The Mets Are Fucking BAD

That’s as close as I’m going to get to a Michael Jackson reference.

22 innings without a run. Three entire games without an extra-base hit. Holy fucking shit, you have to be kidding me. David Wright couldn’t hit me right now, and forget the rest of the team. Luis Castillo. Daniel Murphy. Nick Evans. Omir Santos. I already had a meltdown, but I feel like at the end of this week the Mets will be 7.5 games back and I’ll be due for another. If Reyes and Beltran don’t come back immediately after the All-Star Break, it’s only going to get worse and worse. It’s almost to the point where the Mets should SELL, not buy. The season is lost, why bother trying to get an Aubrey Huff? Who are we going to trade anyhow? The Mets farm system is a joke.

Trade Sheffield to someone who wants a DH rental. Trade Livan Hernandez while his value is still above zero. I’m not even sure if it’s still above zero. Fuck, just trade Sheffield. Sure, giving up on this year is wasting yet another year of the core’s prime, but what’s another year? The only reason the Mets still appear to be in it is due to the NL East being a black hole. No way they beat the Dodgers or Giants in a short series. Beltran is here for two more years. Wright and Reyes are locked up and still young. Santana is only 30. That’s the core. Delgado was never the core. Fuck him. He can sit on his broken hip for the rest of the season for all I care.

Not that I’m averse to trading Reyes. He’s always been the one I could part with. It all depends on the offer. I think the Mets would need young, major-league-ready talent in return. They need to concentrate on winning in 2010 and 2011, so they can’t just take a whole bunch of unproven prospects in return. Either that, or trade him for Halladay, and maybe even Alex Rios too. You’re going to charge ticket prices almost as high as the Yankees — spend like them. At this point, I’m shocked that anyone is still going to the games. I’m done, unless my buddy who has tickets in the very last row of Citi Field has an extra ticket to a Santana-pitched game.

The Nationals are the only team keeping the Mets from last place. Wow.
