Having been on the Mets mailing list, and dealing, all season long, with various e-mails such as voting for what song David Wright should come to bat to at Shea, the season ending note we got today was an open apology to Mets fans.
It starts:
Dear Mets Fan:
All of us at the Mets are bitterly disappointed in failing to achieve our collective goal of building upon last year's success. We did not meet our organization's expectations -- or yours. Everyone at Shea feels the same range of emotions as you -- our loyal fans -- and we know we have let you down. We wanted to thank you for your record-breaking support of our team this year.
Equally important, Ownership will continue its commitment in providing the resources necessary to field a championship team. Omar will be meeting with Ownership shortly to present his plan on addressing our shortcomings so that we can achieve our goal of winning championships in 2008 and beyond.
You deserve better results.
Many thanks again for your record-breaking support.
Obviously, it now appears that, like it or not, a version of "blow it up and build it again" will be undertaken this offseason, and who's to say at this moment if the return of manager Willie Randolph is one of those changes. For a start, let's hope they start with the pitching staff, or next season will be a lot worse than this one.
In other Mets news, the gent who caught Barry Bonds' record breaking 756th home run in San Francisco is now blaming himself for the Mets spectacular late season slide, the New York Post article is HERE.
