What a way for the both New York baseball teams to pull off a double-downer and truly disappoint their fans. How can it get even worse especially for the Mets? Being knocked out of playoff contention on the last day of the season two straight years has to be the pits. Usually I'd reserve a pot shot directed to primarily the Yankees, but each team took a flying nose dive for a collapse. Come to think, after losing some of their best pitchers the Mets were destined to falter and I actually picked them to win the wild card! I'm not sure what I was thinking at the time. This 2008 team sure didn't get a 'miracle' when they needed it and will have to watch the postseason back in the Bronx where the fans will be livid (Most likely calling them every name in the book and sending them regular hate mail). They were so close and only got to lick the outskirts of postseason emergence.
I guess after Joe Torre left the Yankees things went downhill fast because he was a central piece to their success over several years. Then they bring in former catcher Joe Giradi and think he will have the same effect because he has the same first name. Not clear thinking at all by an aging billionaire owner. A-Rod and Jeter couldn't get it done and needed help which just didn't arrive. I have to imagine going out to restaurants or clubs won't be the norm for these superstar players as irate Yankees fans will give them a piece of their mind. As soon as they're spotted on the street they better watch out because it will be like,
"HEY, you guyz ain't no real freaking Yankees, how dare you shame the good name of the Babe in the last year at Yankee Stadium. Having Yogi at the last game was special...it was an emotional night and you prima donnas f--ked it all up! Maybe elsewhere, they let it slide, but you in Brooklyn b*tch and we don't pull up with that crap! We only want winners not pretenders. Don't bother showing ya face around here until you lousy bums can hit the playoffs again."
