Extra-Inning Games in 2015

The Mets have played 28 games so far this season, and all of them have ended after nine innings. Have the Mets ever gone this deep into a season with no extra-inning games? The answer is yes, twice.

They've also neither won, nor lost, a game via walk-off - something that may not be a record but is probably longer than usual as well.

It'll be known in the future as "The Year of Short Games." I think Terry change pitchers mid-inning in the ninth last ninth just to help out the venders.

Turns out that this is already the [u:gkd9fbdk]4th longest[/u:gkd9fbdk] into a season without a game ending in a walk-off.

From 2011: Dearth of walkoffs

I saw an interview where Mookie named that homer as his greatest baseball memory.

Ahh, I probably shouldn't be surprised that this topic has been tackled before.
Considering it was his first full year (full-ish year anyway seeing as how it was the strike year) in the majors and only his 3rd ever HR, that a come-from-behind (Mets had given up 1 in top-9) game winner against the division rival/1st place Cardinals gets tagged as a favorite probably isn't all that odd. I wonder what Keith thought as Mookie flew by him at 1B: 'Hey, who's this chucker?'. Because of the strike, game #91 didn't come until Sept 20 and the Mets wound up with only 3 w-o wins that season: Mookie's game, then the very next night, and then nine days later with just 5 games left in the season. Cardinals wound up with the best winning pct in the NL East that year but won neither 'half' and so didn't advance to the expanded playoffs that year. They lost the 2nd half to Montreal by 1/2 game. Way to spoil a party Mookster!
