports the only place in society where we can bust each other without fear of cancellation?)
You do realize the Mets have been blowing the division lead to the Braves since the Mid 90s? This isn't new territory.
Mets have the 4th best record in baseball and the Braves #3… that’s a collapse?

When you blow a double digit lead in September, it's a collapse.
Sorry, Mets fans.
After the Padres finish them off, y'all can go back to being Yankees fans until the next time the Mets are decent.By some of your reasoning, '07 wasn't a collapse either because the Phils played out of their heads.

There are over 20 other teams in MLB who would love to "collapse" their way to 100 wins and a wild card spot.

If I remember correctly the Mets played like absolute trash at the end of that year. They had 2 bad series against bad teams last month which screwed them and then got swept by the Braves to seal the deal. They won 100 games and the Braves have been the best team in baseball now for months. The fact that it took the Braves until the second to last game to win the division even with the tear they were on proves that it wasn’t a collapse.

Also if you were a Braves fan I would get the trash talk but as a Phillies fan you shouldn’t be talking smack

The Mets have a better record than the Yankees lol
-
A few counter points to your claim that the Mets blew the lead.
- Mets still won 101 (assuming they win today's game as they are up 9-2) games, which is a great season, Second most in their franchise.
- The Braves record since June 1 is 78-33 which is amazing.
- The Mets were 66-44 over that same stretch which is a +22, not bad at all.
-
Thanks for the congrats. Real classy of you.
-
Mets made the playoffs in a division with Atlanta, the team that may be the best in the all of baseball. They have Degrom, Scherzer, Carrasco, and a decent bullpen. Thay have a real shot. CONGRATS ro the Mets

I agree with you, man. They still won 100 games. People really like to talk bad of other teams, but for what?
A real congratulations on a great season. -
If I was a Mets fan I'd say eat [censored]. But you might actually enjoy that as a Philly fan
-
We don’t want to talk about what the Mets did to the Phillies this year at all right?
-
I would actually consider what the Braves just did closer to a collapse. Imagine sweeping the Mets to take the division lead then getting swept by the Marlins to lose it? Barely won that second game but a win is a win but man would I have loved to see all the Braves fans freak out after that one.

That's not how it works. No one can sell you deGrom for anything less than 79603 stubs. There are other people already in line outbidding you, and the card would go to them first.

Where did I say the Mets Collapsed? OP started off his post about blowing the division in 2007...I merely brought up the fact that they've being doing it since the 90's.
