Mets Fail to Deliver the Promise of Having Meaningful Press Conferences in October
My reactions to today’s press conference at Citi Field with Mets’ COO Jeff Wilpon and GM Omar Minaya. Consider this my quick and dirty obituary of the 2009 New York Mets:
- Mets’ front office execs using the word “inexcusable” in October is officially an American tradition. Greeting cards soon to follow.
- “The payroll is what Omar needs” = “let’s lock up Alex Cora and Jeff Francoeur to three-year deals”
- If you go from a line of .313/.397/.473 in 2008 to .266/.313/.427 in 2009 like Daniel Murphy did, Omar Minaya will be “encouraged” by what you showed him.
- “Minaya believes he and his staff must look at every aspect of the team, while putting better talent on the field.” This is a brilliant plan. Follow it. Can’t go wrong.
- And clearly, I’ve wasted my time even paying attention.
