Mets Prove Why They Will Always Be New York's "Other" Team

Can Someone Photoshop "ASS-HAT" Onto This Guy's Forehead For Me?

The Nationals may be playing out a lost season, but the New York Mets are a dumpster fire. The Mets just dropped their second straight game to the Nats last night, and in this blogger’s mind, have officially been eliminated from contention.

As bad as we are, teams who drop a series to the Nats should be automatically eliminated from the payoffs. The way the Mets played the last two nights, they deserve as much ridicule as they get. Power Alley (an okay radio show on MLB Homeplate, XM-175) is devoting much of their program to how the Mets can salvage anything in 2009. Right now, the callers who claim to be Mets fans seem to think the organization may need to consider keeping anything of value before the riots begin at Citi Field and the fans start tearing the new park apart.

Earlier this week, Mets Vice President of Player Development Tony Bernazard apparently went to Binghamton, NY where the Mets AA affiliate plays and challenged a bunch of players to a fight and used derogatory terms to call them out. What exactly is he trying to develop? I mean, other than a reputation for being a complete and total ass-hat? This comes on the heels of another accusation that Bernazard challenged Major League closer Francisco Rodriguez to a fight on the team bus after a game in Atlanta. Then there’s the case of the fan who killed his mother after the Mets lost a game to the Nationals a couple of years back.

What exactly is wrong with that organization? At least, so far anyway, we just kinda suck at playing baseball. The Mets appear to have a fanbase and front office that kinda sucks at life. Gain some perspective.
