That sucks for Delgado, it looks like he just broke his wrist. The way he threw his bat after getting hit, the scream he let out and the way he was acting after just was not good.
What he hell was wrong with Glavine, hopefullly you guys can climb back in this....I wanna see a playoff game tomorrow!!

The collapse is complete.
After blowing a big September lead in the NL East, the New York Mets missed the playoffs Sunday when Tom Glavine was tagged for seven runs during the first inning of an 8-1 loss to the Florida Marlins in the regular-season finale.
New York's loss coupled with Philadelphia's 6-1 win over Washington gave the division title to the Phillies and sent the stunned Mets home for the winter wondering how they squandered a seven-game cushion over the final 18 days of an excruciating season.
Now, David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Pedro Martinez and the rest of this talented team will forever be remembered alongside the 1964 Phillies and other famous failures for skidding to one of baseball's most monumental collapses.
No major league team had owned a lead of seven games or more with 17 to play, or been up by at least seven on Sept. 12 or later, and failed to finish in first place.
New York's meltdown also matched the blown largest in September. The 1938 Pittsburgh Pirates (Sept. 1) and 1934 New York Giants (Sept. 6) also led by seven games in the final month only to tailspin.
The Mets topped the NL East by seven games after play on Sept. 12 and appeared a lock to wrap up consecutive division titles for the first time in franchise history.
Then everything fell apart.
The Phillies authored a three-game sweep at Shea Stadium from Sept. 14-16 -- giving them wins in the final eight meetings between the teams this year -- and the Mets never recovered.
Doomed by inadequate starting pitching and a leaky bullpen that looked exhausted down the stretch, New York lost 12 of its last 17 games, committing 21 errors in the process.
Luis Castillo struck out to end New York's latest lackluster defeat against a second-division club, prompting perhaps the final round of boos at Shea Stadium this year.
Moments later, the final score in Philadelphia was posted on the out-of-town scoreboard and Mets fans filed for the exits, quietly muttering to themselves.
