At least you can get rid of that gawd awful gm that did just slightly more than jack shit to fix the pitching staff.
Omar Minaya supposedly had his contract extended for 4 years. LOL LAWL Only the Mets would give an extension to the architect of 2 epic and embarrassing failures in a row. I want to work for the Mets.
He should have been fired and while I like Jerry Manuel I think after these two season he needs to go too. The team needs a fresh makeover when they move to the new stadium.
Only Joe Smith survives the pen. Luis Castillo is out, Easley is a gamer but he's too old, Pedro is gone, move Murphy to second base or try to find a good second baseman, Ollie Perez is out (he'll command too much $$$), get a better bench (only keep Evans and Endy), give Fernando Martinez a shot to make the team, give Niese a shot to be the #5 starter...etc. What a mess. Omar has a LOT of work to do. 4 year extension and same manager. lol my god man..
Omar Minaya got the talent there. The players just didn't put up when the pressure was on. BTW, a healthy Billy Wagner would have put the Mets into the playoffs with a couple games to spare.
Sounds awfully similar to last years " But if we had Johan Santana , I guarantee that we would have won one more game!" spiel. Well guess what? You had Santana and still could not make it. So, if you guys pick up say, CC Sabathia and Mark Texiera, and do not make the playoffs, what will be your excuse then? Face it, this team is not built to handle any pressure whatsoever. They suck, plain and simple.
