Shea-ing Goodbye, One Last Time

Eric Finkelstein  —  Oct 6, 2008

Ow!

What the hell?

Ow! Seriously — what’s going on here?

Ow! Jeez! Are you pulling out my seats? Ripping out my home run wall too? And my bathrooms? You’re gutting my bathrooms?

Really? So soon? The last game was a week ago YESTERDAY! The end of the season hasn’t even sunk in yet, and you’re pulling me apart? Just like that? Ripping me limb from limb?

Sigh. Alas, such is life for the “other” stadium in New York, I suppose.

I’m not long for this world, but everyone’ll miss me when I’m gone. I’m positive of that.

Loss Ends Mets' Playoff Hopes

The Associated Press  —  Sep 30, 2007

NEW YORK (AP) — Tom Glavine put the New York Mets in a huge hole Sunday and they never climbed back out.

The 303-game winner was chased in the first inning, charged with all seven of Florida's early runs. He made a throwing error and hit Marlins lefty Dontrelle Willis with a pitch with the bases loaded, mistakes that symbolized the Mets' September collapse.

Glavine hoped to pitch the Mets into the playoffs on the final day of the regular season. Instead, he managed only one out in the second-shortest start of his brilliant career. New York lost 8-1 and missed the playoffs when Philadelphia beat Washington 6-1 to take the NL East title.
