The 2010 Mets season ended like it began, with a whimper. They were mystifying and a disaster, two common adjectives used to describe this franchise since their one year of success in 2006. Both Jerry and Omar are both probably (almost definitely) gone and there will be some sort of shuffling within the organization to perhaps right this ship.

To break down those two moves: I rather apathetic about Jerry getting canned. He was disliked and awful. He did nothing for the team other than make stupid decisions and make an ass out of himself in front of the media. Perhaps his legacy is the damage done: both Jenrry Mejia and Johan Santana will miss significant time due to Jerry's horrible management. To that, I say, good riddance.

Omar's departure is slightly more bittersweet. His arrival as general manager marked a substantial increase in the value of the Mets name. After that horrible downturn post-Subway Series and the disastrous tenures of both Steve Phillips and Jim Duquette, Minaya was a slight little bit of hope in the otherwise bleak Mets existence.

Perhaps most depressing of all is that we all viewed Minaya as our savior. For all intents and purposes he was, signing Carlos Beltran and Pedro Martinez and significantly overhauling the roster to the point where they were once again competitive. But the savior failed the Mets and here we are, right back at square one, perhaps worse off than we ever were back in the dark ages of Steve Trachsel and Kris Benson.

We all know what's coming. The Wilpons will make a terrible choice for both manager and general manager, puppets for their stupid ideas and piss poor management and decision making. While I'd love to have someone like Kim Ng, Paul DePodesta, or some other half intelligent person in the GM spot, I know it isn't going to happen.

I worry about the Mets some times because I really do care about the team. CitiField is a lovely stadium and it doesn't deserve the ownership that runs her,  the team that plays on it, and even some of the fans that fill her seats. CitiField deserves so much more and it will be years, if not decades, if that ever changes.

Baseball is a strange and fickle game and we really don't know what's going to happen next. Perhaps the Mets will make some intelligent moves this offseason but yet again, perhaps monkeys will fly out of my butt.
