Read: Would the Mets Pursue Torre
In a recent column for FOXSports.com, Ken Rosenthal asks, “If the Yankees make Joe Torre an offer that he deems unacceptable…would the Mets jump in and pursue Torre?”
Rosenthal continues by writing, “While hiring Torre would be an awful thing to do to Randolph, it would be a seminal moment for the Mets in their quest to recapture New York from the Yankees.”
…ugh, sure, seminal is one way to put it…yes, torre was part of the Mets franchise for five seasons, but, come on…that’s not recapturing new york, that’s capturing the enemy and will only further solidify the idea 
that the Mets are second fiddle to the Yankees…frankly, as a Mets fan, i’d be embarrassed…especially if one of Jorge Posada or Mariano Rivera followed him across the river…
…i’m all for winning, but the organization must always remember that fans want to identify with the team, that’s part of the dynamic that keeps us loyal, whether we realize it or not…for some of us, part of our identity is very much tied to hating the Yankees…and the business, public-relations side of the Mets should not forget that…
…i understand that rosenthal is just posing a hypothetical…but i don’t even like thinking about this as a way to kill time…please, let’s never discuss this again…
