metspolice are people really upset that Bobby O is no longer with SNY or are you just entertaining yourself this morning?
The7Line metspolice I’m not upset. //hides
The7Line metspolice yeah, they actually are. One of the only people who spoke their mind about the team. Probably real reason he’s gone…
The7Line metspolice Mets are cheap and he spoke his mind.
metspolice cash money was spent on the scoreboard instead
The7Line I am just entertaining myself
The7Line metspolice I’m not *upset* but he knew what he was talking about and offered a good perspective. Unique at least.
metspolice The7Line when a team/org has such a bad rep every little thing gets magnified on Twitter. 95 W team this is a side note
jazzmasters The7Line metspolice Ojeda’s firing great example of the uncertainty of a post kevinburkhardt world. Chaos reigns
jazzmasters The7Line metspolice IF GKR are calling the games I couldn’t care less who does pre and post game! Gotta find a new KB tho
metspolice ojeda was nothing special
metspolice he had the best hair piece in the business
mytoemytoe The7Line metspolice Not a huge KB fan. I mean he’s totally fine, but i don’t care he’s leaving. Usher in a new era! GKR forev.
mytoemytoe The7Line metspolice Yes, i meant i want Usher to be the new KB.
jazzmasters I dunno, he just ran that Where’s Waldo game to perfection and always got good answers from the players
jazzmasters also the best new KB would be Seinfeld U0001f602
mytoemytoe Actually, Kramer.
turnt_cold The7Line metspolice just another point of the Wilpons trying to bury 86 team..
The7Line metspolice just the normal people who blow up the smallest stories
bulinsky5 The7Line metspolice you guys don’t like Ojeda?
NewYorkMehts The7Line metspolice never said that. He was great. Just isn’t a big deal to me he’s gone
bulinsky5 The7Line metspolice Just hilarious a profitable org like SNY cant give someone a raise after 6 years.
NewYorkMehts The7Line metspolice do we know for sure that’s what happened? Could just be going in a different direction
bulinsky5 The7Line metspolice I hope so, I thought I just saw a headline saying that though.
NewYorkMehts The7Line metspolice yeah we probably won’t know the truth for a while. I’m sure Ojeda will end up telling the real story
The7Line metspolice real mets fans r upset bc this is another move based on $. Wilpons have 45-55 mil due in 15. 900 total. #FreeMetsFans
Bobby O is very bright and a really good guy. Sometimes, he can be difficult to digest because he crams too much into his spots. It would help if he took a breath between sentences and slowed his pace a little. At first, I thought he was way too amped up, but his personality began to emerge within the last year or so.
