Three BUMS

The Mets were in Washington this week to face the Nationals.
On Tuesday, the team took a trip to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to visit with wounded soldiers. The entire team went. Well, almost the entire team.
Carlos Beltran, Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez each missed the trip. Beltran said he had something else going on, Perez wouldn't discuss it and Castillo said he doesn't like to see that sort of thing. I would ask Castillo, who does like to see wounded soldiers with limbs missing?
Mike Pelphrey and R.A. Dickey, two Mets on the trip were disturbed by the previously mentioned trio for not going. Dickey didn't want to say too much but he clearly was annoyed.
The Mets are a dysfunctional franchise. From ownership to the front office and the underachieving, overpaid slackers in uniform, the Mets are a disaster.
Beltran, Castillo and Perez are heading into their final year on their contracts next season. Each has been unhappy and wants a new deal. Beltran is damaged goods, Castillo is way over the hill and Perez has been paid 12-million this year for a whopping total of zero wins. I have just as many wins as Perez.
As far as I'm concerned, Beltran, Castillo and Perez can all go to hell. I would tell each of them to GFY.
As for the other Mets who made the trip to Walter Reed, good job. That is what being a true Major Leaguer is all about.
