Which Met Has Given You the Most Heartache?

24
Vote

by user Roblefko

During the past 15 years as a New York Mets fan, I've found myself hating a lot of people. And when I say "people" I mean past and present members of the New York Mets organization.

  • I hate Armando Benitez for hundreds of reasons, but most importantly for Game 1 of the 2000 World Series and September 29, 2001 against the Braves.
  • I hate Bobby Bonilla for everything. Twice.
  • Heck, I even hate Rey Ordonez for not playing well enough so we could call him the best shortstop in New York, or at least be able to put up a valid argument against Derek Jeter fans.
  • And who could not hate Mel Rojas. Benitez knows how to blow a big game but Rojas knew how to blow games of all magnitudes. Only Mel Rojas could have made me happy the Mets reacquired Bobby Bonilla.
  • Honorable mentions go to Roger Cedeno, Mo Vaughn and well, right now, since there is noone else to hate Kaz Matsui.

Anyway, who do you hate??? Click on the player below and vote for him if you hate him the most. Or, add another player to this list by clicking here. This is a wiki after all.


Your Additions

  • Kenny Rogers. That walk... that terrible, terrible walk.
  • Willie Randolph. For being stupid.
  • Art Howe For sucking.
  • Steve Phillips: Not a player, but still needs to be shot.
  • Braden Looper
  • Richie Hebner Openly stated he wouldn't play hard.
  • Dwight Gooden: He sniffed away all his talent, had coked up sex with Daryl Strawberry, gave up that homer to Mike Scoscia and then goes to the yankess and proceeds to kiss up to everyone he could over there. Then gets himself arrested on numerous occasions and the media insists on refering to him as an ex-met.
  • George Foster always got on my nerves.. especially with those sideburns.
  • Roberto Alomar: for the career that went south faster than Bud Kilmer's
  • Vince Coleman 0% heart ... firecracker thrower.
  • Derek Bell for being a punk
  • Doug Sisk I still awaken in the middle of the night with cold sweats seeing Doug Sisk - ball one, ball two, ball three (and this was every batter). He did to my nerves what Don (Full Pack) Stanhouse did to Earl Weaver. My friend and I hate Doug Sisk so much that we curse Doug Sisk's mother for bringing Doug Sisk into this world.
  • Timo Perez- Run Timo Run, there's 2 outs, celebrate later!!!!! This play set the tone and blew the 2000 world series. Who the hell jogs from 1st to 3rd and raises a hand in celebration in game 1 of the series with 2 outs on a smoking line drive to left.
  • Jeff Musselman - for being traded for Mookie Wilson.
  • Todd Zeile - Q: Who's up after Todd Zeile? A: The other team.
  • Ray Sanchez- for getting a haircut in the dugout during the game
  • Steve Phillips- for being a consistent dumbass
  • Roberto Alomar- Bailing out from oncoming runners & pussyfooting his way around the bag on double plays? Say what you will, but this makes him hands-down the best Mets leftfielder since Kevin McReynolds.
  • Juan Samuel- A bust that cost us Lenny Dykstra. This bum for Nails? Aaargghh!
  • Brett Butler for whinning about how he wanted to be traded because the Mets were having a bad year after saying how happy he was to sign when the Mets were the only team to give him 2 years. And for being a phony holy roller who stabbed Mike Busch in the back.
  • Pat Zachary, Steve Henderson, Doug Flynn, & Dan Norman] for Tom Seaver...What the f#*k! were they thinking? no offense to those four players from the Reds, but c'mon. I guess sometimes you just got to hit rock bottom.
  • Mickey Lolich
  • Braden Looper for screwing up pretty much every game the mets were about to win in 2005, and smiling while he does it.
  • Mo Vaughn for draining a load of money from the mets while sitting at home watching the games.
  • Timo Perez for screwing up the one time the mets might of won the WS, against the yankees of all teams.
  • kris benson for having a really hot wife.
  • Kaz Matsui for sucking huge ass in his entire time as a met.
  • Jason Isringhausen, Paul Wilson and Bill Pulsipher for being the only thing Mets fans had to look forward to in the 90's. Thanks for the memories...wait there were none */
  • Rich Rodriguez for being the worst mop-up man ever. He would enter with a 10 run lead and five minutes later the tying run would be at the plate.

I added Rogers. The whole thing bothered me. His interview with the New York media when he was traded for was horrific, basically a "why me" moan-and-groan.

Tony Fernandez was the BIGGEST MUTT to ever don a Mets jersey. The guy was an great player for Toronto and San Diego. Then he comes to the Mets and hits .225 in 48 games to start the 1993 season before being shipped back to Toronto where he wit .306 the rest of the year. Thinking about him makes by blood boil. MUTT!!! FRIGGIN' MUTT!!! (Frank from Scotch Plains, NJ)

how can anyone blame Armando Benitez more than Timo Perez for Game 1 of the 2000 WS? IF Timo would've actually ran out a play (I mean, its only the World Series), Armando would've had at least a 2-run lead to work with.... he takes the cake all-time, no doubt. Besides, he was a half a season wonder, who has never reayy done anything else.

Juan Samuel could have hit .300 with 30 homers and I still would have hated him more than any Met. Joe McIlvaine should be released in the woods so that I may hunt him.

there is only one answer to this question. yes we should hate kenny rogers for his idiotic walk to andruw jones. yes we should hate rey ordonez for hitting 1 homerun a year. yes we should hate bobby bonilla, kaz matsui and john franco for obvious and varied reasons. but the man who above all has given us the most recent to want to commit murder, the man who lost us the world series in the year 2000, the man who should be castrated is none other than ARMANDO BENITEZ. that fuck.

How about Mike 'School Boy" Hampton who did have the balls to go after the Punks of the South Bronx after MF Clemmens tried to kill Piazza. Others I hate with a passion:

M. Donald Grant-The Osama Bin Laden of NY Baseball Al Harazin-Retarted GM Steve Phillips-Sexaholic GM Armando Benitez-Gives shit a bad name. Richie Hebner-Here's a middle finger right back at ya Digger Kenny Rogers-First transgendered baseball player Vince Coleman-Who's Jackie Robinson

Brett Saberhagen-white trash

What about Steve Reed? Reed was traded with Jason Middlebrook by the San Diego Padres to the New York Mets in exchange for Bobby Jones, Jason Bay and Josh Reynolds on July 31, 2002. Jason Bay is now a stud and would look awfully good in the Mets OF.

Who remember's Jim Gosger. He came up to pinch hit in the bottom of the 8th against the Pirates in September 1969, during Bob Moose's no hitter with two men on via walks. Cleon Jones had just come off the DL, but Gil Hodges in his wisdom sent up Gosger instead, who struck out on three pitches.
