Shocking: New York Mets Are Held Back by the Mysterious Curse Since 2010, Fate of Losing to St. Louis Cardinals Continues to Repeat!

The Curse No One Talks About — Until It Strikes Again

For over a decade, the New York Mets have battled roster shakeups, front office drama, and injuries — but lurking beneath it all, fans now whisper about something far darker… a mysterious curse that began in 2010 and refuses to die.

Its victim? The Mets.
Its enforcer? The St. Louis Cardinals.
Its impact? Endless heartbreak at the worst possible moments.

Déjà Vu in Red

Time after time, season after season, no matter the stakes or situation, the Cardinals always seem to have the final word. Close game? Walk-off loss. Playoff push? Cardinals sweep. September wildcard race? Somehow, St. Louis sends New York packing — again.

Since 2010, the Mets are a stunning 3–17 in key must-win series against the Cardinals, with multiple blown leads, extra-inning collapses, and bizarre late-game errors. Fans aren’t calling it a coincidence anymore — they’re calling it a curse.

2010: The Year It All Began

Some trace the origin to a seemingly minor moment — a late-season Mets loss to the Cardinals in 2010, where an error and blown save cost them a critical game. But since then? The pattern has grown stronger, more ominous, and almost… scripted.

“It’s like we’re cursed just by playing them,” one fan wrote. “Doesn’t matter who’s on the mound — we melt.”

Players Feel It Too

Even former players have alluded to it:

“There was always a weird energy in those games,” said one ex-Mets pitcher. “Like things would just go sideways for no reason.”

And in a recent series loss where the Mets blew a five-run lead in the 9th — to St. Louis, again — broadcasters joked, “The ghost of Busch Stadium strikes again.”

Is It Mental? Mystical? Or Just Mets Luck?

Skeptics say it’s just bad matchups and timing. Superstition believers say otherwise.

“Something happens when that red jersey steps on the field,” said one longtime fan. “It’s not strategy. It’s fate.”

Breaking the Curse — or Embracing the Chaos?

As the Mets continue their 2025 campaign with another crucial Cardinals series on the horizon, fans wonder:
Will this be the year the curse breaks? Or will history — and heartbreak — repeat once more?

Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: when the Mets face the Cardinals, it’s never just baseball… it’s a saga.
