The Mets did. The lost to the Marlins today, 4-2, clinching their 2nd straight September collapse.
At the beginning of the month, they had a 2 game lead on the Phillies in the NL East (last year they had a 3 game lead). On September 15th, they had a mere half-game lead on the Phillies (last year they had a 4.5 game lead).
So this year's "collapse" wasn't as big as last season's, but regardless it makes me smile to see that team fall apart again in September. What makes it even sweeter is the fact that the Nationals helped the Brewers and Phillies out, stealing a couple games from the Mets throughout the month. And, despite the Nats' last-place finish (and 1st overall pick) that was also clinched today, it is a good day.
Enjoy your playoff berth, Milwaukee.
