You know what the Mets need?
Excitement.
The manager is telling us September is going to mean something.
No it isn’t.
September is going to be another month in another year of nothing. Someday all this great young pitching will arrive in the form of Montero and deGrom and Harvey. We’re oh for three this morning on that.
We all know Tulowitzki isn’t coming here.
We all knew this team wasn’t going to make the playoffs.
What exactly are the Mets selling? That some day Matt Harvey will come back and be awesome? Bartolo Colon is gonna win 16 games, how much more awesome can Harvey be?
Here’s an easy fix. Wallyball.
You can sell Wallyball. There’s a generation from 1986 that will be excited about Wallyball. There is a younger generation who likes the idea of Wallyball.
Give Wally the 40 games. If he’s an out of control douchebag asshole you don’t have to bring him back.
We don’t want to listen to Terry nonsense any more. This product is boring.
Give Wally 40 games the way Bobby V once mopped up for Dallas Green. What’s the worst that happens, Wally curses on TV? The Mets finish 4th?
