Words being used to describe the Mets front office this morning:

"Absurd, [reckless], circus," "cowards, sick," "sad, bizarre, embarrassment" ...

... and then there's the Post's Mike Vaccaro, who gets a pull quote of his own:

Well, the men who run the Mets are quite obviously simple men, and sinister men, cowards cloaked in "no comments," who have seen the way their baseball team has performed this year obviously decided: People don't just need to be fired.

They need to be humiliated.

What a crowd, these bums are, all of them, from the Wilpons at the top to Omar Minaya down below, all of them who conspired to botch this firing worse than any firing has ever been botched. Ever. You wouldn't trust these guys to run a 7-11, let alone a National League baseball team. What a joke. What a cowardly, dastardly joke.

A midnight massacre.

A 3 a.m. thrashing.

Disgraceful. Utterly, completely, disgraceful.

New Mets!

P.S. Buster Olney's nonsensical ESPN blog will probably get fisked later this afternoon, once I work up a good lather about it.
