Fifteen games into the season, I’m already tired of dealing with all the articles/blog posts about what the Mets need to fix. To illustrate my point, here’s just a sampling of what people have written just over the past few days regarding what’s wrong with the New York Mets:
- The team is incable of hitting with runners in scoring position (4/20)
- The team has no “gangstas” (4/22)
- The team lacks a “killer instinct” to “finish strong” (4/24)
- Offense is “out of sync” (4/23)
- Team brass wanting to wipe Doc Gooden’s autograph from the stadium wall (4/20)
- Pitchers not pitching deep into games (4/22)
- Lack of a 38-year old pitcher who had a 5.61 ERA in 2008 (4/24)
- Gary Sheffield is “causing confusion on the roster“(4/24)
- Pitchers need to be demoted (4/24)
- Not enough stolen bases (4/21)
- Tickets are way too expensive (4/21)
- Everything (4/23)
- They’re in “passive mode” (4/24)
- The outfield wall of Citi Field should be blue (4/21)

How about “they just aren’t good enough”? How about “they are realizing that Randolph wasn’t the issue”? Another season will end with them looking up at the Phillies, maybe even the Braves.
