They want out. They don't even want to watch anymore. This shabby, sloppy, clueless organization is going to ride the injury alibi all the way down the line, right to the point when Delgado and Reyes come back and they refuse to run out fly balls, or Delgado refuses to run to first when strike three is not handled by a catcher---sonmething he happens to do ALL THE TIME. Reyes, of course, will infuriate our opposition with his chest thumping and his meringue (sp?)dances after third inning home runs. And, of course, no one will get a big hit. I do not blame people for giving up. This whole fundamental thing is infuriating. But it is not because they loafed through spring training. It is because there is a culture on this team of letting the inmates run the asylum. I am also sick and tired of Sandy Alomar. He has been a coach the whole time this team has been playing with their heads up their asses. Everyone else gets changed (INCLUDING THE MANAGER)but Sandy goes on forever. When does he take a hit? Or is he Omar's uncle or something? Everybody talks about him like he is a beloved grandpa. Is it any surprise that the guy who is responsible for the infielders is left unscathed while the rest of the staff turns over every year? The culture of accountability stops at the bench coach. Bottom line is Omar has to go. He is the engineer on this circus train. You cannot accept the same mistakes from players, managers and coaches every year and not look to the man in charge. the mets are a laughing stock.jdonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-32174648355044162402009-06-13T18:43:32.159+01:002009-06-13T18:43:32.159+01:00The NY Fundamentals.

Switzer is not good and bringing him in at that point was poor poor judgement. Since 05(when had Wee Willie KNOWN how to use a pitching staff and we could have won the East) the Mets have NOT shown good fundamental baseball skills, or is it that their gaffes seem to afect the final outcome in negative ways that would be forgotten had we won. The last 3 nights are ALL easily winnable games if SOMEONE can hit a mere single in a gap where TWO runs might score(kudos to Church, Sheff and Wright for actually getting some extra bases)<br /><br />Luis<br /><br />Adenzeno@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-28800122798653679602009-06-13T11:28:30.357+01:002009-06-13T11:28:30.357+01:00I already hated Castillo so I have no problem ther...I already hated Castillo so I have no problem there. He is a statue at second base. No range. The slowest turner of a DP I have seen this side of Fernando Tatis. Especially when he starts one. He NEVER charges a ball. You could see he was having trouble from the git-go with the height of the ball, the lights, the chafing. But when you struggle like that can you at least have the presence of mind to close your second hand over the ball? No, you have to style, don't you? Three losses that the team had in hand. Another sloppy fundamental mistake. Look at this team. At present we have six guys who should not be at the major league level: Switzer, Valdez, Nieve, Reed, Murphy and Martinez. You might want to throw Castillo and Schneider into the mix as well; they ar eawful enough. Sean Green would have made the list two weeks ago and he still may return. While you can make excuses for Murphy and Martinez, all the others are here courtesy of Omar "If I Only Had A Brain" Minaya. That is the best he could do for injury replacements in the event any of his out of shape, old, indifferent or fragile (Hey, all of these adjectives describe Delgado, among others) players had to infest the DL. Jerry, who I thought last year might provide a breath of fresh air, instead fell in love with his press clippings and has morphed into a prime doofus. We are doomed. The name of this play is "Waiting for Delgado." That is about as depressing as it gets. And while we are on the subject, please tell me the last time Reyes drove in a big run late. This team is not lacking base runners, which is what he brings. And Cora is much surer at short than Jose has been the last year. We need people who can drive in runs, and drive in big runs as well. Baserunners we got. Oh, and we also need someone who can catch pop-ups.jdonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-67451659831070567212009-06-13T05:26:25.116+01:002009-06-13T05:26:25.116+01:00simply disgusting. the only thing that could take...simply disgusting. the only thing that could take the sting out of this was an announcement by Omar that he is resigning.
