Mets Continue Slide Towards Obscurity

As I posted earlier this week, the Mets are done for this year. They have no heart. They have no pride. They have no stones. Worst of all, they have Owners who are asleep at the wheel, and a GM that must be on drugs. There is no other explanation for the continued failures to realize all the problems that exist with this team.

I'm fuming because of the utter lack of courage from the Wilpon's to do what's needed to wake this team up. FIRE OMAR THIS WEEK. The Wilpon's need to relive 2000. They cleaned house, and the Mets with Bobby Valentin went to the series that year. Willie has no spine and no brain for this job. The only reason he's still there is because Omar likes him. Since Omar won't fire Willie, the Wilpon's need to fire Omar and allow the new GM to hire his own manager. Omar has done once again what he did in Montreal. He's emptied the farm system of any players of any value, and continues to sign old worn out players for stupid money and long contracts. Just look at what he did to the Expos and now to the Mets. The Nationals/ Expos are still trying to recover from his "WONDERFUL BASEBALL INSIGHTS AND TRADES". In the upcoming ALL-STAR game, the rosters of the teams will be full of players traded away by OMAR when he was with Montreal and NY. I don't care that he's brought in Maine, Santana, Wagner, Pedro, Beltran, ect. He's also brought Alou', Castillo, Hernandez, Delgado, Wise, Mota, Vargus, Johnson, Eli Morrero, Adkins, Sosa, ect., ect., while dealing Banister, Nady, Bell, Jacobs, Linstrom, ect., ect., and not signing Lo Duca, Eickstien, Colon, ect., ect. I read today that he even managed to waste the three 1st round draft picks in this years draft. Where are the power hitting outfielders? The power Pitchers? The power hitting second basemen? They got drafted by other teams, and the Mets have more of the same old average at best players drafted. So once again the Mets will need to sign free-agents for stupid money and lose more draft picks because Omar is the Village Idiot. Once Omar is gone Willie's and Tony B.'s .safety net will be gone, and then they'll either straighten up or be fired too. No one as any grounds for defending Omar. He's a used car salesman at best. He takes in old players, cleans them up, and tries to sell them as great guys with low miles.

The players have no heart and pride either. How can they allow runners to continually be stranded in scoring position? Can any of them hit a curve ball? Can any of them catch a ball? Why do they continue just go through the motions and not hustle for every ball and every play? They don't care about winning and appear to care more about collecting their fat paychecks. If this team continues to play like this, Citi-Field will be an easy ticket to buy next year. As bad as the Mets played in the late 70's and the early 90's, you expected that lousy play from those lousy teams. This team has too much talent to play this bad. they need a major attitude adjustment. Releasing a player or two would send a tidal wave through the clubhouse. Alou' needs to go. He can't stay healthy, and he's a drain on the team. They keep waiting for him to save them, but he can't get out of bed without hurting himself. Delgado also needs to go contract or not. He can't field his position, and he sucks at the plate. Bring up Carp and Murphy to replace the both of them. They play the outfield and 1st base, and are tearing up the minors. Time to see if they can play full time next year, or if the Mets need to try for Tiexeria and Holliday.


I'm done for now. I have to stop before I destroy my computer. I'm so disgusted, that it's hard to find anything to look forward to in the near future. Someone getting cut, or fired might turn things around for me, but I doubt it will happen. It makes too much sense, and the Wilpon's don't do anything that makes sense. We all know why Citi-field only seats 45,000 now. The Wilpon's figure the team will never be good enough for an extended period of time to sell out a 58,000 seat stadium like Shea. 15,000 fans looks a lot better in a small stadium, then in a large stadium.
