Yesterday, it was brought to our attention that the Post's Kevin Kernan, apart from resembling an inbred border terrier, is
very superstitious.
In Kernan's column, he smothers his readers with metaphors of failure, implying the Mets' season is already over (typical beat writer drivel). Then he goes on to suggest that the front office should be steadfast in attempting to trade Jose Reyes. Why, you ask? Well, Kernan believes the Mets adversity is credited to some supernatural power, and the Mets should get all they can for Reyes before the Citi Field soil opens up, and engulfs him. That's right folks, Kernan sincerely believes the Mets are cursed. Don't get me wrong, this Mets team has had some bad luck (i.e. Hanley Ramirez's shoulder block, turned double play from two nights ago), but does Kernan expect us to believe that some sort of demon possesses this team, causing their inability to be successful? I, for one, don't buy it. Actually, it may be the most idiotic Mets theory I've ever read... in the Post... by Kernan... in the past two days.
Listen Kevin, all teams have injuries, so give it a rest. Everybody has at least some small superstition (myself included) they subscribe to, but your theory is just plain stupid. Could Reyes get hurt (
as I ferociously knock on my head as a substitute for the wood that doesn't exist in my office)? Sure. But it wouldn't be a result of some agitation in the underworld. So take your rabbit's foot, broken mirror, black cat, spilled salt and shove them up your tuckus.
As for this quote:
"The Mets say Wright will be right in two weeks, but when has a Mets’ injury ever met the best-case scenario?"
What about Beltran this year? All you beat writer clowns had him sidelined for the start of the season, despite encouraging reports from Terry Collins and Sandy Alderson. Who lived up to that best-case scenario?
And could someone please give me a substantial Reyes trade report? I am not saying he won't be traded, but not one report written by any of these idiots has a credible source.
