Hmmm – ever since the big bloggers call, the A-list of Mets bloggers has been suspiciously “cool, fine, mellow” with whatever crapola comes down the pike. Way too much “I trust Sandy” chanting as if Aldersonism is new religion. C’mon, this is a pretty big pile o’ crap for Mets fans to handle here.
As osh41 correctly notes, this guy starts with excess baggage – it’s a poor Wilpon-dominated choice (Collins is Sandy Koufax’s guy and Fred does what Sandy says). Alderson is already under the Wilpon thumb. Another disaster for the team we can’t help but root for…
Interesting comment. I can assure you there is no blogspiracy and we don’t collaborate on storylines. Whatever you are reading is whatever each individual blogger feels.
For me, I see no reason to be negative today. I need to hope. I need to trust. God forbid we’re entering another cycle of disaster. This has to be the beginning of the good times. It just has to.
As for Osh41’s comments about baggage….yeah, the losing-the-clubhouse stuff worries me. That’s what all the Colactus joke is about, and I wrote about my fears about two weeks ago.
The deal is done. Terry Collins is the manager. I wish him tremendous success as the Mets begin the best decade the franchise ever has had.
