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.
