Citing extensive United Nations research as well as personal observations, former Mets manager Willie Randolph has concluded that last year's historic late-season collapse of the New York Mets was caused by anthopogenic global warming.
"This is a settled issued," declared Randolph.
"The Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change has investigated every possible explanation for our cataclysmic stretch run choke. The only logical conclusion is that global warming caused severe imbalances in the microclimates in and around Shea Stadium."
Pressed for details Mr. Randolph explained that temperature readings in left field were .0002 of a degree (Celsius) higher than readings in right field.

Is there anything that global warming can’t do? :)
So far the sports page has been one of the few places that has not been completely taken over by global warming fear-mongering.
If he’s serious, he should have been fired long ago.
Literally LOL.
Is global warming all that bad? It seems that the USC football team’s fortunes began to turn around about the time concerns over anthropogenic global warming came into vogue.
The Mets demise started in the 1980s....as global warming started to take off. We can only reverse this trend....if global cooling occurs...and Rusty Staub and Mookie Wilson are brought back....with proper climate control & carbon credits. I also think that Al Gore should be brought in as GM...with solar panels installed over the right field area....perhaps to reflect at the right time in the eyes of the opposing team.
Go ahead and laugh but a couple of years ago Sports Illustrated came out with an article that actually suggesting that if global warming had been in effect in 1954 then Willie Mays never would have been able to make that famous catch he made in the 1954 world series. I kid you not.
