Ive decided to do this blog after watching the mets choke for the second straight year. The Mets are a great team but after winning the 2006 National League East division championship the mteam got a little bit to cocky. The mets were eliminated during the NLDS versus the St.Louis Cardinals. in 2007 the mets were going threw an amazing year, until they got cocky again and couldnt even make it to the post season"its so easy it gets boring" as stated Carlos delgado first baseman of the team. they were 7 games up with 17 games to go and they lost there chance to the last place team, The Marlins. in the first inning of that final game, Tom Glavine the veteran pitcher of the Mets gave up 7 runs. and that was the beggining of the end for that game. This year 2008 last year at shea the mets didnt get first place to easily they kept taking it and giving it up to rivalary team Phillies but when it got up to the final 17 games the luck started to turn again they were 3and 1/2 games up this time and for the second straight year lost to the Florida Marlins....the mets bullpen crisis continued. The mets are now losing there fans and when a team chokes they call it a "metropolitan choke".the teams failure wont make me stop liking them all though they dissapoint me ill be a met fan for life.
