OK, just kidding. But would you be surprised? This season is very similar to the 1992-93 Ranger hockey season, when Brian Leetch did just that. Everything went wrong.
Last night was the lowest of the low. It started with Jose Reyes suffering what was called a major setback as he had to come back to New York and be examined the crack New York Met medical staff. After going back and forth in a pretty entertaining ballgame where they actually knocked around Joel Pineiro (I probably misspelled the name in previous posts, whatever), Luis Castillo out of nowhere slips down the dugout steps and turns his ankle. He's done for the season, I don't care if they're going to call it a cramp later today. After the fall, the rest of the team fell on the field. A 7-4 lead turned into a 12-7 defeat in 10 innings, with the go-ahead run coming in on a Sean Green hit batsman. We might as well trade this guy for Aaron Heilman, the deal would be a wash.
Yadier Molina has not stopped smiling in Flushing since October of 2006. What the hell are the Mets thinking running on this guy?
As for Reyes, this guy needs to determine right now if surgery fixes his problem and if it does, get it done.
We can only hope that next season follows the pattern of the season following the 92-93 Ranger debacle. One in which we will have our own "one more hill to climb, baby" moment if we reach the World Series.
Off to Citi to see what thrills await me on another Camp Day game.
