my take:
Wait, remember the days when Mets fans were blamed for going to The Dead Zone to provoke them? That was bull$hit then and it's Bull$hit now. They are miserable as the once Entitled Fan Base has fallen further and further behind the truly elite baseball franchises, and yes, we all know the Mets aren't one.
You have to cut them slack…all those championships when you could catch a flight with a bottle of shampoo in your carry-on spoiled them.
LMAO, you put it a lot better than I did, either way, it seems they're the last to realize they are a has been. Now Carnac the Magnificent would say "we were the never weres", there, I said it before The 3 Amigo's did.

Well- if you are a woman in baseball, are you really going to take a job reporting to Sandy?
I think for whatever reason Cohen is being blackballed. If that really is the case Cohen should channel his inner Al Davis and go rogue.
Something is definitely up when National sportswriters are criticizing the Mets for firing front office people after their DUIs while Henry Ruggs is a current topic.
I believe it is a combo of both.
Can't argue with any of that. The thing is though, Cohen hand-selected Sandy precisely BECAUSE he was a well-respected member of the old boys club. Cohen intuited (correctly IMO) that having Sandy on board might convince the other owners that he planned to "build a winner the right way" and not just spend his way to a championship. Cohen needed that to get confirmed.
1986 was soooo long ago.
There are kids in Jr HS that never saw the Yankees as Champs. And we agree- 1986 was way to long ago. I think that is where you fail. As Met’s fans, we actually agree. But we also find it funny as hell that you guys act as though it is 2000.
You know that isn't correct. there have only been 9 other teams to be in the WS since the last time we were. Including KC who were in it with us.
Might the Phillies want Comforto? They need outfield help except for Harper in right. Maybe all Conforto needs is a change in scenery; we all know that it's tough being a ballplayer in NY.
Very sad news...RIP. Only 45 years old.
Funny thing is that the only person in MLB charged and convicted of supplying steroids and human growth hormone and other drugs worked for the Mets! Everytime Mets fans bring up this topic they conveniently forget Kirk Radomski. The Mets were the most juiced team in baseball and still sucked.Nuff said, subtract 4 or 5 titles then get back to me.

Why do you make us do this...anyway - "As for performance-enhancing drugs, Radomski told ESPN.com that the only Mets he supplied during his clubhouse days in New York were Lenny Dykstra and David Segui, though he writes that his plea agreement with the government states that he didn't begin distributing until after he left the Mets." ~ Radomski and per Radomski - Radomski supplied the drugs to personal trainer Brian McNamee, who has testified that he provided performance enhancers to Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and Chuck Knoblauch.
