Return to your caves Met fans
I know what you’re thinking. Baseball is the greatest sport known to man and this asshole is spending his morning writing a post about why one team is the sport’s equivalent of the New York Knicks. As bitter as I may sound (especially being a Yankee fan), you have to understand where I am coming from.
Growing up, all of my close friends were Mets fans. I’ve been to more games at Shea Stadium than I have Yankee Stadium. The constant chatter about the Yankees buying championships would get me so frustrated that I would often have to walk away from conversations out of fear that I would snap on one of these ignorant pricks. Even to this day, all these hopeless Met fans can conjure up is inane smack talk regarding 2004 and more sour grapes about the Yankees buying World Series championships. After being swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks and falling 6.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL East, I have one message for all Mets fans- METS SUCK!!!!
Let’s break down why the Mets suck shall we? It starts at the top. I jokingly wrote a post on facebook the other day that while Yankee fans are mourning the loss of The Boss, Met fans are praying for the Wilpon family plane to go down. As insensitive and morose as that comment was, I received no negative responses and even agreement from a few Met fans. Their ownership is almost as inept as the Knicks front office. I wrote an article on the Mets’ glorious off-season this past New Year’s Eve and after this fantastic showing in the desert, there is no better time for a fan revolt than the present.
Another humongous reason for the Mets’ shortcomings is their average-at-best manager, Jerry Manuel. While he is currently their best available option, he will never bring them a championship. I wrote a post about Manuel needing to get canned back in May, and I still believe it to be true today. While they can’t likely replace him with anyone better, they aren’t going to make the playoffs this season regardless. Get rid of this chump and hire an interim chump from within. They can (but won’t) replace him with a better candidate once the season ends. The team goes out and spends 126 million dollars while neglecting to hire a true leader. Way to go Wilpons.
Now I’m not going to put all this blame on management, because that would just be unfair. These players should be absolutely ashamed of their production. A quick glance at their MLB averages; 22nd in batting average (.255), 23rd in home runs (77), 2oth in RBI (394), 21st in hits (820). This offense is absolutely pathetic. Their pitching has held up their end of the bargain, as they rank 7th in ERA (3.84) and 11th in strikeouts (681). I am actually thoroughly impressed with the performances of Johan Santana and Mike Pelfrey thus far. Regardless of how well you pitch, the 1990′s Atlanta Braves staff couldn’t win with that offense behind them.
It took a lot for me to sit here and type this article, as I am as happy of a sports fan as you will find. The Yankees continuously keep their fans more than happy with free agent signings and trades. The New York Giants are the class of the NFL and never make excuses when they lose. The Mets have simply been stringing their fans along since they got their asses handed to them in the 2000 World Series by some team that slips my mind for the time being. Take in a couple of more games at TaxPayer Field if you have nothing better to do this Summer, as I’m sure the Wilpons can find another Bernie Madoff to donate your hard earned money to. Enjoy watching another team you despise take the World Series trophy home to their city. Eat shit Mets fans!

Ahh .. written as only a true Yankees fan would lol. And in true Mets fan fashion, I wholeheartedly agree with every single word you wrote.
i agree with everything 100%. Especially what drives me crazy the most is when 2004 playoffs are brought up. its all they seem to remember, i guess they just try to block out the 4 playoff appearances and world series title since then.
Shitcan Manuel today. Not because he deserves it (from day 1 this roster was built to be a .500 team and that’s what they’re shaping up to be) but because they’re in striking distance of a mediocre Wild Card race. This seems like the most plausible option to wake this bunch, short of sending Jason Bay to the guillotine.
