It’s bad enough the way the Mariners have mocked the Mets with their hitting and pitching the last two nights at Shea, but the very idea that R.A. Dickey would have taken to the mic at the Village Underground late Tuesday and started freestyling about how much bigger he is than Oliver Perez and how he’s got no fewer rings than Carlos Beltran and how the Mets “couldn’t do without me” (referring of course to losing in a large, embarrassing amount [1])…well, behavior like that [2] would be simply uncalled for.
Though it wouldn’t be wholly unreflective of reality.
Jerry Manuel may get mad good [3], but by every measure that doesn’t encompass style [4], I’d say we’re getting outgangsta’d pretty badly of late.
