Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)
The biggest disappointment ?
Hyperbole at its finest.
Seriously, the last two years have been crap for Bruce that is true but guys would kill to have had his career.
This is the exact talk I remember hearing about O'Neil, Davis etc...
Maybe the expectations are what is out of line more than the guys career growth?
And from what I have read the Reds backed out of that deal, not the Mets
Both teams had issues with the trade, for reasons that are real

The talks between the Mets and Reds regarding Bruce “may have lost momentum,” ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick tweets. Cincinnati is “having second thoughts” about the package being proposed by New York, per the report. Meanwhile, Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweets that New York has concerns both with Bruce’s salary and his inconsistencies at the plate.
