Hot Foot

I know the NY tabloids would salivate over this scoop, but I'm going to give it to my long-time peeps at ultimateMets.com:

I did NOT wear my lucky "Luis Guillorme" Mets hat during this game. Repeat: I did NOT wear it.

When the score was 4-0, the thought flashed in my mind that it was "hat time" and I should get up off the couch and run to the closet and grab the hat, just like the first day of spring training.

But in that moment, I thought to myself, "No, Hot Foot, don't get up. They can do it without your help. After all, those smart BASTARDS traded Colin Holderman!!!!! They deserve to lose!"

Then I crawled into bed, fell asleep, and when I woke up, Howie Rose was giving the recap of the loss.

Sorry kids, maybe next year.

This was the second most despicable game in Mets history. Only the season finale against the Marlins in 2007 was more agonizing than this defeat to the Padres. In the decider of a best-of-three post season series, the Mets got only one hit and were beaten solidly. Even worse is that the series itself never should've even been played. Adding an extra Wild Card team to create it cheapened the Major League playoff system more than it had been already. With their 101-win regular season and a tie for first place in the N. L. East Division, there was no legitimate reason why the Mets should have had to go through this inexcusable early round.

Please note:
We're looking for your comments about this specific game. We've had people use this space to share their thoughts on how the current season is going, or on ways that the Mets can improve the team. Such comments, unless in the context of this particular game, will be considered off-topic and will be removed.

Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:

Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and we would let it remain.

We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments, and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.

Thank you!
