Whether the front office distractions kill the season will be an interesting development to watch (see the Dodgers, as well)
I'm not sure that the franchise was ever that proud, though.

Getting rid of Manuel and Minaya was a great move. The Mets organization was starting to look like it only had "latino vision". They seemed to overpay every latino up and comer who had a good year, on top of giving every latino has-been another chance...Not that I wanted to see the race angle in all of this, but it was pretty hard to miss. Things should start looking up from here on out, as long as they've got an open-minded gm.
