    Re: I am Going To Put Some Sorry-*** Mets Fans On Blast

    If you want to hear insane sports talk radio you should listen to the FAN here in Toronto during hockey season. We've got lunatics who call in about the Leafs damn well near every single day.

    Hell i've heard people talk about the Mats Sundin "will he stay or will he go" trade deadline stuff just last week!

    Anywho, I do think the slip n' slide tarp episode shows that there's a lot of problems within the Mets clubhouse not because Willie should be fired (tho I think the Wilpons and Minaya are letting him dangle on the thread a bit too long) but because there is serious dissension and tension within that clubhouse.

    You don't see teams that are underachieving running out and playing in the rain. Besides when was the last time you saw a veteran team have players running out into the rain like that? If Mets fans think that way about their players then Lord knows what they would've thought of the '93 Jays who displayed very little outward emotion.

      Crap like this is the reason I never ever listen to sports talk radio. I've listened to enough to realize that about half of the people that call in have NOOOOO idea what they are talking about. It happens with every sport in every city.

        the met situation is riduclous this is how i feel about the manager thing and why he's getting so much heat, I think it's either race or cause he used to be a yankee.

          Or cause the Mets are underachieving? I don't think you can put the blame on Willie at all but it is true that Mets have not met expectations; whether the expectations were too high and unrealistic is a different issue.

            hold on..just when I THOUGHT I followed you, I realize something is amiss...

            Are you connecting the slip/slide tarp thing to the Mets clubhouse? I hope you're not going there also.....

                Nah i'm just saying there's tons of reasons why a team wouldn't go out and play in the rain. I just listed the reasons that are popular right now.

                  I think you misunderstood the thread....the game was called before the first pitch was thrown...the Rangers antics were done just before the PA announcers annouced the cancellation to the crowd at Shea...at hnad was nary a thought about the Mets not wanting to play in the rain....

                    WHOA..... You couldn't be more wrong. How do you connect a team choosing to stay dry to showing that there's dissension in the clubhouse? Ed Randall, who follows the Mets for WFAN, says from what he sees, the clubhouse is normal, not a boiling cauldron like everyone seems to want to believe. It's simply a team that's not winning as much as we thought they would. Even if they hated each other, big deal; the Yanks and A's teams of the 70s were notorious for fighting each other. I'd take their success over what I'm dealing with right now.

                    It's not the Wilpons AND Minaya making this call; if anyone wants him gone, it's the Wilpons... Omar doesn't really want to let Willie go, but since he answers to the Wilpons, he will have to do their bidding... Willie should be commended for the class he's handled this mess with. The ownership should crap or get off the pot; either the man is here, or he isn't, and stop these stupid bi-weekly Willie Watch sagas.

                        Callers Who KEEP Calling About The Mets Bringing Up Fernando Martinez

                        If I hear another jackass ask why the Mets haven't thought about bringing up Fernando Martinez, I'm gonna scream...lol

                        Do these idiots ever listen to the very station they whine and complain on?

                        For the record, Fernando Martinez is INJURED and has missed significant time in AA. At the rate he's been going, he won't get a look till August or September.

                        Every single day two or three call and ask this same stupid question. The biggest idiots are the hosts...none of whom have the sense to stop the callers from the jump...by telling them they are not taking calls on Fernando Martinez.

                        Repetition and ignorant callers does not make good radio listening

                          The HATERS Are Upset Because Of Robinson Cancel

                          Folks....you can't make this stuff up. During game two of Sunday's doubleheader...in the 6th, with runners on and Pedro's spot in the batting order due up, Randolph went to the ONLY right-handed bat he had in the lineup: Robinson Cancel. Cancel drove in two runs to tie the game with an RBI hit to center.

                          After the game and as recently as 9:30PM Sunday, there were callers who were (get ready) angry at Randolph for pinch-hitting for Martinez...even though the move paid off as the Mets went ahead in that same inning. The callers were upset and actually childed Randolph for using a player whose last major league hit was about 9 years ago...

                          I won't say anymore, but I really want people across this country to see how stupid, how ignorant and how biased many callers are....

                              First, I like Willie and while he has made some questionable calls I still think he's a pretty good manager. As for my comments connecting staying dry with dissension, well that may have been too strong a connection to make but from everything i've seen and read most of the Mets players don't feel passionate about Willie one way or the other. In fact, i've read and seen quotes where the players are like "let's get this ordeal over with".

                              Let's put it this way, it's probably not a loose locker room right now. I think you can at least agree with that statement? Of course I don't live in NY so i'm not getting all the nuances of it but I do have access to SNY (don't ask how ) and a lot of the people on that network seem to be clamoring for some sort of change one way or another. Are they right in going after Willie the way they are? Probably not, but when you're in a market like NYC those kinda things come with the territory.

                              Basically what's going on NYC right now is the Blue Jays situation but with 10x more intensity.

                                Seriously I think that pinch hitting for Pedro was right in that situation. He's basically a 6 inning pitcher these days and that was a good time to pull him and get a better bat in the lineup at that time.

                                It seems to me that Mets fans (the crazy ones) are letting their frustrations get to their heads. I thought NY had a good baseball fanbase?
