The Mets put Epstein in his place.

I've always had a bad attitude about Theo Epstein. Even when he was the GM of the Boston Red Sox.

It started when he put on his pussy face over his job title.

You see, he took credit for all of Dan Duqette's hard work in building the Red Sox farm system and thought that he should be called a "vice president".

When they wouldn't do that, he quit by storming out of a meeting, putting on a gorilla suit to hide his face and driving out the gate of Fenway past the media. He went home and pouted for the next several months. I'm assuming he continued to wear the gorilla suit.

Then, when the Red Sox rehired him, he went and took credit for a great trade put together by acting GM Jed Hoyer that brought Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell to the Red Sox in exchange for Hanley Ramirez.

Basically, the team that won the 2004 and 2007 World Series was built by Dan Duquette and Jed Hoyer but Epstein took all the credit.

Now he's in Chicago and he's trying to work his so-called "magic". I hope he fails.

He's a spoiled little brat with nice hair, a charming smile, a smug, holier-than-thou attitude and I for one was glad to see him go.

With that in mind, let me repeat something I've said several times over the last week or so: Go Mets!
