Jerry Manuel was tossed again yesterday, and I
couldn't be happier. Most times a manager is tossed,
the team responds with some action. Unfortunately, that did not happen for the Mets. I do like the fire in Manuel. He seems to be very engrossed in the game, and very willing to stand up for his players. He's already been ejected four times as the manager of the Mets, and once more as bench ...
I found this plaque while cleaning out my
room today. I thought it was too good to
pass up. The X-ed out Mets (top row): Victor Diaz, Xavier Nady, Willie Randolph. (center): Cliff Floyd, Paul Lo Duca. (bottom row): Steve Trachsel, Tom Glavine Why was Victor Diaz on this plaque? That's all I want to know.

There are two sides to every coin. On
one hand, I leave Johan Santana out there for
the 9th inning to work his magic. That's why he's getting the big bucks. On the flip-side, I can see why you don't want to run your "ace" out there and run up his pitch count, especially with Pedro Martinez ailing. But, your closer is unavailable, and no one has really shone through as a viable replacement. ...
Jerry Manuel took over for Willie Randolph last
month and proceeded to bring the Mets back into
the NL East race. With a 10 game win streak under his belt, his confidence began to grow. It seemed that everything Manuel touched turned to gold, but now we find that he is still just a rookie head coach running a team that is still trying to find consistency.

With six days of baseball after the All-Star
Break, the author had a lot of ideas, but
none deep enough to fill an entire column. Here are some more random musings… Just saw The Dark Knight… It was one of the better movies I’ve seen in years. It totally lived up to the hype. In my opinion, it transcended the genre of “comic book movie.” It was an insanely intense crime movie, ...

I thought Willie Randolph had the stuff to
be a manager - he watched Torre for many
years and was a baseball lifer. But it's impossible to argue with the turnaround of the Mets after his departure.
Fred Wilpon , the owner of the New
York Mets said yesterday that he “screwed up” by
allowing general manager Omar Minaya to fire manager Willie Randolph after a West Coast game against the Angels, instead of waiting until the next day ...
I agree with Joe that the Amazin's playoff
hopes have a lot to do with how Delgado
swings the bat from here on out. Though it is unrealistic to expect him to keep up the torrid pace, I do excpect him to continue to be a force in the middle of the Mets lineup. Speaking of talk radio buffoons, I can't take seriously the idea Delgado wasn't producing because Willie Randolph was the manager.
SNY Mets analyst Ron Darling today told WFAN
that former manager Willie Randolph and first baseman Carlos
Delgado were not communicating before Randolph was fired. "They won't publicly say it; the Mets don't do that, they don't publicly do anything...
