After yet another embarrassing defeat tonight, I was perusing the Mets’ forum and came across this gem.  At least these guys are having some fun with the horrible season, player moves, and injuries.

From WaxPax

With the Mets philosphy of looking from within the organiaztion to field a contender here’s what our 2010 opening day line-up will look like:

CF John from the advance ticket sales office
SS The Ball Boy
1B Joe the loading dock foreman
RF Charles the big Dude who works security
LF The tall guy from the grounds crew
3B Mike the visiting Clubhouse attendant
2B Mr. Met
C The Beer Man
P Tom the back-up score board operator

And the response from metsman77

Joe the loading dock man has a herniated disk and was forced into retirement. The tall guy from the grounds crew pulled hammy the other night well walking up his stairs in his NY city apartment. He then proceeded to fall down the stairs and tore every ligament in his right knee. Reports from the hospital say that he will be in a cast for 2 months.

When asked for confirmation Omar said,

“the tall guy did have a accident at home and is spending the night at the hospital. At this point he is day to day.”

Reporter: But isn’t he in a cast for 2 months?

Omar: Well yes, that’s just a technicality, our trainers declared he is day to day.”

Thanks guys, for making me laugh and putting the season into perspective.
