The New York Post killed the Mets…
Steve Cohen’s highest-paid and minimum earners alike have disappointed and put this team — on pace to win 73 games for the season following Monday’s 2-1 loss to the Brewers — in position to displace the 1992 “Worst Team Money Could Buy” Mets as the flashiest flop in franchise history. It’s a team sitting eight games below .500, with the National League’s fourth-worst record. (via NY Post)
Interestingly the article didn’t throw Buck Showalter under the bus (although the did link to their podcast about firing Buck) so we don’t have to upgrade to a Showalter Watch Watch just yet.
About that….who are you replacing Buck with? Usually you replace the veteran manager with the young manager who “understands the modern ballplayer” and THAT usually coincides with a rebuild.
If you like that idea, let me remind you Mickey Hodges Callaway (the man who Howie Rose compared to Gil Hodges, in a career low point for Howie)
Anyway, here are my thoughts on Buck…
