WHACK BACK AT VAC
Steve Weisgal: Something is happening with Jets fans that I’ve never seen before: They don’t expect a miracle season from Sam. They are OK with him struggling this year. My completely unscientific guess is 60 percent are willing to give Sam some slack. On any other franchise that’s 99 percent. Vac: I believe this, actually. I hope I’m not proven terribly
wrong Tuesday morning.
John Buonagura: Aaron Boone’s outburst earned him a one game suspension, but it was nothing compared to the managers of the past. Billy Martin, Lou Pinella, Casey Stengel all get higher marks for style.
Vac: But it was nice to see he learned a thing or two about catching technique from his old man.
@damonroxas: What the Wilpons are doing to David Wright is a damn crime. He’s your captain and face of your franchise and you are forcing him not to play over $2.6M? If they were in the playoff hunt I’d get it, but this is unacceptable. How are they allowed to continue owning the team? Vac: These are questions the Wilpons themselves really ought
to be answering for their public, which deserves answers.
Rodrigo Saenz: Maybe the Mets’ credibility gap is why I’ve been to Citi Field only once this year and don’t plan on going back anytime soon.
Vac: Memo to the men who own the Mets: This isn’t a lonely voice crying out in the wilderness. He has lots of company.
