LOW-CARB DIET LINKED TO RACISM


he should've tried that cabbage soup diet, I hear it works wonders

The last time behavior this erratic was blamed on a crash diet, Donald Manes was recovering from suicide attempt no. 1 (and getting ready for no. 2).

And while I certainly don't wish a simliar fate on soon-to-be canned Mets scout Bill Singer, he really could've come up with a better excuse for his self-destruction routine at last week week's winter meetings than the following :

(from today's NY Daily News) :

In the immediate aftermath of the incident in Phoenix, Singer met privately with Duquette and offered his explanation for the incident, saying that he had been on a low-carbohydrate diet, which caused him to suffer a chemical imbalance in conjunction with drinking alcohol.

"That didn't wash with Jim and it sure as hell won't wash with Fred," a Mets source said in reference to Mets owner Fred Wilpon. "Plain and simple, there's no excuse for that kind of behavior, and there's no saving this guy."
