Well, I guess it was inevitable. The Mets hit an inevitable slump,
and people start wondering alound about Gary Carter. This is especially
remarkable in light of the fact that Carter has been one of the few
Mets this season who has consistently produced in a manner befitting a 
winning professional baseball player. But I guess there have always 
been the expectations. Expectations unfulfilled at Montreal -- 
witness the bitter departing remarks by Dawson and Raines 
(who, I guess, were only along for the ride!).

So Hernandez doesn't get along with Carter. Is this Keith's excuse for
hitting .250 this year?? Whatever, it is no excuse for the Mets not winning: 
Reggie Jackson and Thurman Munson despised each other, all the way 
to two World Series Championships. And Carter is producing, Hernandez
is not.

Even if the Mets never win a pennant with Gary Carter, it is infinitely
more entertaining watching him play than any other catcher in baseball right
now (including Mike Fitzgerald). And that, friends, is what it's all about.
