Don't you know who I am.


The Mets really suck.


They are basically a laughingstock and a disgrace to the game. Not because they choked the last couple of years. Any team can choke it up. The Yankees had one of the memorable choke jobs of all time against the Red Sox. But everything the Mets do is bush league.


They opened up their new Stadium at the same time as the Yankees. And the Mets made their new Citifield a monument to the glory and the history of a baseball team. The Brooklyn Dodgers. Not the Mets. You almost couldn't tell what freakin team played there. What a bunch of maroons.


Now there is a big controversy over this front office guy Tony Bernazard who is a bit of a loose cannon. There have been a steady drumbeat of accusations against this guy as everyone who hates him has been going to the press to spill the beans. Now Tony is one of these "wise Latino" guys who puts everything on a racial basis. Carlos Delgado said that Tony tried to recruit him to the Mets by telling him the Latin guys had to stick together. When Omar Minaya came in as the general manager, Tony was his hachetman. They dumped a lot of the white and black players and really concentrated on bringing Latin guys to team. Now don't get me wrong, every team has a strong latin contingent because those are the guys who play baseball. White guys concentrate on pitching and black guys have given up on the game in favor of football and basketball. So every team has what can seem like a Latin majority. It just got to be such an issue that it was all over the paper and the racist Mets fans were calling up sports radio to complain.

The joke was that METS stood for: My Entire Team's Spanish. So that was the background of the bullshit that has been going around.


Now besides being a racist Tony was your garden variety asshole. There was a big story that he ripped off his shirt like the incredible Hulk and challenged some minor leaguers to a fight. Now I don't see what the big deal about that was. I mean if when Billy Martin was managing the Yankees we had a name for that: it was called Tuesday. But this country has become such a bunch of pussies that you can't challenge a bunch of pussies to work or you will kick their ass. What is this country coming too? So all your liberal pussies are crying and saying the guy has to be punished and he is creating a hostile work environment and all this crap. The Mets brass didn't have the balls to tell them to fuck off but started an investigation. Then they started to Sarah Palin the guy.


Every asshole who ever had a beef with this jamoke came out of the word work. There was a clubhouse attendant who told a front page story Sunday how Bernazard walked into a minor league clubhouse and when the attendant asked for identification he refused to answer. I guess he though he was a Harvard professor or something. So the guy sees he has this big key ring and assumes he is the bus driver and he asks him "Hey are you the bus driver." And old Tony goes batshit insane "Why just because I am Latino I have to be the bus driver. DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"


Now the proper response to that is "You're the guy who is gonna get a kick in the balls if you don't stop screaming like an asshole." But it was just another thing for the pussies in the media to use to knock the guy out of a job. I mean if this is one of your guys you just have to tell the pussies in the press to fuck off. You don't throw one of your boys to the wolves. Or under the bus. Not if you want anybody to respect you. (I'm looking at you Barry).


Now the general manager just had a press conference to fire Tough Tony. But he stepped in the shit. He said he discounted the story because they came from a reporter in Daily News who had been lobbing for a job with the team. So the shit hit the fan. The reporters went crazy saying you are impugning the guys integrity and all this shit. You got to be kidding me. The only thing worse than a journalist is a lawyer. I remember when Dick Young the most powerful sportswriter in America got his son-in-law a job with a ball team and used his column to help the kid get a head in the company. Of course that was the Mets under M Donald Grant so what else is new.


The Mets don't have a clue. The idiots who hate the Yankees love to make fun of the Steinbrenners and what George used to do. Well he has a bushel full of championships to show for it. And what do your Metsies have. Uh gatz.


All in all it is a pretty good time to be a Yankee fan.

I was a Mets fan long ago. I honestly don't follow any sports now. Too many other things to focus on. I was a Bills fan, too. And Syracuse. Glutton for punishment.

I've always known the Mets suck...I still rooted for them, though.

So what you're trying to say is --

that there is more than one Putz on the Mets?

Like we didn't already know.

Ha. The Mets. They're just the NY Giants with thin bats and teensy balls.

Speaking of the Giants, has Manning been in for his pre-season dress fitting yet?

I remember when Dick Young had a column named "Young Ideas."

They weren't.

Hey Michael H riding those rough roads through Canada must have shaken some brain cells loose. The only thing Eli is doing right now is sitting back sipping a capirina and looking at a tape of how he beat the Packers in the Championship game.

Did I tell you lately that the Giants are going to win the Superbowl.

Time to tear down and rebuild huh? That has been obvious to me as a baseball fan. That team just never seems to play with heart.

They get the big bucks free agent CF and the super-talented SS but they seem to go thru the motions. They don't do the little things that make a team better if you know what I mean.

Of course, I guess the owner is a bit pre-occupied after he lost $700 Million to Bernie Madoff hahahah.

They are all Yankees, as far as I am concerned.
