1. Because Tiger Woods is actually good and plays to his seemingly endless potential
and
2. Because the Mets have no clue what they are doing on the field and off it. One day they want to fire Willie Randolph and the next day they don't. One day the Mets coaching staff (sans Willie) is safe, the next day? They are not. The Germans assembled the Luftwaffe in lesser time that it takes for the Mets to make a decision.
I say the Mets need to act more like Tiger Woods because even when he isn't on his A game, he still finds a way to win or tie in this case. Yesterday, Woods was clearly in pain because of his left knee and he didn't cry or make excuses, he did what he had to do on the 18th hole yesterday and holed that putt to tie Rocco Mediate.
Tiger doesn't make excuses, he is so business like out their on the course. He has the attitude of:
"Fuck you, I'm going to win and your gonna like it." It's the reason why he has 13 major victories and 64 victories total for his career, he has the "killer instinct."
The Mets however, do not have that instinct. Infact, that instinct left two years ago and in the foreseeable future it isn't coming back.
It seems that no one on the Mets likes to hit with R.I.S.P (Runners in scoring position) they just want to put it on someone else's shoulder and let them do it. These current Mets don't have a Mike Piazza type player who can put the whole team on his shoulder and carry them to the promise land. As much as I like David Wright, he just isn't showing that so far in his career, well..to me anyway. He tries too much, trying to hit a 2 run home run with no one on base. There is no accountability on this roster, it's full of "let him do it" mentality.
Today, Tiger faced a guy who was the 158th ranked player in the world today in Rocco Mediate and Mediate gave Tiger every thing he had. He forced another playoff hole in which Tiger won by a stroke, but Tiger just has that mentality to win at all costs. He was playing on a bum knee and still won the U.S. Open when every other guy was healthy, Tiger wasn't. This team is full of anti Tigers' its ridiculous. If Tiger played baseball he would be a scrappy player willing to do anything to win. Carlos Delgado is not like this and neither is Luis Castillo, they are what you call "clean uniform guys" or in baseball terms "pussies." They never dive for balls and God forbid you ask them to come through in the clutch. HA. It would be like having Hannibal Lector perform open heart surgery on a loved one.
The Mets should just release Delgado and Castillo because they bring nothing to the table on the field and in the clubhouse, especially Delgado. You guys realize he 86ed trades to contending teams when he was with Toronto? He is a loser, plain and simple.
It times for the Mets to act like this:
and not like this:
