Thread: Lets Go Mets

Gagne is a free agent. Leave it up to Omar Minaya to relinquish two draft picks to have Eric Gagne blow games in a middle relief role.

Gagne is not Dominican. Omar Minaya would not be interested.

He did that already.

That's obvouis, it's biting him in the ass now.

This.

The historical context must be especially sweet in the City of Brotherly Love. In 1964, Gene Mauch's Phillies blew a 6-1/2-game lead with 12 games left to play. Now they are the beneficiaries of a similar collapse

Tom Glavine allows seven runs in just 1/3 of an inning. Not the outing anyone expected.

Unreal, he is supposed to be a big game picture.

Damn.

Feeling frustrated, humiliated and angry, Mets fans are in need of a psychologist's couch to get over a historic mental meltdown.
After a year of being supremely confident in their team's World Series chances, the Amazin' faithful suddenly find themselves edged out of the playoffs.
"It's a disaster," said Dr. Frederic Kass, a psychiatrist at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, who was at Shea Stadium yesterday to witness the Mets' season-ending defeat.
"I guess there's a degree of being stunned as opposed to chronic demoralization," Kass said.
Kass said the worst thing Mets fans can do is allow the team's debacle to color their hopes for next season.
"Once you've had a huge collapse, what's going to happen when the team does come back?" Kass said. "After you've gone through this, it could get in the back of your mind that it will happen again."
Kass predicts that once the Mets begin making off-season trades, the sour taste will begin to fade.
"By the time spring training opens, their hopes will be revived," said Kass, who recommends fans think of positive things like the team's young, talented roster and pitcher Pedro Martinez's comeback from injuries.
Dr. Judy Kuriansky, a New York clinical psychologist and Columbia University professor, said a big mistake would be for fans to exaggerate the team's failure.
"If their team's losing, they feel like a loser themselves and it can spin them into all kinds of emotional distress," said Kuriansky, author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to a Healthy Relationship."
"It's important to separate yourself from the team's losing, to not think that you've lost in your own life," she said.
Pop psychologist Dr. Joyce Brothers said male Mets fans are likely to suffer a decrease in testosterone.
"A lot of what would have been some pretty wonderful sex went by the board," Brothers said.
"I think it's very hard to give up a gift that you had put in your pocket already," Brothers added. "There's a certain amount of humiliation going on, too."
She said it's crucial for fans not to do things that compound their troubles.
"Don't go out and torch cars like they do in some cities," she said.

I honestly wonder which is worse: That error, or the Mets collapsing over a two week period. It's kind of a toss up, I guess.

But Red Sox fans have the 2004 WS to fall back on. Mets fans have to live with this pain and embarrassment until something good happens.

They played like dogs, they don't deserve a playoff spot the way they played.

They need to get rid of their pitching coach, the so called guru. It's because of him Kazmir is gone.
El Duque is too old to rely on.
Pedro is breaking down.
Alou old.
Get rid of the card playing Rickey Henderson.
Let Randolph bring in his own people.

This is not so bad, you have to remember we had bad teams all the time.
The '62 Mets were awful but lovable, the 70's Mets were plain awful.
The 80's were a joy to watch till they got Juan Samuel, Coleman, Bonilla ...

Let Green go.
Revamp the whole pitching staff.
Delgado must go.
