This is ludicrous. The team has one of the top ten records in baseball, notwithstanding a barrage of injuries. To say that the team underperformed in 2006, well, one hit away from the World Series I guess just doesn't cut it anymore.
I guess this guy is just too young or too old to recall the dog years of 2001-2004. Or the dog years of 1990 - 1998. Or the dog years of 1974 - 1984. This franchise has always had huge problems, with intermittent short periods of good times. This is definitely one of the good times. But instead of enjoying it, and enjoying one of the winningest managers this team has ever had (right up there with Davey, Gil and the detested Bobby V.), many Mets fans seem unable to enjoy the success.
