After everything that went down last year I don't think it's too much to expect these guys to play with some passion. I mean get angry and throw something when you are struggling or at least seem angry. They all--led by Willie--have this BS company line of 'well we will just turn the page and try again tomorrow' and 'no its early we still have time there's no urgency.' That was the same crap they were spouting last September when everyone could see that they were just going through the motions. At times so far this year it has looked as if they are going through the motions and that they just expect to get 'W' by throwing their hats onto the field. Let's remember Delgado has been pretty terrible--with flashes of greatness--for the last year. I don't think it's too much to expect that after a year of pulling balls into the shift for an inning ending DP that Delgado, may oh no god forbid, make some adjustments. I mean jezuz you are a professional athlete and it hasn't been working for over a year, so how about you try something new.

He deserved one, but the fans certainly didn't. Only when someone-- albeit a proven capable player-- does well do we as fans support him. And that's just wrong.

It angered me when fans booed Santana after giving up three dingers and Delgado would have been nuts to come out given the way he has been treated. I'm not condoning booing of our own but a am wondering why it has gotten worse. I think we (paying customers) are being treated poorly. I am on record as having bought over 650 tickets over the last 24 seasons (plus a significant number of other games), I pay ou of my own pocket and can't take a tax deduction like people with businesses and yet the Mets (thus far) have given me a big F**K YOU about plans for next year. Remember, the people in the ballpark are customers, not just fans, and there is a difference. I don't condone wholesale booing but I am trying to figure out why it happens.

I am a plan holder as well , have been 7 pack holder for the past 8 years and I don't think I am getting into City Field next year. Guess what ? I don't boo this team. Never had , never will and I was very upset the way the season ended in 07. Booing will not help his team hit , fild or pitch better.

I hope the players don't think of the fans as one big unanimous voice. If you have 40,000 people in the stands, and 6 or 7,000 of them are booing, it's going to sound like a big BOO from the whole crowd. As you say, you've seen this happen at a game, and so have I. The rest of us are quietly rooting for our guy (in this case, Delgado) to figure it out, because we know that we're going to need him to be productive in the middle of the lineup.
