What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
>Joe Girardi will be back, and George must be dead. Hank said:
He’s done everything he could. That’s the bottom line
There you have it. The bottom line is doing everything you can. Not winning. Just try hard.
Enjoy fourth place. Enjoy 9 more years of A-Rod the winner. Enjoy the ghosts staying on the south side of 161st.

Michael Kay, who has no problem with the Evil Money Grubbing Football Giants From New Jersey and their PSL plan, did make a great point the other day about MLB.
MLB blew it.
The first opponent at Yankee Stadium One was the Boston Red Sox.
Now as Yankee Stadium II closes, the Yankees end their season on the road with Boston.
MLB should have played this week’s series AT Boston and had the NYY’s finish at home vs. the Red Sox.
What Kay didn’t factor in is that the Mets schedule would have needed to be tinkered with too – you don’t want both stadiums closing at the same time (although ESPN has a way of solving that) – but it’s nothing insurmountable.
He probably also chose to ignore that by doing it this way guarantees a sellout against Boston on a Thursday afternoon, plus guarantees a sellout against a lesser Orioles team.
Bases loaded, Yankees trail 7-3 with the season on the line, one out and A-Rod steps to the plate.
A weak ground ball to short, steps on second for one, over to first. Double play. Side retired.
And that’s why you will never be loved in NYC, A-Rod.
(by the way is this post in violation of the “accounts, descriptions…” silly disclaimer that they announce? Can I not mention that A-Rod grounded into a DP?)
In other mid-game news, that was vintage “Four Inning Pedro” tonight. Sure he went 5, but he was gassed in the 5th, hence the nickname. They spotted you seven, could you not wear out the shaky bullpen please.
Yankee fans need to stop looking up at the Rays and Boston. You are starting Carl Pavano tomorrow. It’s over. Jeter got old, Torre left town and you’re moving across the street.
You need to look over your shoulder. Yeah, that’s Toronto. How did they get there?
The BJ’s are one game behind you.
Say the NYYs finish FOURTH. Is Joe Girardi coming back? George might be in bad shape but he ain’t dead.
Girardi’s going to finish fourth (with George reading the Tampa Whateverpaper celbrating the Rays division title) and Girardi’s going to return? Is this really the Yankees?
Girardi gets to finish fourth while the Mets go to the playoffs? No way.
So if not Girardi then who. One name that often comes up is Bobby Valentine. Former Mets manager. Great choice if you enjoy finishing second.
Mattingly has a job with Joe Torre.
What ex-big league manager is out there who has experience managing in NYC and is a former Yankee captain. That’s right, Willie.
Good idea? No way. Just look at the 2007 and 2008 Mets.
Possible? Oh yeah. I can picture the back page of the Post now.
