But this year adds new frustrations as the Mets continue to look good and bad at the same time.
First off, I admit with Matt Harvey coming back this year it looks like we have a chance to get in the Wild Card but I have a feeling we'll fall short.
Our new "bum" Michael Cuddyer is living up to his nickname. Taking the Mets for millions of dollars a year and under performing. He stayed injured half the season last year and I'm not optimistic about his chances in 2015 either. I can't believe we traded a draft pick for this bozo!
We're the 10th lowest paid team in baseball which unless you're a MLB team based out of Houston is pathetic. We're a big market team (the biggest in sports) playing on a small market budget. Which Bud Selig (and now his new predecessor) decided to look the other way, hum loudly and pretend nothing about the situation looks fishy.
Yeah I hate the ownership. The Wilpons should have been thrown out of baseball YEARS ago. But thanks to their many connections to the "powers that be" they get to keep their team. I really hope the fan movement to have them removed is picked up by the MLB brass, but I doubt it ever will. Wilpon-4-Life will sadly be the Mets motto for the next decade or so.
The ONLY positive thing of the season is knowing we have the leagues #4 best farm club in the system. That's got to account for something right?!
We have an overflow of THE best pitchers in the league right now. (Sandy Alderson so trade some of that talent for bats) And an overall excellent minor league system in all other areas. So maybe the future will be better as it goes along and the reason the Mets are sandbagging their money right now is because they want to invest in that future.
But then again... I'm doubtful.
