I put a futures bet at Harrah's in March for the Mets to make it to the World Series. Put in $150 bet at 8-1 odds which would of paid a cool $1,200. To this day I can't believe beltran struck out looking down a run with the bases loaded from that curve ball from Wainright to end the game. Unbelievable. To be a little fair, that was a sick pitch from Wainwright. Even if Beltran swung, I doubt he even fouls it off. I was at that game. Fans were PISSED OFF heading out of the stadium.

I was at that game. Fans were PISSED OFF heading out of the stadium. Also because Wainwright was a rookie nobody IIRC. Beltran might have gotten more slack if everyone understand how good Wainwright was going to be. But yeah, that certainly put a damper on his Mets career. And turned Endy's all-time catch and Ollie's wonderful (and shocking) start into mostly forgotten footnotes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no, not Norwood). How about Glavine remembering his Braves roots on the final day of the season, on which the Mets just needed to beat the ***** Marlins to get into the playoffs. That scumbag gave up seven first-inning runs. To the ***** Marlins. That put the exclamation point on the infamous collapse of 2007.

I turned it off at 3-1 in the 6th. The Nats weren't doing anything and I gave them no chance!!! Wow. The Dodgers need to change things up at this point. Too many chances and no results. Astros better take heed tonite. Losing to the Rays will be a bigger upset than the Nats taking out the Dodgers. 33 minutes ago, Gugny said: It was a hanging curve ball that should have been jacked. You know, I posted earlier that I thought it was a good pitch and then re-watched it yesterday and you're right. It hung up high in the zone. I think my memory of Beltran's jelly legs made me think it was a better pitch than it actually was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great game, I got fond memories of Endy Chavez who was always a favorite of mine climbing the wall in LF to rob that homer. I agree with Gungy, I thought Wainwright hung it a bit.

Haha, yes, to be a Mets fan, the heartbreak. The only thing I could compare it to is being a Bills fan. Unfortunately I am both. I told my son when he was 4 to be a Yankees fan, you will have less heartbreak in your life. He is now 15 & he didn't listen to me. Heis as big of mets fan as I am. & I do remember that Marlins game. Me & my son both threw our jerseys off after the final out & said we are going to be Red Sox fans. That lasted about 3 minutes. I never thought Glavine looked right in Blue & Orange.
