Exactly. You have to try to be this bad. 40 games below .500? Ridiculous. It started with a culture of losing at the top, no accountability for crappy play, and has resulted in a crew of mediocre players not coming to the game to play. That combined with a joke of a pitching staff assembled by this FO and you have what you have. The '62 Mets were a joke - a collection of old parts and retreads. In a sport where the best team typically loses at least 60 games and the worst team wins at least 60 games, to be on the pace to to lose well over 110 games almost requires an effort to do so.
When Milledge showed up late for a meeting prior to opening day, they didn't sit him. When Zimmerman blew off last Wednesday's practice, they didn't sit him. The front office lets the inmates run the asylum.
