The only race the Mets will be in this year will be the one to avoid beating the dismal losing record of the original ’62 Mets. Wouldn’t that be a kick in the head: to execeed the losses of the ’62 Mets after 50 years of operation?

The Wilpon’s knew they were in a major crisis and needed help. I would rather think that they realized that they needed a guy who had the knowledge of how to go about saving this franchise for them.
Regardless of their debt, the franchise is still worth zillions. They are paying him big bucks, he is privy to all of their troubles, and he will rebuild the team based on the adage that pitching is supreme and you start by building a staff that can last the better part of a decade.

Whether Selig forced Sandy down the throats of Fred or not doesn’t really matter. Bottom line is that it will take a few years of mediocrity at best to straighten this crap out!

He is not there to improve the team but rather to keep it afloat.

He was not the Wilpons’ hire but rather Selig’s fixer. Think Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction.

Too bad our team sux so badly that, instead of rooting for them to succeed, we are now supposed to root for them to spoil someone else’s chances. Instead of looking for pitfalls in the path of the Marlins, how about looking for some way for the Mets to succeed. If it came down to that, I’d root for Jose’ to have the big hit to lead the Marlins onward to a championship. You’re not going to get me worked up in a lather to see the Mets as a spoiler. Show me how we get the Mets to be a winner. Oh yeah, that’s right, with the Wilpons in charge, that’s only a wet dream.

So, you’re saying the bright spot of the season could come Oct 1-3. Can’t wait!! Who are you kidding…this team will be double digit games back by Memorial Day (at the latest), the team will be dismantled by July 31…and the players, who haven’t already, will have quit by August 1.

Convoluted thinking in my opinion. I hope our guys win.

F the Wilpons.

They folded up under pressure in 07,08 and even when they had chances to play spoiler the 2 years after in 09 and 2010.They couldn’t get it done. No heart,no guts,no leadership. That’s pretty much why they should’ve busted up the core of the team a long time ago.

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:24:48 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=70913#comment-221727 Since that is probably what it has come down, it’s a really pathetic state of affairs that this is all we have to look forward to in 2012 and beyond. So personally, I’d like to see the Marlins clinch it while playing us for (though I don’t want to hurt anyone wearing the orange and blue by wishing for them to lose) it will at least be one other way to stick it to the Wilpons who deserve it more.

If MLB took over the team toward the end of the season then we can then indeed concentrate of sticking it to the Marlins instead and look forward to hopefully better times in the post-Wilpon era that lays ahead.

That’s the highest OPS against for any team with a minimum FOUR appearances. He’s also 3-10 against the Mets, the worst winning percentage he has against teams he’s faced at least four times. Pure ownership.

And you’re right about the day numbers, too. He’s 19-18 and opponents hit .261/.314/.419 against him in day games. Not terrible, but nothing to write home about.
