Glavine was not only horrendous in this game 162 start as we all know, but he was also horrendous in his previous two outings = one earlier in the week at Shea against the Nationals, and the one before that ironically in Florida against the Marlins. I was not feeling confident at all with Glavine pitching this game, and I was right.... GIven, I did not expect him to self-destruct the way he did and not even pitch an inning

bad loss. bad loss. LETS GO METS 07! Gary, Keith, Ron, and Kevin, Thanks for everything, great job this year, and I guess ill see you guys next year!

The greatest September collapse is by miles the 1964 Phillies, since they were 6 games up with 12 games to go. And remember, what makes this also the greatest collapse of all time is that back in 1964, there was no Division Series NOR LCS, so if the Phillies held on to that lead, they would have won the NL Pennant automatically and been in the World Series. When the 1995 Angels, 2007 Mets, 2011 Braves, 2011 RSOX, had their regular season collapse, it was for them to be in the Division Series. When the 1978 RSOX collapsed, it was for them to be in the ALCS.

I guess that dust is going to take over a decade.

this was the start of a Phillies era.

They never recovered after that. They haven’t made the playoffs since then.

Mets in 2007 lost 28 games in which they scored 4-runs-or-more in a game. That just cannot happen. Thats something that happens to teams with 90+ losses, or to teams that play 80 home games either in Coors-Field or the Rangers-open-air-stadium.

I think it came down to the sweep to the Phillies at home in early sept.

If by "do it" you mean beat the Nationals for dead last in the NL East, then I wholeheartedly agree. They are off to a great start in that direction.

yea thats pretty old buddy

THIS was a truly nasty way to lose the NL East pennant.

The Mets in 2007 played nicely in April and they played great in May, and they were looking like the Mets in 2006 But they were just a .500 team from June 01 till September 30, maybe even below .500 Many talk like the Mets in 2007 were a dominant team like in 2006, and that was NOT the case, especially after May 31. It still surprises me how the Mets in 2007 how such comfortable leads in the NL East at any points. I felt that the Braves and Phillies were better teams than the Mets in 2007 Mets in 2007 honestly overachieved. As for why they werent as dominant in 2007 like in 2006, many reasons = - Carlos Delgado wasnt that offensive force in 2007 like he was in 2006. Look at his numbers in 2007, especially in comparison to 2006 - David Wright had a HORRENDOUS April and he hit no home runs, as he was still trying to "recover" his swing after he lost it after the 2006 Home Run Derby. Remember how he struggled alot in the second half of the 2006 season and the 2006 postseason. Thankfully, Wright recovered starting in May 2007 for the best season of his career - Moises Alou, who was having a great season, spent many games of the season on the DL - Jose Valentin was not as great in 2007 like he was in 2006. Mets got Luis Castillo in late July and Castillo did well actually, but thats still many games with lack of offensive production from second base. Although Damion Easley and Ruben Gotay did well enough covering second base as well - Paul Lo Duca wasnt that offensive force with the contact hitting in 2007 like he was in 2006. In 2006, Lo Duca and Reyes made an amazing 1-2 combo in the lineup with Lo Duca hitting second, with Reyes getting on base with a single or double or triple in the first inning, and then Lo Duca with his great contact swing getting a hit and then the Mets were giving trouble to the opposing team on the first inning of a game with the heart of the lineup coming up. But Lo Duca was not sharp offensively in 2007 that Randolph would hit him in the bottom of the lineup - Mets top pitching prospect and top everyday player prospect were not developing as expected. Lastings Milledge and Mike Pelfrey - Mets bullpen in 2007 was very unreliable. Mets bullpen in 2006 was one of their strongest points. Again, Mets at no point during the 2007 season should have had a big lead on the division or the wild card.

This still isn't the biggest collapse in baseball history. I think the '64 Phillies and '69 Cubs are probably the two worst. The Phillies for losing a big lead so quickly, so late in the season and the cubs for losing 17 games in the standings in like 6 weeks. Stakes have to be included. Only 2 and 4 teams made the playoffs in those years. So you never know when you're going back. Now, with 8 and 10 teams, you have more chances. The 78 Red Sox are up there too.
