You’ll have to ask the baseball God’s that question … the same ones that oversaw the Yankees winning 26 times.

exactly, and i think a lot has to come down on Omar, who had cordero and rauch in his grasp at the deadline but was too cocky to pull the trigger on humber and gomez… he was cocky with delgado round one, cocky with zito, he has been the cockiest of all and I think a lot of this (not all by any stretch) falls on his shoulders if they blow it and then decide to blow the team up.

Yea I’m angry at the Shea fans right now. I don’t care how worried and nervous fans may be at the game at the heels of this horrendous collapse. They MUST support this team. Cheer loudly and all game…or just don’t come to the stadium. Our team needs our support and if we can’t show them why NY is the best town to play in, then wtf are we doing at the game?

I am completely aware of the history of the Mets, the use of the colors, the NY logo, etc.

But I also know that it has been 50 years since those teams left. There are now several generations of Mets fans and only one generation of fans who remember when the Dodgers and Giants when they were in NYC. We are proud of our Mets.

Plus you pointed to another reason why I am so opposed to Citi Field being nothing but an ode to the Brooklyn Dodgers. Where is the equal billing for the NY Giants? Where are the design elements that hearken back to the Polo Grounds?

I am not saying that it is a bad idea to build the stadium similar in style to Ebbets Field. But by the time 2009 rolls around, the Mets will be around for nearly 50 years and from the sound of things, there isn’t going to be too many features at Cit Field celebrating METS history.

I haven’t heard anything about a statue of Tom Seaver or Gil Hodges.
How cool would a statue be of Jesse Orosco in that famous pose of him celebrating on the mound with both arms in the air (right before the entire dugout is about to gang tackle him) in 1986?

This organization doesn’t even find it necessary to have Keith Hernandez’s #17 retired. He deserves it.

I am tired of this organization acting like it is second class.
