Hell,I'm just as fed up with the last few seasons as the next guy. Nonetheless,I have faith that things will get turned around again,like they have in the past and probably will again in the future. If comments like "...the only suitor for Bay is this broken down NL team with no direction home...." are your way of letting off steam about The Mets recent failures and shortcomings,so be it. But,if you seriously have that opinion of the team,go be a Yankees fan. They could always use another bandwagon jumper ;)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('156956','Steve_B'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('156956','Steve_B','Granted I know that people create websites like this because of their fandom or whatever,but to have a Mets-centric website and badmouth and trash the team constantly makes no sense.

They will parade in wearing Yankee jackets, and get Yankee gifts. One may give me a Mets mug and snicker as I open it...as Beningo would say...oh the pain. Kelvim Escobar? Is that not a typical Minaya signing? Pitched one game in the bigs in the last 2 years, and he's 33. I say again, all it takes to right the ship is for Jeff to hire a GM who has a clue, and Jeff to step aside. All of the problems, the bad contracts (that lead to the inability to spend) the non-existent farm system (that leads to the inability to trade) all falls on the most clueless, disgrace of a GM in professional sports.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('156887','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('156887','Rich','Michael, you\'re like the warm-up act for them.

I just got back from midnight mass (my church does it at 10, so I guess it is a misnomer, but it is SO much better). The good feeling of Christmas is diminished when I think of the happenings (or lack thereof) in Queens. Amazing what this team can do to you.
