* The Mets played their 7000th game and passed 10,000 total doubles.

Passing 10,000 doubles is not an accomplishment for them. I need to invent a new word for this, so let's call it an antiplishment. Actually, I already have a word for it. I can use the word I invented last year--longevitied (longevitied, v., to accumulate a total in a category merely by longevity, without being any good at it). But, I like antiplishment, too.

If the Mets were any good at hitting doubles, they would have reached 10,000 a few years ago. Worst 2B vs. the league average, since 1962--
