Dear Mr. Amalgam of All The Mainstream Guys.
What the hell was with you this week? Did Jeff Wilpon steal your girlfriend back in high school?
I know it sucks that Jose Reyes left town. Not that it seemed like he wanted to stay. I mean the Mets didn’t call him by 12:01:01 so clearly it was time to head to Miami and greener pastures.
And if you can find a way to make the payroll work with Reyes making $17 on the Mets please let me know, because I sure wasn’t smart enough. I know, I know, the Wilpons are stupid.
David Wright put out a statement. That too was somehow stupid because it took a few days and thus was “prepared” or something. I’m really not sure what was wrong with, “Jose’s a great friend and a great player.” Sure, “This (bleeping) sucks” would have made a great backpage during the week. Sorry David didn’t play along.
It was clear to me that “no cheering in the press box” sure as hell doesn’t extend to “no booing the crap out of the Wilpons on Twitter” (Mr. Katz, co-founder of Sterling Equities and the President Of The Mets continues to not count in name calling.)
You guys really seem to have some pent up frustration that spilled over this week. If you’re all secretly Mets fans then let’s stop this traditional nonsense of no cheering in the press box. The guys in the suits and ties that made that rule are all dead and buried with their typewriters. Go ahead and high-five each other when Duda homers. Who cares if you root?
I know, got it, some of you are “columnists” so you get to add in some personal opinions. Whatever.
Y’all need to take a week off and not think about the Mets. Reyes is gone. They’ll live.
The Wilpons (and Katz) will make money or lose money or break even. Do you really care?
I’m writing this from my basement. It’s mine and not my moms. I am a hack. A complete amateur moron. I don’t know baseball a tenth as well as you guys do, and you guys do a great job. Several of you crushed it this week.
But seriously, chill out. It’s just a bunch of guys younger than us hitting a ball with a stick.
Oh, to my knowledge Jeff Wilpon has never stolen anyone’s girlfriend.
