You have WAY too much time on your hands. :-) Now excuse me while I go try to come up with unusual ways for us to lose. Ed–buddy. You have WAY too much time on your hands. :-)

I think we've all been hit with the sarcasm bug recently. I'm sure if they make a pity documentary on the Mets, ESPN will be showing it every chance they get. Thanks for the Derek Wallace answer. I had a feeling it was sometime in there because I remember Rey Ordoñez coming up big in that game. 1996 was his rookie year. It’s okay. I think we’ve all been hit with the sarcasm bug recently.

Wallace did it 9-13-1996 in the 9th for the Mets, and Stanton did it for the Mets again 08-03-2004 in the 8th. 4 K's in an inning is wicked. But on topic, let's hope that the Mets don't run into anymore odd endings before they make a pity documentary on us.

I'm sooooo not kidding about that. I’m fully expecting the Marlins to have a walk-off catcher’s inference call on Brian Schneider over the next three games. I’m sooooo not kidding about that.

It happened after a lengthy rain delay. I somehow convinced my mother not to leave during the delay and by doing so, we got to see something that had never happened before in Mets history. Kind of like what I saw at Citi Field yesterday with the unassisted triple play...

That was a good one. How about this one: The Mets are visitors and the game is tied in the bottom of the 9th. There are men on 2nd and 3rd with two outs. If Pelfrey pitches out of this they go to extra innings, but he hiccups, I mean balks, twice. The two runners score and the Mets lose. i pray this never happens.

You really put thought into this, lol, but I guess you're making sense here. It brings to mind the idea of Four Strikeouts in an Inning, which has been done a few times. I saw Shields do it in 08.

One a fly ball out, there is no "force" like there is on a ground ball. As long as Castillo tagged up on 3rd base AFTER the ball was caught by the beer man in CF, he's free to score and tie the game. Since you say Castillo left early, and then throw in the appeal play at 3rd, I think you got a valid quadruple play. I'm not sure which out would be stricken from the record in favor of Castillo's at 3rd, but the Phillies win the game and Razor Shines is fired since Castillo would have had time to score, go back to 3rd and score again if Ibanez has to get the ball from CF. nice work!
