I kid you not he just said that
I’m very happy they lost. I want this blown up and meaningless wins don’t help.
That said…..Maine is a dog. He’ll never be more than a #3 at best if he can’t get his sh*t together.
He’s going to be a building block left here after they blow this sh*t up. And he’s GOT to step up and learn economy of pitches
It has gone beyond pathetic. They are a bad ballclub. We’re seeing the same play as in last years meltdown.
alou said his calf ws stiff…
i hope he retires tonight…
when is a reporter goign to ask a real question like:
WY DO YOU SUCK AS A MANAGER YOU PIECE OF SHT?
hahahahahahha
Yeah but don’t forget, he said he saw some positive signs!
More softball post game questions for Willie…
If they were any softer Kevin Buhrkhart could join the pen.
burkhart is a dip sht…
could you ask anymore pssyquestions there kev? How about…
What does it feel like to be the laughing stock of professional baseball?
Must be a test of our devotion. Can’t take too much more.
No Team here, plain and simple!
next time im in NYC, im waiting for the game to end, going to the SNY studio, and standing behind these jackazzes with a sign that says
MY
ENTIRE
TEAM
SUCKS
and the back will say
Fck the wilpons!!!!!
I hear what you are saying but what do you want Willie to say the truth: My team sucks, this is more Omar’s fault than mine, stick a fork in us we are done, he can’t say that.
Willie looked like a man on death row tonight. It’s sad. It really is.
SAD FOR US!!!
And the stankees will now rise to the top, make the wildcard, and we will be OUT of the playoffs yet again…
this is totally unacceptable
I’m waiting for someone to pull a circa-1970s NY Giants stunt and fly a plane over Shea with a banner reading, “2 Seasons of Mediocre Baseball - We’ve Had Enough”
at least we found out that our lefties can hold a tarp down..
i wouldve used heilman for that though..not wagner..
Yea Boo do that, you better do it soon because no one wil be watching Mets games anymore. I’m sure by the weekend their season will be over. I’m thinking 1-5 homestand maybe 2-6, they are getting swept by the DBacks, poor Santana will give up 2 runs again and probably lose, what a disgrace.
Have to unsubscibe to Mets.com. After every game I get an email Alert with the post game recap. Adding insult to injury.
wiilies ass should have been fired last year….we needed a fresh start without that dumb ass look ofhis in the dugout
After watching Sanchez pitch, I wish they put the tarp over him. My only hope is the Spankees don’t make the playoffs, they are not the Spanks of old, there is a pretty good shot that they won’t. If this continues, you won’t even be able to go to the Subway series because Shea is going to be loaded with more Spanks fans than usual.
I feel like I’ve been transported back to last Sept. Same questions, same answers, same blank stares, same apathy.
Unbelievable. Nothing, and I mean nothing has absolutely changed. Does everyone get that sinking feeling from last Sept. What’s changed, honestly.
fire that f–k and u will c change
That’s what we get when we hire a Life-Time Yankee to manage our team.
Give the town back to the Yankees man, I just don’t care anymore. We have no team.
I think this is all part of George Steinbrenner’s evil master plan to have Willie manage the Mets into Oblivion!
100 percent right Nady it does feel like last year. The same team is back except for adding a couple of players like Church and Santana, and obviously it’s not enough, they needed to change up the core of this team and they didn’t do it.
