1) That the Mets somehow fired up the Marlins by showboating and celebrating on Saturday. And that Reyes provoking Olivo into a fight gave the Marlins extra motivation, without which they would have quit on Sunday. That's complete bullshit. Teams don't quit. Did the Marlins quit on Friday? Why didn't the Marlins get fired up in the second half of Saturday's game? Was Dontrelle Willis fired up when he lasted only 2 2/3 innings? Did the Marlins stop being fired up when they scored only 1 run in the last 8 innings? Did they say, ok that's enough? Complete bullshit, none of that had anything to do with the game. The Mets lost because they didn't get it done, not because they gave the Marlins motivation. A few more questions. Were the Marlins motivated all season when they lost 91 games? Even if the Marlins were motivated, shouldn't the Mets have been more motivated? And even if both teams were equally fired up, shouldn't the Mets have been able to beat them anyway? Nonsense.
2) The Mets fans contributed to the team's poor play at home particularly on the last homestand. I am critical of stupid Mets fans who boo constantly and make Shea unfriendly to home ballplayers but to blame the fans for this is ridiculous. Mets fans took every opportunity to go nuts for this team, and every time the Mets blew it. If the fans had cheered louder Tom Glavine wouldn't have given up 7 runs in the first inning? Bullshit. The team sucked, and that's why they lost.
Aren't you one of those Met fans who boos the home team. i remember hearing you boo Piazza on more than one occassion. However, I agree both theories are ridculous.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree on opinion on both points. Let's not forget about them letting the already eliminated Washington Nationals SWEEP them. I mean had they won ONE game against them they could've forced a tiebreaker game from the division or wild card standpoint. Inexcusable. Look at Boston and how they dealt with their signs of collapse when they let the Yanks creep up to 1.5 games. In the end they held on. And I'm a Yanks fan. They just sucked. They choked like the Yanks did in 2004. Only they had a longer time span to turn the ship around and they just couldn't. Sad. Very sad. Suddenly people are forgetting David Wright was in the running for NL MVP and Matt Holliday's stock has sky rocketed.
