Joel Sherman is a nagging hysteric disguised as a sports reporter. Steve Cohen is not pulling a Wilpon. Running a baseball team is complicated and he will get better at it. Joel Sherman will, however, never change.
Sidenote2: Isn't it strange how some people wanted the Mets to "do more" at the deadline. Which means, obviously, trading guys like Mauricio, Alvarez, or Ginn for a 60-game rental. And yet these same people LOST THEIR MINDS when BVW traded Kelenic for 4 years of Diaz.
Sidenote: I found the media coverage of Baez to be schizophrenic. When he plays well, he's the greatest player on the planet!!!! Then he does nothing for 3 games and it's media silence.
I'm not one to declare "it's over" prematurely -- there are no prizes for being the first to give up, even if you are correct -- so there's always hope. The Mets need to get through these three games against the Giants, hopefully take two, then get 15 straight vs. the Nats & Marlins. If they can close the gap to three games after that stretch, they'll have 20 games left on the schedule. I think that's my goal if I'm the Mets. Close the gap over the next 18 games and see where we're at. The Braves need to falter.
