Cliff Floyd was a guest on WFAN radio today and told Mike Francesca that the Mets are lacking chemistry and that things are not working for this group of players.

He also talked about his days on the Mets and the fateful management decision in the 2006 NLCS.

Here is the link to Metsblog with some excerpts of the interview:

I am not sure who Floyd’s friends in the clubhouse are, but apparently he is getting inside information about the current team and that lack of chemistry and veteran leadership has hurt the team greatly the last three seasons.

Floyd was one of David Wright’s mentors in 2004 and 2005 when Wright was a rookie and Floyd has marveled as recently as last year at how much of a leader that Wright has become for the Mets.

They are still close, and call me naive, but I can’t honestly see David Wright telling a former Mets teammate about a lack of chemistry in the clubhouse.

Mike Francesca has been on a rampage this winter about the Mets having a “bad clubhouse” and all Mets players he has spoken to until today have flat out denied that they do not get along or lack leadership.

Well, it has been the longest stretch since the inception of the Stache that I have gone without writing. I don’t know why exactly. Maybe it is because we, as a whole, have written about every possible thing that there is to write about. That’s probably not the truth. Maybe it’s because this off season was supposed to be a time where management fixed all of the team’s problems, whether it was with players or personnel.

Low and behold, Carlos Beltran is already on the sideline and there has already been a fair amount of drama due to the fact that there was miscommunication between he and the team. Beltran claimed that Minaya gave him his blessing to have his injury fixed, but apparently the Mets wanted Beltran to seek a third opinion.

Are they out of their effing mind?
