According to MLB.com, Jeff Wilpon told reporters, “I think we overachieved,” considering where the team was earlier in the year, and considering all of the injuries they had to deal with.
…you have got to be kidding me…
…i mean, whatever had been the case, be it injuries, fourth place in june, etc., the facts are this: a) his team was three games in first place in September, b) they were two games up in the Wild Card, and c) they controlled their own fate up until the last 30 minutes of the season…
…so, while i understand what he’s trying to say, please, spare me the overachievement nonsense…especially today…

Fire Minaya….Bad acquisitions hindered the team–far outweighing the good ones..Big dollars spent on aging stars was money poorly spent….who needs him…
Jeff must have flipped his wig.
“Overachievers”.
At least I have Torre and the Dodgers.
Joe Torre got a lot smarter after Manny got there….
Dodgers were the Flounders until Manny arrived.
Torre was no genius, he was adept at handling the media and ownership and left the heavy lifting to Zimmer.
Stars were aging rapidamente.
We were not over-achieving. Thje first 70 games of the season we were under-performing….the final 80 or 90 games we finally got our act together.
i said back in ‘03, as long as the Wilpons own the Mets, they will never win a championship! When Doubleday sold his shares to Fred, we were doomed forever. Does anyone remember that Piazza wouldnt have been acquired in ‘98 if Doubleday didnt overrule Wilpon and push that Marlin-Met deal through??
you’re right….the wilpons vetoed Manny at the deadline because of the potential circus. Wilpon’s won’t take any potential problems in the clubhouse, period. hence Nails, Mitchell gone and so it goes….they are putzes, as they say in the trade.
“bordering on criminal!”
Like Shelly Duncan
Wow, that brings back memories of ST.
yea…because Matt couldn’t hit a sac fly with no outs…or get a save with a 2-run lead…or not start an inning with putting two runners on with no out…or..I think you get the idea.
We overachieved if you take into effect the 1st half of the year and all of our injuries. I’d say maybe we overachieved around the all star break, but we underachieved big time in September.
Does Wilpon watch the games?
