Two Years

Edgy MD Dec 29 2011 01:18 PM

Two years ago, the Mets sorta kinda inked Jason Bay. Strangely, our reactions --- perhaps tempered by Omar-era disappointments --- were as much about the way the news broke as the news itself. A lot of waiting for the other shoe to fall. Seems like a lot of shoes have come and still more may follow.

geeze, what was I doing two years ago that I wasn't here blabbing about this? I remember the initial reaction being mostly positive though.

I wanted Matt Holliday and all I got was Jason BOOOOOay... You could see the bad direction the Mets were taking even then.

Apparently I've been begging for 'one more pitcher' for a while. Checked my own blog. Didn't write about Bay. my next post is about Rick DiPietro and hoping for a healthier blue and orange 2010. yeah..that worked.

Sheesh, I think that was the end of the bad steps, rather than the first hint. After that, it was all over but the reckoning. I mean, in the subsequent weeks, they would still make some lower-profile but still ill-advised maneuvers like trading for Gary Matthews and signing Frank Catalonotto, but Omar was pretty much done after Bayday. The real digging work was in what came before --- Alou, Castillo, Wagner, K-Rod, Putz, Santana, Castillo, Perez, etc.

I still think Pearlman's analysis was a bunch of horseapples. Mind you, I'm also half-expecting a 2012 announcement that Bayrut's been suffering from a down-low case of "Flushing secret dengue."

I'm sticking with the Indian Burial Ground theory.
