Was talking with a friend today, and as we usually do we drifted back to 1986. From my perspective in the uppers I felt like they actually cared when they lost a game, whether it was in ’86 or ’85 or even ’87.
I felt there were guys like Keith Hernandez who would actually get mad when they lost.
I don’t get that vibe from this team. I want to. I like the comments that came out from Wright, Reyes and Santana…but who is the guy that will be mad when the Mets drop two of three to the Nationals?
To me, the person has to have some combination of tenure and resume. It can’t be a rookie, and it can’t be someone who never plays.
I’m not in the clubhouse so I may have no idea what I’m talking about. Does this team have such a guy? Is one of the core one of that type of guy?
