As if I need to explain this story...Minaya v. Rubin
Everyone has the ability to cram their foot down their throat, especially in sports, but as much as the Failcoeur episode of last week spoke volumes about how the Mets are performing on the field, well, Tony Bernazard and his antics and the perfect snapshot of the turmoil that is the BBall Ops of the the the New York Mets. I mean, how else are you supposed handle a situation when a member of your organization calls a minor league player a name that is also a not so polite term for a part of the female anatomy, rips off his shirt and challenges the team to a fight, and curses out a Diamondbacks scout and then a member of his staff for saying that Bernazard should handle the situation (the scout was in his seat) in between innings.
So how does Minaya handle it...by calling out Adam Rubin, questioning his motives for publishing this story (apparently Rubin wants to work in baseball and has inquired about it) and engaging in a small amount of character defamation (video at link above). Whatever happened to a standard form apology and letting the story die? Well even in the most public of positions that sometimes does not happen. It is not like Minaya cares...he has a foot out the door and will be pushed out at seasons end.
