Fire and Ice

When you lose to the worst team in baseball, you have to respond in some way. And so it goes with the Washington Nationals as they put a beating on the New York Mets 4-0 after losing to them the previous evening.

At MetsFanClub.com, we employ "The Secret", so I stopped watching after the Nats put up 2 runs in the bottom of the fourth, but apparently those who subjected themselves to the further torture say the Mets could do nothing against the Nats' John Lannan, who threw his first complete game shutout of his career. The Mets are ice cold - There's nothing else to say... who cares anyway at this point? Right?

It's bad enough the Mets can't hit and have been a complete embarrassment on the field for the past 6 weeks. Now a report comes out that Mets VP of player development Tony Bernazard (another incompetent that somehow keeps his job) recently took his shirt off and challenged the Double-A Binghamton Mets to a fight in the team's clubhouse after a game. In keeping with the line of thought from a previous post: fire him IMMEDIATELY! This is outrageous! The man's a disgrace. (should we even speculate on how he got his job in the first place?)

On the good news front, it seems the Mets front office have given Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel votes of confidence and have stated publicly that both their jobs are safe. How is that good news? Well, we all know what happens after a vote of confidence. (ask Bobby Valentine if you're not sure).

Remember when the die-hardedness of even the most optimistic fans said the Mets are still in it as long as they don't drop 10 games behind in the standings? Looks like it's time to start planning for next season. The Phillies don't lose and the Mets are ice cold - FIRE THEM ALL!
