B-Mets “Underage Drinking”

Kind of irrelevant in light of everything else, I guess. But from Adam Rubin’s zinger in the Daily News today:

While the 52-year-old Bernazard’s actions were over-the-top no matter what the motivation, alleged underage drinking on the team apparently was one motivation for the eruption, an organization source said. Still, sending players to counseling rather than challenging them to a rumble might have been a more appropriate course of action.

Apparently, Bernazard’s incompetent enough to screw up his own cop out. There have been only two players on the B-Mets active roster all year who are younger than 21 (Ruben Tejada and Jenrry Mejia). Rubin also contends that this incident occured within the last week or so. Mejia, however, has not pitched since June 23rd.

Regardless, even if Bernanzard is the new Al Goldis/Bill Livesey, there is no way I see the Wilpon’s letting him  gt away with this going public. It is a question of when, not if.
