Mets Will Forfeit Final Series of Season

The New York Mets have an off day today. Getting swept by the Nationals takes a lot out of you, plus that 3 hour bus ride home is a real drain so rest up fellas.

But once the team arrives back in New York, the Mets will more than likely forfeit the final series of the season. There are several reasons for this. First so no one else gets injured. Second, the games are completely meaningless. Third, to save unsuspecting fans from having to pay $18 to park their car and watch putrid baseball. Fourth, to save themselves the embarrassment. Fifth, because this season just can't end fast enough.

What will be played in Queens this weekend is not baseball. It's disgrace.

Save us all from any more disappointment and suffering and just end the season today. Call up the entire Brooklyn Cyclones to play if the Astros really feel like going through the motions.

Bring on the off season where there's at least false hope of better things to come.

Old Men Try to Teach Mets New Tricks

If you haven't seen this story yet, brace yourself for utter and total embarrassment.

It appears some senior citizens in Long Island have some advice for the New York Mets. In fact they had so much knowledge and skills about baseball that they thought the Mets lacked that they put together an instructional video for the team.

The video covers such rare, but essential tips like catching the ball with two hands or tagging up on a fly ball or keeping your eye on the ball as you swing.

It's just another chapter in the utter and total disgrace that is becoming the 2009 Mets.

According to a Newsday article "Claiming that they understand the fundamentals of the game more than the Mets, the Bristal team will focus on a number of basic plays." Wow. These guys actually think they know more than the Mets. The sad part is they might be right.

If you're waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop out and claim he's just punk'd the Mets, don't hold your breath. This is the real thing.

And oddly enough, I'm kind of hoping the Mets watch the video.
