Mets vs Diamondbacks: The Curse of the Desert

'The Curse of the Desert Diamond: A True Crime Mystery in the NL East'

Dateline: October 2007 – Phoenix, Arizona

The Arizona Diamondbacks were the underdog darlings of the 2007 postseason—a young, scrappy team that had clawed their way to the NLCS against the heavily favored New York Mets. But beneath the surface of this David vs. Goliath matchup, whispers swirled of sabotage, psychological warfare, and a curse that would haunt the Mets for years to come.

The Crime Scene: Shea Stadium, Game 1

The Diamondbacks stole Game 1 in New York, but not without controversy. Mets ace Tom Glavine—a future Hall of Famer—mysteriously unraveled, surrendering four runs in just four innings. Conspiracy theorists pointed to Arizona’s dugout, where pitching coach Bryan Price was seen studying Glavine’s mechanics with an unsettling intensity. Had the Diamondbacks cracked some hidden flaw in Glavine’s delivery? Or was there something more sinister at play?

The Smoking Gun: The Blackout Game

In Game 2, with the Mets leading 4-0, the lights at Shea Stadium suddenly flickered and died—a bizarre power outage that halted play for 12 minutes. When the game resumed, Arizona’s Tony Clark launched a two-run homer, sparking a rally that would doom the Mets. Coincidence? Or had someone in the Diamondbacks’ organization found a way to manipulate the stadium’s electrical system?

The Key Witness: Jose Reyes’ Stolen Base

The Mets’ electric shortstop, Jose Reyes, was the engine of their offense. But in Game 3, Reyes was caught stealing—twice—by Arizona catcher Miguel Montero, a rookie who had studied Reyes’ tells with eerie precision. Later, Montero would admit, 'We knew his moves before he did.' Had the Diamondbacks planted a mole in the Mets’ clubhouse? Or was there a deeper betrayal at work?

The Final Blow: The Curse of the Rally Monkey (Gone Rogue?)

In the decisive Game 4, the Diamondbacks unleashed an unexpected psychological weapon: a twisted version of the Angels’ Rally Monkey. Instead of cheering, the mascot appeared on the Jumbotron with glowing red eyes—a haunting image that coincided with Mets’ closer Billy Wagner surrendering a crushing three-run homer to Mark Reynolds.

By the time the final out was recorded, the Mets were left in ruins, their season over. But the real mystery was only beginning.

The Aftermath: A Franchise Cursed?

In the years that followed, the Mets would endure bizarre collapses, injuries, and inexplicable bad luck—leading some to wonder: Had the Diamondbacks hexed them?

2008: The Mets’ historic September meltdown.

2009-2014: A parade of injuries and front-office chaos.

2015-16: Two more crushing playoff losses.

Meanwhile, Arizona thrived, reaching the playoffs multiple times, as if feeding off New York’s misfortune.

The Unanswered Questions

Did the Diamondbacks employ black-ops-style scouting to break the Mets’ code?

Was the Shea Stadium blackout an inside job?

And most chilling of all… does the curse still linger?

The evidence is circumstantial. But for Mets fans, the pain is all too real.

Case Status: Unsolved.
