Enough of 2012

I don't know about you, but I've had enough of the 2012 season.

Remember, I said from the beginning that this was a 'rag tag team playing rag tag baseball. It was a fun ride before the all-star game, but we all knew by that Cubs series that it wasn't going to last, didn't we?

Bobby Ojeda said it best the other night. This team should have been well over 10 games above .500 at the break. The pitching was off the chart and the two-out hits were spilling over the cup. Yeah, it was great, but no one expected a return to the 1962 Mets

In my opinion, and that's all we have, isn't it, but someone has to take a bullet here. The owners have silenced themselves and taken the ability of the General Manager to change things away for now. The General Manager answers press questions with half-answers and throws the gauntlet to the manager. The manager tells the pitching coach to change pitchers 8-10 times a game letting the pitching coach take the hit. Then when nothing HE does works, he dumps it on the players and tells the press to go ask them if they quit

I've been in baseball clubhouses. You have no idea what it's like to have to answer every night for your shortcomings. Jeremy Heffner fought back tears the other night when Jay Horvitz brought the hoard to his pen first.That's the job. You get the microphones when you strike out 11 or can't last an inning. Kevin gets the first question and than Adam tried to interrupt everybody. I miss it so muchI'm moving on, or, maybe it's back. Remember, this is the 'Keith Olberman' potion of my career.Tomorrow, I'm going to project out next year's opening day lineups on the four full season teams. There's no way I will be close to correct, because we know the Mets always sign at least 10 outsiders to fill in the cracks they feel are in the system. We also have no idea how many players will start the season on the DL, be it a real injury or not

What I do know is that I will begin to do something positive here while using the word 'Mets' and, at the same time, point out just how many players are sitting out there waiting to see what their fate is with this team
