Mucking Fets
For a Cubs fan, sweeter words could not be read:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Following the last bewildering loss of a season gone sour, the dejected New York Mets filed into their quiet clubhouse and packed for a particularly stark winter.
When they needed a big game, Tom Glavine pitched one of his worst. And now, their collapse is complete.
After blowing a big September lead in the NL East, the Mets missed the playoffs Sunday when Glavine was battered for seven runs during the first inning of a season-ending 8-1 loss to the Florida Marlins.
"It's something that's going to take a while for us to get over," said Glavine, pitching for maybe the last time in his major league career.
New York's defeat coupled with Philadelphia's 6-1 win over Washington gave the division title to the Phillies and sent the stunned Mets home wondering how they squandered a seven-game cushion over the final 18 days of an excruciating season.
Awwwwww. Pobrecitas.
"wondering how they squandered a seven-game cushion over the final 18 days" - ummm... because you SUCKED?
Ricardo Montalban was right - revenge is a dish best served cold.
