Wow, I guess I’m writing. It’s about time right? I mean you people
probably think that I say I run this show mainly cause I have a pulse…..while
that’s the case, I know sports as well, in fact well enough to get a spot in
the finals of the WFAN Fantasy Phenom Contest.
So why am I gracing my own shows blog when I have others to do
this? It’s simple. People need to learn something very important about our city
and its sports teams…..Now sit down if you aren’t. If you are reading this
while driving, please pull over. If you’re standing on the bus, please sit
down. WE ARE NOT GOING TO WIN
A CHAMPIONSHIP IN BASEBALL FOR A LONG LONG TIME!
This is Blasphemy right? How dare I say that! Am I crazy and
delusional? No, unfortunately not but let’s take a look at each of our teams Just
call this a state of our teams address…..Or the
disarray.
Yankees: On the decline,
aging superstars, almost no farm system to speak of and now a self imposed team
salary cap? This is not the Yankees from the 2000’s or even from the 1990’s
that actually built through the farm system. No. This is the end of a dynasty.
Jeter is retiring, A-Roid is getting suspended, Cano will be resigned and we
will not pick up ANY ONE ELSE! Cashman is serious about this cap. He seems
serious about rebuilding but they talk about winning now. SO let’s recap team
on decline, aging core, retiring heroes, overpaid busts, no farm system what so
ever, half hearted rebuilding AND talk of win now…..A half hearted rebuild is
an unsuccessful one. This team is in trouble and in the cellar of the AL East for
at least the next 5 years unless a course is definitively picked and followed.
Mets: Do I need to
continue? The ownership is so bad we have crazy slasher movie fans wanting to
turn the front office into a reboot of a Michael Myers movie! The only headlines
the Mets get are when people threaten us or when one of our VERY FEW actually
major league ready players gets HURT! This seems to be the only thing this team
is good at.
Now a self imposed
deadline of “being good in 2014” has arrived but in reality, this team is no
where closer to a championship then they were when Alderson took the job. In fact
their worse off. We could win the minor league world series but forget a
playoff spot. Forget a winning season, hell forget third place! Be realistic.
We relied on Harvey and Wheeler to guide us forward, one half is gone. With
Harvey down, David Wright pissed nobody on the free agent market and the Mets
making systematic errors throughout Alderson’s tender (If you disagree, look at
Marcum and ALL 3 OF HIS BULLPENS) I think they are going nowhere. However,
we’ve become so accustomed to failure that we would take an 80 win season from
our AAA1/2 baseball club that’s worth over $2.05 BILLION DOLLARS!
Recap- No money being
spent, no trade talks, no fans coming to the park, and the owners being GOD
AWFUL!! (At least Dolan spends money) This team is going nowhere fact. Unless
the Mets get bought by the Nets owner, were screwed.
Well there you have it
kids. Baseball fans, go watch the cyclones, they have a better on the field
product than the Mets….Hey wait, maybe they can let the cyclones play instead
of the Mets…..It’s not as if we’d know the difference!!
Mouth
