So the Mets have a big press conference to announce Carlos Beltran as their new manager. Seemed a good fit. He had a long storied career and played for both the Yankees and the Mets so he knows New York and the media he would have to face. Suddenly reality intruded.
It seems that good old Carlos was part of the sign stealing by the Astros that has resulted in their manager and general manger getting fired even though they had won the World Series in 2017 and beat out my Yankees to go to the series last year. In addition the Red Sox manager Alex Cora was also fired as he was going to be suspended for a year for stealing signs. So the idiot Mets fired Beltran before he ever managed a game even though MLB brass said he would not be suspended.
What an utter load of politically correct bullshit. Sign stealing was a part of the game ever since Abner Doubleday first rubbed a ball on the mound. Or rubbed a mound with his balls. Or something like that there. Now they made it a federal crime and are suspending and firing people for it. Jackie Robinson was famous for stealing signs. Also stealing stuff out of the white guys lockers but that's another story. Ty Cobb stole signs in between beating up black porters and disabled people. Babe Ruth never stole signs but that was only because his belly was too fat for him to see the catcher. Still and all there is nothing wrong with stealing signs. This political correct crap has to stop.
That's why the Mets are like the Democrats. They want to cater to the politically correct and stay on the right side of the bosses. Do you think George Steinbrenner would have fired Billy Martin for stealing signs. He only fired him for beating up mash-mellow salesman. But he would give him a raise for stealing signs especially if he had won the Series two years ago and went back there this year. The Mets are so stupid that most of their audience will be felons who got released without bail and were given Mets tickers to encourage them to show up in court. Imagine your sitting there next to guy with prison tats and MS13 t shirt and he says "Hey chico how you get you tickets man?" "Why stub hub my good man. How did you get yours?" "I stabbed a bitch."
Just another reason to prove that the Mets suck.
Oh yeah and for my good friend Lem.
BOSTON SUCKS

This sign stealing is not organic, like it was for generations. I think it's righteous to nip it in the bud. Beltran wouldn't stand for God Bless America.
I think you have to go with the times. Sign stealing is a part of the game. So what if you use technology. Man up and take countermeasures
I hope no brief for Beltran. Anybody that would work for the Mets is not a real american anyway. Just sayn'
Whole problem with Mets is the Wilpons are skinflints (and gonifs). But new 51% owner is filthy rich hedge fund guy Steve Cohen who supposedly actually loves baseball and is willing to put big bucks into Mets. We shall see.
