Dear Mets: You Can Just Go Ahead and Send that 2009 Apology Now

It’s the First Step
I’ll be honest. I haven’t sat and watched more than an inning or two of Mets “action” in weeks. It pained me to endure a single frame tonight, as the meek Metros cowered against my rest-of-’09 favorite team. In the grand scheme of things, after shelling out season ticket moolah and more than a few $7.50 beers over the course of the season (with three games still left on the person docket), I owe the Mets absolutely nothing. Not a g-damn freakin’ thing. Zippo. Nada. Zilch. They, on the other hand, owe me, hell they owe all of us, a great deal — for lost time, money, invested emotion, hair and the like. However, at this point, I’d be willing to settle for one simple gesture. Let’s start with an apology, Mets.

This is not without precedent.Let us stroll down memory lane for a brief moment shall we?

The above was from way back in October of 2007. You may recall the Mets were not playing in October that particular season. In fact, our fall absence has been somewhat of a theme in recent years. For the handful of you may have been with LCG back then, you may recall I penned a somewhat tongue-in-cheek response to this “I’m sorry,” tinged with a just a touch of pissed off.

This season managed to beat me down much earlier and more emphatically. Hope was never really in the equation anytime after May. That said a sincere apology is no less warranted or appropriate. My only question for Mets management…why wait? Let’s start cranking those emails out now. What’s the point of leaving it until the last-minute? We’re ready for our apology. In fact, I’m eagerly anticipating the positioning of the 2009 edition.

Perhaps in it the Mets will express regret for posting the fewest wins since the Art Howe era in the debut season for a new stadium in which it jacked up seat prices by obscene percentages? Or maybe the franchise will acknowledge the epic fail of its fine training staff headed by the legendary Ray Ramirez? I could even seen some concessions regarding the public relations fumblings of our mastery of oration GM.

Oooh, ooh! I’m eager with anticipation!
