2009 Mets Season Thread

[Sgt PSN]

true, but those mets teams were good teams that pulled massive choke jobs.  this year's version never really got into position to even choke away a late season lead.  in a way, that kind of saddens me.  doesn't give me much to look forward to for the final 2 weeks of the season.

this years team has been decimated by injuries not really a disappointment in terms of how they played....the two choke chobs were way more disappointing (wonderful) imo

That story about the shenanigans going on in the Mets clubhouse is hilarious.   Can you imagine that shtein going on with Chase Utley in the room during a miserable season like the one the Mets are having?

Jesus...

the 2009 mets might be the most disappointing team in the last 20+ years, right up there with the 2008 tigers.  

So, youre saying the two biggest team disappointments in the past 20 years of play have happened in the past two seasons? I'm sure.

[Sgt PSN]

no, i said that 2 of the most disappointing teams in the last 20 year happened in the last 2 years. 

how can you be so football smart, and baseball dumb? 

[DH]

Listen, it sucks. Sucks to be a Mets fan now. And the worst part is thinking that the complete football/baseball opposite of me (and Feva) is a Phillies/Giants fan, and that guy just celebrated a WS and SB in an 8 month span. On top of that, the Phils are already on the cusp of getting the games best arm while already being the NL favorite to go back to the show.

Meanwhile, we get bupkus. It's a huge cock in the ass..but at least the Giants are hopefully gonna suck again.

[Feva]

BUPKUS!!!

there are phillie/giant fans?

Omar's lackey/assistant Tony Bernazard, who last week cussed out his assistant because the assistant told him to wait until the half inning to demand a seat away from a Diamondbacks scout is back in the news again.

WASHINGTON - The Binghamton Mets clubhouse nearly turned into a scene out of WWE Raw recently, when VP for player development Tony Bernazard removed his shirt and challenged the Double-A players to a fight during a postgame tirade, multiples sources told the Daily News.

Bernazard particularly went after middle infield prospect Jose Coronado, using a slang term associated with a woman's anatomy, a source indicated. The confrontation happened about 10days before the All-Star break, according to insiders.

"That's an all-timer if true," an AL official said upon hearing the account, which was corroborated by multiple people with ties to the Mets.

GM Omar Minaya acknowledged Bernazard spoke to the B-Mets in a "stern voice," but said he had no knowledge of the scope being portrayed.

"I know he did have a team meeting with them," Minaya told the Daily News. "It was not a 'you-guys-have-been-great meeting.' I know he spoke to them in a stern voice. But as far as what he was wearing, what kind of shoes he was wearing, I don't know anything about that."

While the 52-year-old Bernazard's actions were over-the-top no matter what the motivation, alleged underage drinking on the team apparently was one motivation for the eruption, an organization source said. Still, sending players to counseling rather than challenging them to a rumble might have been a more appropriate course of action.

Binghamton went 1-6 during an early July home stand against New Hampshire and Erie that coincided with that tumult. Three of the defeats came by at least seven runs. The team's longtime Double-A affiliate entered last night with a 36-58 record, in last place in the Eastern League's Northern Division.

"It's ridiculous that anyone in a professional baseball environment thinks it's acceptable," a friend of several B-Mets said about the treatment of the players.

The shoddy treatment of people in the system has led to mocking of the VP behind his back.

The News reported Tuesday that Bernazard, one of GM Omar Minaya's top lieutenants, recently erupted at the organization's manager of baseball operations. During a game at Citi Field, scouts took their customary seats in a row behind home plate. Bernazard showed up during play and wanted a seat occupied by a D-Backs scout. Bernazard's deputy, already seated in the row, suggested to the Mets VP that he wait until the half-inning ended, to minimize the disruption. Bernazard ripped into his deputy with a profanity-laced tirade as scouts and patrons watched in disbelief.

what a disaster this franchise is....this went on at todays presser announcing bernazrds firing


According to ESPN.com's Amy Nelson, Omar Minaya has accused New York Daily News reporter Adam Rubin of lobbying for a player development job with the Mets. Last week Rubin broke the news that Bernazard challenged Mets minor leaguers to a fight. Rubin and Minaya apparently started shouting at one another this afternoon after Minaya made the allegation against the reporter. Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post says it's "an epic meltdown by Omar Minaya. Just epic."
