No hand-wringing for the children ... no tiny violins playing for the AAA relievers who never got a shot ...
"It didn’t have to be some morality statement; these days no one raises an eyebrow when suspended PED users get a second chance, and plenty of teams have cashed in by taking chances on them.
Heck, the Mets wanted to sign Jhonny Peralta and Nelson Cruz a couple of years ago. But it doesn’t mean they would have been hypocritical had they dealt harshly with Mejia, considering the circumstances."
The Daily News spent so much time and effort chasing down ARod that when the story died, the Daily News fired most of its sportswriters.
"But that’s not really the point. The Mets put their misplaced faith in Mejia and they were rewarded with more embarrassment. They should have known better."
That's all you're gonna get, folks: "The Mets shoulda known better."
I don't think anybody is accusing the Mets of hypocrisy. The Daily News, on the other hand ...
