As I delay today's excursion into misery as much as possible (MLBN is "graciously" letting me see both today's and Wednesday's matinees), I have to note that the four-day travesty is not merely on the individual players (thanks, Pete/Squirrel/Mr Pointy/Holmes/So-So!) nor on FIRE MIKE SARBAUGH NOW, the worst 3B coach in the bigs, but that Mendoza also deserves a serious portion of blame, even if it's probably best to wait until October to bounce his ass, too.

One day of the players acting like lazy spoiled ****s who got high sniffing each others' farts was bad enough. To let it spread all weekend long without blasting them is frankly disgusting.

Not to mention Mendoza's own ****-ups:

• Yeah, yeah, if McNeil just gets the out at 1B rather than throwing home in the 3rd inning of Thursday's game, then Holmes never gets the chance to drop Pete's throw and we don't get behind, blah blah blah, bad Squirrel, I get it.

Of course the whole reason McNeil even contemplated throwing home was because some ****head had the infield playing in, with a 2-1 lead, in the THIRD INNING, against Miami! What, ****head, you thought that if you let the Fish tie it up, the Billion-Dollar Babies would never score another run, is that it? You worthless brain-dead pile of alleged brain cells. "Oh, no, a tie game in the THIRD against MIAMI!! The HORROR!" **** off, Col. Kurtz

And then on Friday, sending Torrens out there to extend what Gary rightly called a "travesty" (Howie: "Maybe I'm from a different generation, but I can't imagine anyone finding this entertaining at this point") was utter and complete ass. Especially knowing that your paying customers had to sit through this **** since it was Fireworks Night and they didn't want to leave without seeing what they had paid for.

It's one thing for the losing team to try and end the game without letting any more of their pitchers' delicate little egos get bruised and so putting the spare infielder on the mound or whatever. (It's still gross and I really don't like that the Mets now have a "record" amount of runs scored in a home game that needs at least six asterisks, given that 31.6% of those runs scored against non-pitchers…but I at least semi-understand where Clayton McCullough was coming from.)

But it is unmitigated BULL**** for Mendoza to basically taunt Miami by putting Torrens on the mound with the giant lead. "Ha-ha, we're so far ahead, I don't even have to use one of the 88 guys in the bullpen because HEAVEN FORBID one of them has to throw an extra inning! We can finish the game with Torrens!" Made me ****ing sick. Bravo to Luis for giving up enough gophers to force Mendoza to have Stank get two whole outs and screw up Mendoza's plans to protect the Poor Delicate Babies' arms by making a mockery of the game. What a ****ing ****wad.

And then followed Saturday and Sunday, but I was pretty near checked out by then. All I know is that right now I hope the Tigres beat us 30-0 in this series, and I hope we go 0-10 on the road trip and let Stinkinnati have the "honor" of finishing 6th.

Fork this Spit, as the board forces me to say.
