Read: 44 Reasons the Mets Lost
The staff at Page 2 for ESPN.com humorously list ‘Forty-four reasons why the Mets suffered perhaps the greatest collapse in baseball history.’
Among the forty-four, they list…
- Everyone knows Tom Glavine hits the wall at 200 innings … why did Willie Randolph try to squeeze even one-third of an inning more out of him?
- Lastings Milledge is no Willie Mays.
- Mr. Met got distracted by his mid-season election to the Hall of Fame.
- Bill Belichick was stealing the Mets’ signals.
- Jimmy Rollins played baseball while Jose Reyes sulked.
…that last one hurts…it hurts because it is true…
