Tough Break???

What's up everyone. I'm a new blogger here and go by the name of Johnson Thundercock, but you can just call me JT.

In the past few weeks we've seen quite a lot happen with our beloved Mets. The "Don't Trade Reyes" movement is in full force, part of the team has been sold and there is potential for Einhorn to take majority control of the team in 3 yrs, and with a makeshift team we have somehow managed to play close to .500 ball.

But, and there's always a but, there are still some glaring problems with this team. And the one I absolutely have to focus on is the Mets head trainer. Ray Ramirez and the medical staff somehow manage to remain employed by our team. Why? Well let's not forget the Wilpons are still in control of this team and if there is one thing they've proved, it's that they know how to make wrong decisions.

It's one debacle after another with squad. Reyes and Beltran immediately jump to mind. Wright was a fluke thing so I'll let that slide. But the most recent thing is Ike Davis. This guy was supposed to be back already. A medical staff is supposed to be able to diagnose issues and provide the appropriate treatment. Now I'm finding out there is a good chance that Ike is gone for the year. To be specific he is going to try baseball related activities in 3 weeks and then a decision will be made. But if microfracture surgery is required we won't be seeing him until next year.

Seriously, the time has come to start clean and bring in a new medical staff. Enough is enough. I can't stand seeing players that I enjoy watching play go to the DL for extended periods of time. It stunts the growth of the player and wears on the fanbase. The Mets can afford neither.
