Summary

Joe Benigno's scorching takedown of the Mets wasn't just a critique; it was a furious, caffeine-fueled sermon delivered to the masses. With the passion of a true New York fan, he lit into every aspect of the team's woes, from a disgraceful bullpen filled with "stiffs" to the "delirious" managerial decisions. He saved his most venomous barbs for "Boy Genius" David Stearns, blaming the front office for the team's abysmal state and an inability to acquire a competent starting pitcher at the trade deadline. Benigno’s rant was a raw, unfiltered cry of disgust, perfectly capturing the agony of a fan watching his team self-destruct.
