Sal Licata enjoyed a nice evening with his daughter on Tuesday, watching baseball together with both New York teams in action.
Sal's mistake? He shouldn't have let his daughter's introduction to our national pastime be via the disastrous Mets, who were knocked around again on Tuesday night.
"I probably shouldn't be showing her the Mets game and telling her that is baseball," Sal said. "It wasn't baseball being played by the Mets, and it hasn't been for a long time.
"This Mets team, I can't show her that. I don't want to have her get initiated into baseball with this slop on the screen. Something needs to change. They can't continue."
The Mets are now three games below .500, the worst since Buck Showalter took over as manager, and they will hope the call-up of Mark Vientos injects some new life into the lineup, but right now, the offense can't get anything going, and expected aces like Justin Verlander are getting knocked around by a mighty Rays lineup.
"I've been patient because they came off a 101-win season, because I believe in some of the talent they have, and because it's still early…I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt," Sal said.
"If [Steve Cohen] is not questioning the money he spent, he is mad at the money he spent and the product he is watching. There is no way that amount of money should add up to that result."
