I really hope I'm not the only one that's physically nauseous from that series in Atlanta. The Mets shouldn't have even bothered to get on the plane. They could have called Larry and just said "Sorry, Chip. We're not going to bother. Just take the four wins and we'll talk to you soon."
Something HAS to be done to shake this team up. Something HAS to be done to rattle the cage and say "THIS IS NOT F'ING ACCEPTABLE." Willie Randolph isn't the guy that's going to do that. But Joe Torre's never been that guy either. If this were '86, Hernandez would have called a closed door meeting and started throwing punches until everyone agreed that there would never be another series like this one. This is deplorable. I'm embarassed to be a Mets fan right now.
I was embarassed in September too, but not this bad. Because we're constantly reminded of September this year. EVERY announcer brings it up during every game. You can't open a New York newspaper and not see the words September and Collapse together. Thankfully, they also usually add Historic to make sure we don't forget exactly how bad it is.
The Yankees are in last place. I should be happy as a pig in shit. But the Mets are SO UNINSPIRED right now that I can't even gloat. Because unless someone starts kicking ass in that dugout, the Mets are headed for last place too.
Someone, anyone step up and be a leader.
