So Madden thinks that if the Mets acted with more restraint, they wouldn't be "hated" by the opposition even though the team has a high payroll and is from NY, both of which makes other teams jealous. Perhaps if the Mets acted with the class of Shane Victorino, or were solid citizens like Brett Myers, the other teams would lay down during critical September games. Madden went for the easy story, as usual. Wally Matthews must be kicking himself for not writing this, again, today. There are many reasons that the Mets are home, none of which have to do with the Mets behavior.
