I will root for whoever I want.
If I dislike Oliver Perez then I will dislike Oliver Perez. I don’t care if he was within his rights to refuse the assignment. I am within my rights to personally respect him less.
I think Castillo’s reasons for not going to Walter Reed were weak. Show up. Stand at the back of the room if you feel squeamish (as I often do at funerals). Just go on the trip. If you get that uncomfortable step out and go to the men’s room and take your time. That’s my personal opinion and I won’t be told it’s invalid.
I’m thinking Beltran could have rescheduled his meeting. I tried to look up if his foundation is located in Washington but couldn’t find an address. Perhaps someone he needed to meet with was in town. Maybe this meeting was all over the phone and he could have pulled it up an hour or used this new fangled cellular technology while on the bus. Maybe the Mets have a no-cell rule on the bus. I don’t know, but I’m still allowed to be disappointed he didn’t go.
I’m not so mad at Beltran because of performance. I am mad at Castillo and definitely Perez for performance. Wright’s up and downs don’t bother me. I’m not as gonzo over Ike as other fans are.
I thought the Mets version of Pedro was terribly overrated. Can’t stand Tom Glavine. I love Santana. I love all five 1986 starters. I have little fondness for the 2000 team.
I’m not nuts about Piazza nor Franco. I liked Cora more than you did.
I hated Valentine as manager but kinda dug Jerry even though it’s time to move on. Loved Davey from minute one, hated Joe Torre from minute one.
My favorite player of all time hit .264 in two stints with the Mets and somehow got a ring. I just like him.
My favorite player on the Mets right now has 11 career wins.
I’m reading newspapers/blogs/tweets and being told how I’m supposed to feel about WalterReedGate.
I’ll feel how I want. Right now I feel annoyed.
You can disagree with some or all of everything I wrote. I doubt we agree on everything, but we do agree we love the team.
My dream version of the team wears pinstriped jerseys and all 25 players (even the starting pitcher) visit Walter Reed. Maybe I don’t know anything about starting pitcher preparation Maybe your version is Luis Castillo in a black jersey. Maybe the Mets should have given A-Rod his 24+1 deal and the A-Rod Store way back when.
Doesn’t matter. It’s my feelings and I’m the one who pays for my tickets.
