Back on August 10, Zack Scott had a press conference where he pined the problems of the New York Mets on the players. Everything, according to him was on the players.

That included injuries. On that, Scott pinpointed players not following protocols for the injuries saying they needed to be professional. Overall, Scott said, “You’ve got to take ownership of your career and your health.”

Well, three weeks later Scott was arrested for a DUI.

There are conflicting reports on the exact circumstances of DUI. That said, we know he failed a field test after refusing a breathalyzer and blood test. We also know he was intoxicated and in his car.

With all that’s transpired with the Mets this season, it’s fair to say the team should remove the interim GM tag and just get rid of him all together. You could also wonder if he needs help, and if the Mets should help.

Regardless, there’s no excuse for what Scott did. It’s dangerous. It’s also unprofessional showing an inability to take ownership of his career and his health.

In the end, Scott has no one to blame for himself. He’s just lucky he didn’t harm himself or someone else.
