Mets drop game No. 34, this time to the Cardinals, as wild MLB streak hits 16 years

Game 34 just isn’t for the New York Mets.

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Mets 5-4 in the second game of a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon at Busch Stadium in Missouri. That game, which was a makeup from a weather delay on Saturday, ended up being the 34th game of the season for the Mets.

As it’s a new curse that’s been going on for well over a decade now, the Mets simply didn't stand a chance.

The Mets have lost their 34th game of the season a remarkable 16 years in a row now in what has undoubtedly become one of the strangest, and completely inconsequential, curses in sports history.
