You know, we've had so much bad football around here, and we could always count on the Mets

and Yankees to be doing things and being competitive.

And it almost feels like both fan bases right now are reacting, like the way Jets and Giants

fans have reacted to how bad their franchises have been.

And it's just not like that.

It's just not even comparable.

And I understand the standard is higher for the Yankees and certainly for the Mets and

Steve Cohen and the money that they have.

But I mean, the Mets had a really, really bad season.

And they have just started this offseason.

And I think part of the reason why this Edwin-Diaz thing has blown up the fan base of the way that it has and the patience is no longer there and they don't even want to see what's happening next before they rip their eyeballs out of their sockets, it's because they're coming off a terrible year.

And now you're starting to question your general manager.

Is this guy just a small market GM?

Does he want to run this team like the Milwaukee Brewers?

And like the only time you could really say that is with the starting rotation.

But then again, you know, they tried, like really legitimately tried.

Not like some of these other teams that say they're in on free agents and they never are.

They tried damn hard to get Yamamoto and pay him the money that Dodgers paid him.

And they didn't get him.

They paid Senga.

They did.

They did.
