Heres some optimism found by an eternal realist (myself)...
"Randolph insisted he was neither stunned nor numb. He has, after all, been on this ledge before. The view then was hardly pretty, but he knew the fog would eventually clear. The sky wasn't falling, there was no reason to duck.
The Yankees were winless in their first three games, losing two at Anaheim, another at Oakland, to the aggregate score of 21-5. Somewhere The Boss must have been huffing and puffing, maybe even sharpening his ax.
The year was 1998, and wise baseball fans remember not that inglorious start, but the merciless, orgiastic finish. For that is when the Yankees won 114 regular-season games, 125 total, swept the Padres in the World Series and earned sculptures in the pantheon of the greatest teams ever. "
These guys aren't the 98 Yankees, but its something to cling to, which you need when you're hanging off the edge of a cliff.

If that's all you have to cling to, then, wow, I'm really, realy sorry for the Mets, man.

as a life long met hater , i feel joy.
as a fan of willie randolph, i feel sorrow.
it pisses me off that randolph took the job because now i am very conflicted in regards to the mets.
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

I think Willie will be ok, and I really do think they'll end up having a decent season overall. The press is really making this worse than it is, as I'm sure they'd do if it were the Yankees who were scoreless a week into the season.

the one thing I like about the Mets is hearing about how Keitn Hernadez was smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer in the manager's office when Buckner fucked the play.

I hold the dubious honor of being the only person never modded who has also never been to a party who in the past had a shared account with a vegetable reference that has had consensual sex with a woman who wasn't from the board that also knows what >) means and remembers the end of the golden age.

next, they have to learn that you can't go 1-5 every week and expect to make the playoffs.

for all the shit matsui has been taking i think he actually leads the team with 8 RBIs right now. he had a spectacular bunt he beat out at first that scored a run and sparked the 8th inning rally that secured the win.
