HOW’S THAT WORKING FOR YA?
There was no internet in my office today, which means, effectively, that there was nothing we could do. I spent five hours waiting around for a part to come in that would resolve said internet outage, only to be then told it would still be a few hours, and then gave up and came home. The whole time, I’m thinking - how great, I don’t have to read about any more of this nonsense… before I walked out on the street and paid attention.
So much for the ‘we’ll do it in the middle of the night, so it won’t make the morning papers in NYC!’ plan, dudes. That went well, dontcha think?
We’ve had to deal with weeks of this bs. Now we’re going to have to deal with MORE weeks of this. Because this week will be the whole “Mets on the road dealing with Willie’s firing!” both in LA and in Denver (because what else are they writing about in Denver right now), and then it will be “Mets come home after Willie being fired!” next week.... especially since remember who we play next week?
The Mariners.
Who just, um, fired somebody.
Good times ahead. I predict we’ll stop talking about this… in 2009, or whenever the Wilpons decide we should all find out about the ticket prices for next year.
Gothamist has all of today’s papers nicely displayed. *sigh*
As much as I know this team is going to turn it around (or not) regardless of the manager and how much I wanted Manuel gone with Wilie, I hope we’re still talking about it for a while.
The way we stop talking about it is if the Mets lose and Manuel goes quietly into the night with a career 46-45 Mets record or something.
