I never said in my post that Kaz hasn't sucked for the Mets. In fact it's a pretty fair inference if you understand the concept of "redemption." If you think Mets management is going to publicly declare the Matsui deal to be a failure, or "eat shit" as you put it, you have absolutely no concept of how business works. Personally I blame the player's union for strong-arming owners into offering these kinds of deals by pressuring players to hold out for them, and I blame the owners for their desperation and willingness to let their payroll skyrocket. You can apply this statement to Beltran too if you like. But there's nothing stupid or ignorant about cheering for a player YOU ALREADY PAID FOR with the hopes that good fan vibes might actually improve their performance and give your team a better return on their investment. On that point, I'll respectfully disagree with you, Sasser.
