This is my shameless babble from a disappointed Mets fan! I hope you are ready for my dissertation on the Mets demise!

For the last 3 weeks, the Mets SUCKED! There is no other way to put it! The pitching fell apart, the defense fell apart and the offense, while hitting when they were behind, was not that good either!

Tom Glavine had NOTHING today! There is no sugar coating here! Glavine could not get out of the first inning for gosh sake! Let’s continue into the game. Bases loaded and Ramon Castro hits a ball that looks like it is gone. It fell safely into the glove of left fielder Cody Ross! THAT my friends was the beginning of the end to an otherwise wonderful season!

What happened with the Mets season? Let me think for about a second. Can you say bullpen? Should we list the culprits? Eric Heilman,
Guillermo Mota, and even Billy Wagner! OMG it sucks! 7 game lead and end up with nothing! Not even a wild card!

What the &#$* happened to having the best record in the National League? Not only did that dissolve, it evaporated without reason! Who do you blame? The OVER PAID players, that’s who.

Do you think for 1 second that Willie Randolph asked them to play like crap? Do you think that Willie Randolph “told” his players to forget about people on base? What about fundamentals? Was it Willie Randolph who made them forget? I think not!

I am tired of the media getting people fired from jobs simply because the “PLAYERS” don’t perform! It’s time the PLAYERS become accountable for their lack of production! Let’s see, millions of dollars per player and the player is not responsible for his play? That ain’t right!

Bottom line, Willie Randolph did not lose the 7 game lead, his players did. The defense sucked, the pitching sucked, the bullpen sucked! How much more do I need to say? The saving grace is there is a good nucleus with the team. They only need to create a pitching staff from this point!

Tom Glavine is finished as far as I can see, Pedro Martinez is about done also, but there is hope with John Maine, Philip Humber, Mike Pelfrey, and the others we haven’t seen as yet.

This is my glass-half-full thing…Mets in 08 are GREAT!
