Excuse the Ladies while they vent. We were just over at our favorite place for Mets info, Metsblog, natch, and were reading the latest hot-stove gossip. This evening, while reading, we were reminded of one of the reasons why we began this blog in the first place. The comments section in Metsblog, and in every other Mets -related blog we've ever visited (and there have been many) are populated with testosterone-laden GM wanna-bes who scream at every move (or non-move) the team makes. This occurs all year long, not just during hot-stove. The Ladies would like to tell you guys to SHUT THE FUCK UP. There, we said it. You either love and support your team or you don't. You can cry with them, celebrate with them, criticize them, etc. to your heart's content. Keep in mind, however, that you don't know better than any baseball professional, no matter what your simple, single-brain-cell mind is telling you. Would you tell a surgeon how to do his job? Think you're a better architect than the guy who designed the building down the street? Please. The Ladies would like to remind you of a simple fact that women everywhere know, and that most men don't. Life is not that simple, and things are not always what they seem. Black and white do not apply to real life, and wanting something won't make it happen. So for all of you "let's get Manny, Lowe, Ollie and Nady, just do it, Omar" freaks out there, please go back to living in your simplistic, video-game universe and leave the rest of us alone, 'kay?
We feel better now.
Amen.
ReplyDeleteI second that :)
ReplyDeleteThe Lowe thing - knowing what just came out in his divorce deposition, that he's a complete and total racist - we don't need that shit on our team. That won't fly in NYC, and I don't want it on the Mets.
ReplyDeleteThese guys can't deal with the fact that Omar is Omar and plays it close to the chest. He doesn't brag about it, he just does it. And right now he is waiting because as the weeks go by, the dollar will get weaker and then we'll get who we want at the price we want to pay.
I also think the Wilpon's have lost a lot of $$$$$
ReplyDeleteEW, if it's true about Lowe I'd rather not have him join the Mets...
He sounds like he has too many personal "issues" anyway. Maybe the NY market is not the place for him right now.
