is that Steve Phillips was an incompetent as General Manager of the Mets. He used that failure to parley himself into a position on every god damned show on the WWL. Every time he opened his stupid mouth I wanted to scream “You don’t know shit about baseball! You were an abject fucking failure as a Baseball Professional! Why do these idiots think his opinion matters?”
And if that moron were fucking around and sexually harassing his coworkers, he should be fucking fired post haste.
Steve Phillips and Matt Millen should form a murder/suicide pact.
In case you missed it: Fuck Steve Phillips. Fuck him up his stupid ass. He’s a no-talent assclown.
Aside from the fact he He tried to trade David Wright for Jose Cruz Jr.
He also…
1) Passed on the chance to sign Alex Rodriguez and then publicly insulted him saying he would have turned the clubhouse into a “24 and 1” situation.
2) Paid a ton of money at the time ($44mm for 4yrs) for Kevin Appier, who was a complete bust.
3) Let John Olerud, who was arguably one of the most consistant hitters the Mets have ever had, and continued to be after he left, leave over a difference of 1 million dollars.
4) Traded Jason Isringhausen for a 38-year old Billy Taylor. Izzy would go on to be a great closer for many years for the St. Louis Cardinals.
5) Ignored Bobby Valentines plea to do everything it took to get Ichiro Suzuki, who is one of the best hitters in baseball over the past decade.
Oh did I mention HE TRIED TO TRADE DAVID WRIGHT FOR JOSE CRUZ JR?
I’ve always said, Steve Phillips never had an eye for talent.
