Mets suicide watch

Because you are a stupid dickhead who likes to be wrong.

But you are not wrong (a rare instance) about Willie the comatose manager.

 

Sorry SP...while I was kidding, a little bit, with buckdubs, I think the presence of the wild card makes this the biggest collapse ever. The '64 Phillies had no backup option. The Mets do...and will STILL piss this away.

If the Mets lost a seven-game lead in the final 17 games and still made the playoffs as a wild card, it'd be bad and it'd be embarrassing but they'd still be in the playoffs. But COMPLETELY missing the playoffs after leading their division by seven with 17 to play in 2007? Biggest choke ever. Not even close.

 

No, D-3, New York fans and media, who unlike some of you morons know a little baseball history, know this is not the greatest collapse in baseball history.
Nor is it the greatest collapse in New York baseball history (see 2004 AL playoffs, chocking dog Yankees!)
Hell, some in NY even think the '51 Dodgers was a bigger collapse... up 13 1/2 in mid-Aigist.

 

He had no one else. That's why he went with the two-man rotation.

 

You can argue whether or not it's the greatest collapse but there's one thing that you can't argue about - IT IS THE LATEST!

 

Hate to throw facts at you, but Mauch had Dennis Bennett (12-14, 3.68, in 32 starts) and Art Mahaffey (12-9, 4.52, in 29 starts) at his disposal.

I'm sure he could have thrown out one of those guys instead of Chris Short on two days' rest or Jim Bunning on one. But I guess you're right: "he had no else."

You know, except two 12-game winners.

 

Thanks for admonishing me, moron. I'm referring to the NY fans who didn't live in the good old days, like the real NY fans.

 

Sorry, again, dickhead, but the wild card does not figure into this.
When the Mets were 7 games ahead of the Philies, they were only 3 games better than the Padres. Blowing three games in the last 17 is hardly an epic collapse.

Keep trying, though. Your Mets hating ass might get something right tonight.

And Douche-3, you post says "NYC press and fans don't remember past history." Categorically wrong.

Oh, and what is "past history?" All history, by definition, is past.

 

Buck, were you alive in '64? I don't think so because you wouldn't just quote me statistics. Mauch had no one else. Yeah he had Mahaffey but he was pretty much toast by the stretch run.

 

So were you alive in '64?

 

I know you're pissed over your fraudulent Mets pissing it away, but there's no need to be pissy to the rest of us.

Leading a race, any race, by seven games with 17 to go and missing the playoffs in the wild card era is the MOST EPIC COLLAPSE of all-time. You can disagree all you want. Missing the playoffs with a seven-game lead when four teams make the postseason is a bigger choke than the '64 Phillies.

 

Sorry, Boots, Mauch had options he just choked by using Bunning and Short every other day.
He is, after all, the most overrated manager in baseball history.
