Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for the Mets...
"Tony Bernazard, the team's vice president for player development, pulled off his shirt and challenged the Double-A Binghamton Mets in the tirade, about 10 days before the All-Star break. He in particular targeted middle infield prospect Jose Coronado, according to the report.
Binghamton had gone 1-6 during an early July homestand that coincided with the outburst, losing three of those games by at least seven runs. The team was 37-58 and in last place in the Eastern League Northern Division entering Wednesday's scheduled games.
Allegations of underage drinking on the team were apparently another motivation for Bernazard's tirade, an organization source said, according to the report (ESPN)."
Hilarious. The Mets are just a silly organization, but I have to say I kind of like this. The team is obviously a mess. They are in last place, the players are getting wasted, and this guy just said fuck it and challenged everyone to a fight. Badass...
