Once again it is Mestivus, and time for the annual airing of grievances. We will start with the big one and then the rest are in no particular order.
The horrible Javy Baez for coming to town for 5 minutes and BOOING THE FANS. Unforgivable and I am glad he’s gone.
My grievance also includes ALL the 2021 Mets who were complicit in their silence. It would not have been hard to say “My teammate was wrong.” Weirdly the only person who seems to have done this was Lindor, but he was one of the core boo-ers.
Steve Cohen. Look you can bring in Scherzer, you can bring in Buck…but you also brought back black uniforms and set my cause back a decade. Just win the World Series while nicely dressed and I will go away. Maybe in 2023?
Jacob deGrom and the people who enabled Jacob deGrom. DON’T THROW 100 IN MARCH. I loudly first-guessed this and whaddaya know, I was right. Then they let him throw 100 again against 19 year olds in a practice game. Everyone involved with that should be fired if they haven’t been already.
Where to begin? He has infected a bunch of mistaken millennials with vulgarity. But I think the real sin is acting like his Donnie Whatever stunt had nothing to do with Chili Davis being fired. What, they fired the hitting coach? I am so sad, I am crying. Please.
Waye Randazzo. NYC’s second best baseball announcer is frustrating because he’s SO GOOD at the baseball announcing but then will have bad opinions on black uniforms and openers and WAR and all the stuff I hate. Talk some sense into him Howie.
Keith Hernandez for his book recommendations.
Feel free to air your grievances on the Mets Police Facebook Page!
