I told you so

Since the Mets are sitting home instead of playing baseball, I thought I'd share some more e-mails I sent during the Summer of 07. These were sent to the local sports talk radio program. If someone like me, how has never played organized baseball can see the problems, why couldn't Witless Willie and management? This one is from 6/14/07 Andrew, I wonder how long before Willie decides to make major changes to the lineup. Delgado continue to kill any scoring chances, and Beltran is hopeless. He's turned into nothing but a 18 million dollar wimp. I wonder if he'll be missing any time because he bumped into the wall last night? I've never seen such a big cry baby in professional sports. Unless he's 100% healthy, he can't hit his way onto a little league team. Lo Duca needs to get back into the 2 hole. He makes contact with the ball and doesn't strikeout. He's the perfect guy to move Reyes around the bases. Wright, Green, Lo Duca, and Valentine are the only people hitting the ball lately. They need to be put in the lineup where they can drive in runs and move people into scoring position. Beltran, Delgado, Leday are just getting in the way of wins. Until Delgado starts hitting on a consistent basis, he shouldn't hit any higher than 6th in the order. He needs to have a few weeks of multi hit games before he's moved up in the order. Delgado is constantly killing rallies, and doesn't show any signs of getting better. Beltran needs to stop complaining about his knee and legs and be a man. He's paid a lot of money to play and drive in runs. The only driving he's doing the last month is to the bank, because he certainly isn't driving any baseballs into the stands. And this one is from 6/15/07. It's kind of fitting that I saw the "mental Issues" the Mets had, 3 months before Witless Willie. Rodger, Morning to you and Kenny. I can't say it's a good morning, because the Mets season hangs in the balance. I dread the start of tonight's game because of the situation Willie continues to ignore. This weekend will prove where Willie's allegiance is in the baseball world. If he continues to trot out the same old batting order that has Lo Duca in the bottom 3rd and Delgado batting 4th or 5th, he's working against the Mets. If he moves Lo Duca up and Delgado down, the Mets may make a show of the weekend series. Betran needs to play like a man that's getting 18 million a year, not some bush league hack. Heilman needs to disappear for the weekend, and Wright and Reyes need to get hits. If these things happen, maybe the Mets can win a game or two this weekend. If Not, the season is lost and the Mets will be sitting home this October. They can't beat the Braves, and now the Phillies are in their heads too. Not a good thing if the Mets plan on a post season this year. So, do you think I'd make a better manager than Witless Willie? I do.
