Complete meltdown in Philly

by Steve

I think its time to look for a new manager in Flushing NY. Willie Randolph completely embarrassed himself and the New York Mets franchise this week in Philadelphia getting swept in a 4 game series against the Phillies, who before this series were down 6 games and seemingly left for dead. The lead is now two, and the Mets confidence is, if not completely shattered, then severely rattled.

Giving roles to players like Shaun Green who have absolutely nothing left to give, denying chances for young players to take larger roles, ie Lastings Milledge, Randolph is out of his mind. Awful decision to let Green hit yesterday, then I see the dumbest play of all time, when Marlon Anderson is called for runner interference when it was clear to everyone but him that a double play wasn't going to be turned. Christ what the fuck was that play?!?!

6 outs for Billy Wagner in the city that hates him more than life itself? Where he is haunted from leaving on such bad terms? 6 outs for the first time since 1999? Are you serious Randolph?

Where was Jose Reyes this series? Holy shit 2 for 15 Jose? .295 on the year? I'm starting to think he is the 3rd best short stop in the NL East and that isn't a stretch at all. In fact it probably is a fact. J-Ro ? Han-ram? Pick it up Reyes, Wright has.


Onto the Red Sox, where the Yankees seemingly got every call and every borderline pitch. They didn't really get blown out in the 3 game set, but getting swept? This line up is an embarrassment, if they don't get the pitching it is going to be an ugly September and October.

Talk about poor general managing, JD Drew ? JD fucking Drew?? who's call was it to sign that bum? Coveli Crisp is awful, Alex Cora is a AAA player, Julio Lugo? The same Lugo that wasn't playing for the Dodgers in the playoffs? Wow Theo Epstein has fallen quickly since 2004, cause this team can flat out not hit with out Manny Ramirez, and he's 35. Their answer was ..Eric Hinskey? ?!?!

The past 4 days and seven games has been the worst in the history of my baseball viewership since a peak of October 2004 it has gone down hill and today hopefully was the valley to the 2004 ALCS peak. 0-7 ? that is bad

PS
Fuck that fat piece of shit Joba 'the buffet' Chamberlein. Who is this ass hole from Nebraska, he should go back to tippin' cows and eating at the all you can eat buffet instead of throwing twice at dude's domes with a 96 mph heater. Apparently in corn husking country they don't teach the rules of the game, you know, not trying end or possible murder a player with back to back pitches. The classy Yankee franchise can suck my dick with quit perpetually spewing that PR bullshit. They are as grimy if not grimier than any team in baseball.
