Re: *** Official NY Mets Our OFFSEASON Has Come Thread ***
Suigin,
To steal from Matt Cerrone(mostly because I agree with him) Willie's attitude at the end of the season killed the Mets. I feel like the laid back attitude gave this false sense of security. The Mets were falling, and falling fast, and all anyone heard from Randolph was that they were trying hard and there is always tomorrow.
Thats ok when you are in the midst of a losing streak in June, but it was September, crunch time, and there was no sense of urgency. Their might have been in the locker room, hell I hope there was, but I didn't see it on the field or in the interviews.
Another thing that makes me question Willie is, when Delgado came out in early September and said something like, "we are so talented we get bored sometimes." What the hell? Delgado is a leader on this team and that is what he says? The team seemed out of Willie's control in September, and to me, thats a huge deal.
