 Gotta love the fire in Jerry Manuel
Gotta love the fire in Jerry Manuel
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 ...

(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.

Early Morning Madness: Jerry pulled a Willie edition
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. ...

 Coaching Mistakes Hurt Mets
Coaching Mistakes Hurt Mets
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.

 Further Musings
Further Musings
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, ...

New York Mets in 1st Place - Hard to Argue?
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.

Wrong About Delgado
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.
