Are You Still Emotionally Attached To The 2010 Mets?
An article by 
The Mets said they understood the importance of this series in Atlanta and the need to sweep to have any chance of making September relevant. The Mets said they were ready.
Can you imagine what would have happened had they not have been?
Last night’s dismantling at the hands of the Braves was disheartening not in that they loss, but in the manner in which they were beaten. They didn’t just mail in the game, they used Federal Express. There was a listlessness about them that I hadn’t seen much this summer. We keep hearing how the Mets have their shortcomings, but that they always hustle and play hard.
I didn’t see that last night.
I saw a flat team. A team that gave away countless at-bats. A team that didn’t play crisp in the field and whose bullpen sprung another leak. A team that in front of its owner, laid down.
The Mets played like a team knowing its season is over and will have a new manager next year. How can you get any other feeling when they used Oliver Perez, the human white surrender flag?
The Mets played without emotion, without passion to the point where it begs the question: If they don’t care why should we?
Is anybody still emotionally involved with the Mets anymore?

Yes because I always am and can’t seem to help myself. There are some players and the management that makes it hard. But besides that I still get upset when they lose.
FIRE HOJO ALREADY.
Well, I love them, and every loss burns, but, no, I’m not emotionally attached. Sorry, if that makes no sense, but I don’t like the configuration of guys on the roster. I guess in my mind the Mets supersede the men.
They play like crap, and they seemed to be managed like crap.
Never knew a .500 team could look so crappy!
If you mean the emotions I feel when I see a beautiful woman-No But
If you mean the emotion I feel when watching a Met game and their losing 10-2 and the bartender yells “last call” -Yes.
I’ll pay anyone to take the remainder of my season tickets. I hear the Wilpons are thinking about PSLs to pay off the money Sterling Industries lost with Madoff and to repurchase Bobby Bonilla’s deferred buyout.
(LMAO!!!) Now, if that ain’t love?????????????
Are you serious about the PSLs or are you just joking?
Sorry, what is a PSL?
Personal Seat License. It gives a season ticket holder the right for a certain seat in the park.

You’ve clearly got to be joking about PSL’s.
I recall Ojeda being livid during the postgame…
Right now, I hope that the Mets get swept by the Braves all four games! Something must be done NOW!!! Why play around with the inevitable? Let the house cleaning begin from top to bottom!!!
Any postgame buzz from tonight’s disaster?
Man, the pixie dust is off Niese.
The Mets? Are they still playing?
