  are you laughing thinking that people are going to agree with your sense of humor? You write on a blog for a team who’s management is not committed to winning and you’re gonna laugh at other team’s moves?

  Maybe some grit, heart, and a set of NUTS may help this team. And we can start off by getting rid of your boy David Wright. I know you like his stats that are on paper but that’s about it. Getting Wright out of the clubhouse for major league ready starting pitching will complete the culture change.

  And what’s so funny about Wally Backman? We could use more guys like him instead of guys who don’t slide at home plate or guys who look back at the ball while rounding 3rd base. See how the Red Sox lost to jar your memory.

  And why the HELL are you laughing about Jeff Francoeur? He hit .285 with 20 HRs and 87 RBIs. We could have USED his production batting 6th for this lineup. He was healthy and maybe if we had somebody like Jeff Francoeur driving in runs we could have won more games.

  You write for a Mets site so I don’t think you should be laughing at any other teams for any reason. Let’s take care of our own problems first.

  And if you think that this type of JUNK is funny on a site like this you’re writing for the wrong site. I know of a site that’s perfect for you.

  Remember when Craig Lerner said these exact words:

  Posted on March 30, 2011 at 8:00 am by Craig Lerner
  Getting back to the Times article, lets look at the 2011 Mets and the remarkable job Sandy Alderson did in re-tooling what was an old, tired, under-performing and overpaid group.

  found is this STUPID POST about Meet The Econo-Mets – http://metsmerizedonline.com/2011/03/meet-the-econo-mets.html

  Or how about this RIDICULOUS POST in which you said this season is a success:
  http://metsmerizedonline.com/2011/09/mets-should-consider-this-season-a-success.html

  or any other number of saber slanted opinion pieces you’ve written disguised as Mets updates.

  I find it highly insulting you’re gonna sit here and make fun of a CORRECT way to play the game and think everybody is gonna laugh along with you? Maybe fellow uneducated saber goons will

  But welcome to the new way the Mets operate. Everything close to the vest, no commitment to winning, and let’s all just wait until the kids mature because that’s gonna guarantee winning. Bullshlt because your Three Amigos don’t want to win. They only want to win under certain conditions.

  Remarkable off season by Sandy Alderson – YOUR WORDS – My butt!
  If last off season was remarkable like you said I can’t imagine how off the charts this one will be.

  But you guys are snarky, sarcastic, and think you’re funny enough to come up with a lot of material to keep yourselves laughing while the next few seasons wind up down the toilet. YOu guys will be laughing on the outside but inside i think will be a different story.

  This was another disgusting piece by Lerner. To write a piece like this shows very little understanding or appreciation of what baseball is all about. My NEW favorite American League team – The White Sox.

    Horrible comment.

    You may want to remove caffeine from your diet and add fiber.

    Just because you don’t understand the real baseball moves done thusfar does NOT mean this FO is not committed to winning.

    This team hasn’t won in 24 years, a change is necessary, whether you understand it or not, agree with it or not.

      Buffoon can’t understand anything beyond the here and now. He just wants to win now, not three years from now but unfortunately has no idea what it takes to build a consistent winner. So glad he’s not involved with the Mets.

        This from the guy who said anything learned from 160 years of experience is useless because Beane has a book out!
        • Who October 11, 2011 at 1:13 am

          Yawn. I’m done with you…you’ve given me plenty to laugh at. Thanks for serving your purpose in life.
          • Metsie October 11, 2011 at 1:15 am

            Yep it’s better when your outmatched just to get the hell out of town isn’t it?

            When do you leave?
            • Who October 11, 2011 at 1:18 am

              Outmatched…that’s laughable. A bunch of your comments got so many thumbs down that they were hidden. That says a lot about the “quality” of your insane ramblings.
              • Metsie October 11, 2011 at 9:13 am

                Excuse me but have you seen how many thumbs down you have gotten too?

                Yeah I was apparently outmatched by the guy who used the hiring of Bill James as proof the redSox are a Moneyball team!

                You really make it so easy I can’t even take any pride in exposing you here!
            • JoeSmith October 11, 2011 at 7:46 am

              What are you talking about? Now you are resorting to lies, and saying people are outmatched.

              Perhaps they are outmatched by your moronic statements………not everyone can match the stupid things said……….you are right with that……….
              • Metsie October 11, 2011 at 9:12 am

                Yeah cause remember I’m the guy who bashed Alderson Right Joe?
                Still waiting for you to quote those bashings any progress?
        • Donal October 11, 2011 at 11:27 am

          Wait, did you just imply Billy Beane wrote Moneyball?
          • Metsie October 11, 2011 at 11:59 am

            No but we all know your reading comprehension is more about what you WANT hear than what was actually said!

            What you THINK is true as opposed what is ACTUALLY true!
            • Donal October 11, 2011 at 12:22 pm

              You said Beane has a book out. What book are you referring to?
              • Metsie October 11, 2011 at 12:43 pm

                I am busy today I have no time to deal with the reading challenged!

                IGNORE ON!

                We grownups have to work sometimes to support people like you!
          • Who October 11, 2011 at 12:52 pm

            Moron did imply that…here’s the EVIDENCE that Moron will certainly ask for as a means of trying to dodge his mistake:

            “because Beane has a book out!” –Moron (Metsie)

            Metsie…you SAID that Beane has a book out, which implies that he wrote the book.

            Moron.

  i don’t see McEwing or Backman as gritty. My idea of a gritty Met? Ron Hunt. Or Ty Wigginton. HUnt allowed himself to be hit by couhtless pitches otheres would have ducked. Wigginton? Just ask any of the catchers he ::trainwrecked” at home plate. Just being short on talent seems to make people regard guys as gritty. Put your body out there. Lenny /dykstra was grittier than Backman.
  • Metsie October 11, 2011 at 1:12 am

    Gritty is the moniker you usually get when you aren’t very good but people like you anyway!
• Tony October 10, 2011 at 6:51 pm

  my most hated met of all time. what good is playing all positions when you hit 220?
• Jerry M October 10, 2011 at 11:48 pm

  What good, how about a guy who is gritty, can play 3 positions and hits.320.Daniel Murphy
