I would like to see some more emotion from some of these players and Willie, instead of the standard we will just turn the page and get them tomorrow.

The "Winning every game is the only thing that matters!" mentality has been countered by ownership with, "Good, we don't care if you can't afford the ticket. Make more money. Only profits matter!" Justice. Yeah, maybe it’s a good thing that some of these morons are going to be priced out of going to too many games at Citi Field.

It adds nothing to the experience. In fact it's like watching a kid throw a tantrum. Pretty annoying stuff.

I don't know that this is necessarily their mindset, but the impression you get from them is that it's "just another day at the office." In other words, they've become the YANKEES! :-( I dunno... maybe they should bring greenies back. Put some life into these stiffs! The problem is these guys are TOO professional.

That would show the booers who is boss. I think we should start booing even when the players are playing well. That would show the booers who is boss.

This is not directed at you jimfels, it's just a generalization of the boo birds. The new fans have this strong sense of entitlement. The players don't owe you anything more than their hustle. There are usually other reasons for lack of performance. The players are human, even if they make tons of cash. Heilman isn't going out there and intentionally lobbing pitches over the plate, he's trying to pitch well and struggling. Delgado isn't trying to swing through fastballs, he's just older now and doesnt have the same bat speed. Beltran isn't taking 3rd strikes to piss you off, he's doing it because he has difficulty picking up curveballs, and the league knows this now. I guarantee that this grouping of fans would have boo'ed Piazza while he was on his final stretch with the Mets. By the same regard, Heilman is not payed much in comparison to other bigger named releivers in the league. So I guess the $$ arguement means Matt Wise is free from the boos?

However, over the course of the past 140 games, this team has played virtually .500 baseball. This is not a small sampling. This is not "early". This team's payroll and talent were contructed that for the past 2 years, they have been the favorite to win the NL. Last year, they missed the playoffs and this year, the way they are playing, they will be lucky to get in. That being said, is Willie doing what he was hired to do, to motivate? I don't think so.
