Mets suck.

While the Yankees were winning 10 out of 11 and seizing first place from his beloved Red Sox, Mike Lupica complained about the Yankees acquisition of Roy Halladay.

Which didn't happen, and probably will not happen.

Now, I realize it's difficult for him to function properly when his loverboy blows a save, but this is all the baseball we get from this guy?

Chiming in on the bizarro Minaya press conference and concluding that Winning is Good? That's all we get in the midst of a baseball season in New York?:

"The Mets, in the person of Jeff Wilpon, did the right thing Tuesday, in a season when just about everything has gone the wrong way, when people have gotten the idea that three bad months and the single worst press conference in the history of the operation have turned them into the Knicks."

A basketball analogy? I want a boxing analogy.


"The Mets are not the Knicks. The Wilpons are not the Dolans. The Mets are not the Knicks in the standings, are not a laughingstock over nearly a decade the way the Knicks are."

So they're not the Knicks.

Seriously, dude, I think you may be schizophrenic.


"Last year Willie Randolph got it when the Mets didn't look nearly as bad as they look right now. Bernazard gets it now when things are much worse. One year it is Minaya's manager. Now his righthand man. The next person to get fired isn't a manager or a lieutenant. That is the way things work in sports, even for somebody as decent as Omar Minaya."

Minaya seems like an incompetent jerk to me.


"They're not winning the World Series this year, so it will be 23 years and counting. Lose Game 7 to the Cardinals. Collapse in September. Collapse again the next September. In fourth place as they move up on August. Nobody can say they're going the right way."

Phillies fans can say they're going the right way.


"There should be no joy in this, for anybody, whether they are Mets fans or not. No joy in the piling on."

I don't know if joy is the right word. More like ecstasy.

Like, the subtle satisfaction one feels when overrated, incompetent loudmouths get what they deserve.


"You don't judge Minaya on this season alone. Or on Bernazard. Or on one press conference. You are allowed to look at where you've been and where you're going. Do that without apology. You're either moving toward a championship or away from one."

Right.

I think we're in agreement, but I'm not sure.

Minaya should be fired, right? Probably should have been fired long ago. Or maybe never hired in the first place.
