this guy is just a band wagon hater...

I'm not sure what a "band wagon hater" is (?), but I'm pretty sure you mean "conga line"--as in the conga, a dance--and not Congo, an African nation.

But otherwise, you are right--the Mets are not a bad team by any stretch.  Randolph did pretty well by them for several seasons and then, because of a bad September last year, all that was forgotten.  Once the stink from this firing clears, the Mets will be a contender.  If it's not too late.
