The 2000 Mets Mean Nothing

Sure a subway series was cool….but do you really have any emotional attachment to this team?

Now I know you’re saying “Mets Police, you’re crazy. You’re being extra cranky today.”

Well say the Mets have “2000 Mets day” and bring back the following players:

Please welcome back our old friend….Armando Benitez! Mike Hampton! Bobby Jones! The Other Bobby Jones! Mike Bordick! Darryl Hamilton! Rickey Henderson!

Sure there’s a few guys that will get cheers – John “7 batters to get a save” Franco and Mike “Dodgers” Piazza.

Maybe Al Leiter gets a nice hand. Do you really consider Robin Ventura a Met? Did Rey Ordonez endear himself to the franchise?

I think in the scheme of things, this team means nothing.

>Does Willie Pay Any Attention?

>The other day Willie was on WFAN with Mike & the Mad Dog and the were discussing the upcoming weekend series with Arizona. This was Willie’s comment:

“It’s funny becuase we had their number for about a year and a half, leading into the end of last year – actually I think they swept us last time we were there”

Um, Mr. Manager sir – prior to this weekend the Mets – the team you manage – was 15-1 in Phoenix going back to 2005. You would think the manager should know this.

It got worse – Mad Dog tried to point out that no, the Diamondbacks swept the Mets at Shea last year. Willie tried to recover, insisting that Arizona had at least taken 2 of 3 the last time the Mets were there.

Seriously – when your team has dominated another team so decisevely how can you not know this?

>The Next Mets Manager

So by the time the weekend ends and Arizona takes two of three, the Willie Watch will be in full force.

So if not Willie, then who?

Wally Backman had Mets pedigree and apparently was good enough to get the Arizona job before whatever that scandal was.

Jerry Manuel is already in the dugout but…eh.

Keith Hernandez clearly has the smarts but why would he give up a nice gig in the booth and become the next Bud Harrelson.

So that leaves us with the best choice. Lee Mazzilli. Mets fan fave. 1986 ring. Was there for the losing and the winning. BROOKLYN guy (Wilpons, pay attention ding ding ding). Learned how to work the media from the master Joe Torre. Even has managerial experience – and don’t be a fool and comdemn him for what happened in Baltimore.

Nothing would make The Mets Police happier than to see a #16 in the dugout with Mazzilli on the back.
