He was always full of excuses. “Well, if the ball had dropped here instead of there…” and so forth. His comments after the season were over hardly endeared him to any of us either. He had a very rocky start in the contract, and didn’t hit his stride until almost mid-way through said contract as well. Nobody wanted him signed to begin with, he had his high point in 2006, but other than that he’s been mediocre. Good luck in Atlanta, you POS. At least now I won’t have to hear so much about how he’s such a “class act” and how he’s “involved in the community” in Queens.

You’re seriously telling me that last game in Philly at the end of August wasn’t bad enough to make the list? It’s certainly debatable that the two Philly losses from earlier in the season weren’t worse.

Are you telling me that some loss in April was worse than the final Met choke in Philly, or a couple of them in September at Shea?

And you’re right, three of the games out of seven were against other teams, so it wasn’t totally Philly-centric.

OK, not an insult to anyone’s way of thinking here, but what are the odds Guerra was thrown in at the end to seal the deal for Santana? Especially since the exact trade offer many sources posted for weeks is the one that obtained Santana. Reality now, Omar strong armed Smith because he could, and because Smith needed to keep some honor as a rookie GM since his trade for grade A prospect in Hughs fell through, Omar allowed twins GM Smith to maintain his dignity by claiming Smith managed to squeeze Guerra into the package which is a wise move for future transactions with any GM. A win win situation for Omar and the Mets.

100% agree. its not that he lost the game, if he went out and through 6 innings and gave up like 4 runs and we lost he clearly wouldnt have gotten all the blame but the guy COULDNT GET OUT OF THE 1ST INNING! thats just ridiculous. he deserves to be booed by every single fan in the stadium.

2 games that im surprised are not on there are the loss in pitt when we couldve swept and they came from behind big time against the bullpen. that was absolutely brutal, and the following thursday at home against SD when marlon anderson hit that BIG pinch hit HR to put us in front and it looked like it was going to be one of those great 2006ish games that we would win in dramatic fashion but it turned out to be a typical 2007 game with the bullpen (cough wagner cough) blowing the game in the end.

Yes the Mets still needed an ace, but had we squeeked into the playoffs would the front office have been willing to spend that kind of money to land him?

If we had made the playoffs, “the collapse” would have instead have been a near collapse and forgotten about. Glavine would have still gone but they could probably have signed a Lohse or Livan to replace him.

I feel the collapse forced them to make that push.
