Question

How u have a 5 to 2 lead going 2 the nine inning and lose the game 8to 6?

Answer 1

I don't understand why you're so shocked by this happening. It's not like it hasn't happened before. It was just one of those games. The Mets didn't have their closer and the other pitchers didn't have it.

The same thing happened a few weeks ago: the Cubs had a 7-2 lead going into the 9th against the GIANTS of all teams (this is after new Cub Rich Harden shut down the Giants over 7 innings) and Carlos Marmol decided to give up 5 runs (1 unearned thanks to a terrible play by Theriot at shortstop) to let them tie it up. Luckily he got out of the inning and the Cubs still won. But it happens.

Answer 2

SOFT PLAYERS !!

The Phillies have J-ROLL a true leader!!

NL EAST 2008 Champions ( PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES)

Answer 3

Your bullpen sucks.

Answer 4

When the opposing team score 6 in the ninth when you only score 1. It also hurts not having your closer available.

Answer 5

mets are good at choking

Answer 6

On their very first game of the season, the Pittsburgh Pirates were leading the Braves something like 9-4. There were two outs in the bottom of the ninth.

Somehow, the Braves managed to tie it up and the game had to go 13 innings before the Pirates managed to score and win it.

I guess a team has to be awful or something.

Answer 7

Bullpen was off the charts during the streak.. Without Wagner we have no guys that have been in save situations in the last 4 years.   Heilman has been in high pressure spots but has failed as much as he succeeded.  We need a healthy Wagner and John Roush would not have hurt (just got Traded).  Overall we need a lot of help.. Bullpen and outfield... Feel Bad for Santana

Answer 8

Same way you choke away a 7 game lead with 17 games to go, have METS embroidered across your chest.

Answer 9

Phillies rock!!!

Yeah!!

Answer 10

you run into the Fightin' Phils
