that was hilarious. both teams who coughed up epic collapses also blew saves in the 9th to miss out on play-in games!

I would think that would be all they had reason to do .

I find it equally amusing that the Mets who were 7th in MLB in team payroll didn't even finish at .500.
Was the Redsox collapse "EPIC"? Yes it was embarrasing for a team of players who make that much money give up like that and as a fan it is pathetic to watch.
At least the Redsox were in a race, Mets lol.

teams with high payrolls sucks with relative frequency. teams blow leads like the red sox did every 20 years or so. one is clearly worse than the other.
(but yes, lol mets. i think we can all get on board that one)

I think the 20 years part is actually being generous. Once in a lifetime is probably more like it.
The Sox have been known for the September collapses in the past, this one started in August. Very painful to watch, was glad for Football season to come along.

Tigers 2009 was tough. They led their division for almost the entire year and were up 3 games with four to play, then lost the play-in game to the Twins.
And, of course, we can't forget this:
(Red Sox 1978...and the amazingly awesome Bucky Dent!)

There was a ridiculous amount of money tied up in the injured Johan Santana and the semi-injured Beltran. Clearly they've made a lot of bad decisions, but I've come to accept it and look forward to what I hope is an Alderson led turnaround. So this season hurt far less than the collapses in 2007 and 2008.
(But the Sawx...that was just brutal!) :lol:
