I thought i was the only one who felt this way already about the '09 Mets. With the exception of Johan and J-Man, there is nobody on this team with any heart. I don't mind bad Mets teams--hey, there's only so much talent available, ya know-- but what I can't stand are talented Met teams that are apathetic. Unfortunately, this team has taken the personality of its ownership instead of its manager. BTW, Endy Chavez leads Seattle with a .344 batting avg. and already has 7 RBI.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('145732','King Ed Ra'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('145732','King Ed Ra','You nailed it with this post.

Omar: I want to re-sign Alou

Every other human being: The guy is 40 and is always hurt, why would you do that?

Result: 8 million dollars for 17 games.

Winter of 2008

Omar” I’ve always wanted Livan, I signed Livan!

Every other human being: He has been pitching to nearly a 6 ERA, and he’s getting older, not younger.

Result: Livan has a decent game, then gets shelled twice.

Omar assembles the team, and the team is fatally flawed. But we shower Omar with a 4 year contract. Is there any wonder why things don’t change?

I know the Wilpons hated the 86 team...(they were asses) but all of that aside, they HATED LOSING...you know that at some point over the last two years someone would have stuck a bat up Jimmy Rollins or Ryan Howards ***. Or beaned Cole Hamels. I can deal with losing, I realy can, I'm a Mets', but this rolling over and playing dead from the minute the games starts...this has been going on for three years now....<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('145680','Paul'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('145680','Paul','I can not believe that we are back to having a gutless team.
