This organization is beyond despicable at this point. The hopelessness and level of ineptness is the worst in the team’s history, given the level of expectations and expenditures going into the season. I’ve followed since the first pitch in 1962.

I have been calling for Buck to be fired since early May. He has proven time and time again that he is incapable of making in game decisions, is totally outmatched by his opponents, has no idea how to motivate and prepare a major league roster, and doesn’t have the fire or fortitude to dig deep when needed most.

What’s the difference between the Mets and marlins? The marlins got rid of an over the hill manager and replaced him with a fiery younger former player. The Mets can do the same with Beltran or Wright. And it’s time
