Are the Mets still my Team?

It is really getting hard to be a Mets fan. It's one thing that they are a mess on the field, that I can take. But this PR nightmare with the firing of Tony Bernazard is pathetic. It just seems like they can't do anything right - including firing people. If you recall last year, they didn't handle the Willie Randolph thing too well when it seemed like Tony Bernazard had it out for Willie and next thing you know, Willie is gone.

23 years since a championship. Hard to complain about that when there are generations of Cubs fans that have lived and died and seen nothing but those ivy walls. Since the last Mets World Series championship, we've had the saga of Darryl and Doc and drugs and alcohol, we had the wonderful 90s best remembered for Vince Coleman and firecrackers, Bret Saberhagen and bleach guns and Mo Vaughn taking the Mets for a lot of money. This decade started well getting to the World Series, but the collapses of the last 3 years have been tough to take.

When is enough, enough. I'm sick of how ownership runs the team and isn't that the same reason I was sick of the Yankees as a teenager and started liking the Mets. Omar has got to go. He is an awful public speaker and is now a target for the media and the fans. I'll be shocked if he survives the season.

For some reason though, I don't think I can abandon the Mets. Not yet anyway. And don't worry, the Yankees will probably never be an option! There is always the Padres, no matter how bad they are.
