xxi-xxv Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 If(when) Willies gets his pink slip who should take over? Jerry Manuel? Ken Oberkfell? Lee Mazzilli? Mke Hargrove? Pedro Martinez? Jeff Wilpon? GATEB? Guiseppe Franco? Tim Lewis? Guiseppe gets my vote. Sorry GATEB you finished a close 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandolphScott Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 What the fuck is fascination with Bobby V? He has as many division titles as I do. He isn't coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name is being thrown around, so I'm just wondering why he's not on the list. Calm down, calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jranieli Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Lee Mazzilli is the only logical choice at this point if he wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorized56 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I don't think Bobby V would come back anyways. I was watching a recent piece ESPN did on him and he seems pretty content in Japan where he's treated like a god. If Willie were to get canned I think Mazzilli would probabaly be the best choice.

gateb Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 The wilpons and Omar both have hinted they want to get younger. I think i'm their guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Not a Met fan, but I'd like to see Mazzilli get another shot. He had Baltimore in first place up until the All Star break and then just got fired. I think he could do something with he Mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did not have a good team and did the best he was able too with that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I would take Carter over Mazzilli, though I could live with either one. Howard Johnson would be a good candidate as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jranieli Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 who knows now. It is only May. I don't think Willie gets fired yet. Give it a month and we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Carter said the media misconstrued what he said, as always. He's not making friends if he plans on getting the job. At least Omar gave willie something like a vote of confidence yesterday. The one thing that's been pissing me off is how indirect Omar and the WIlpons have been in determining Willie's future. That had to hurt the stability in the clubhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 There will be a new manager patrolling the Mets dugout Monday night in Florida, Willie is a goner and he knows it. Reason he made those comments and the reason why he let the media know OMAR has told him nothing. Next up on the chopping block, the latin GM. Maybe he can cry racism too.

I agree with you but do you think this seals it? We basically got our asses handed to us by a triple-AAA roster this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Yogi did not say, Its over when its over and its over. Willie is as cooked as a well done steak. yet its not his fault that Jose Reyes basically cost them 2 games this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there were certain fans that said in FEB that the age of this roster cannot be ignored in relevance to the collpase and malaise they have been in for over a year.

I still can't believe what Randolph said. The guy has been dealing with NY media all of his baseball life. He brings up Isiah Thomas and Herm Edwards. Isiah is an incompetent piece of shit, and got what he deserved from the media. I don't recall Edwards being treated unfairly. I always thought he was well liked around here. I guess he didn't notice how Coughlin was treated until the Giants went on their magical run. Even Torre was ripped by the media here, and what did he ever accomplish?? Really foolish. I doubt he ever manages again if and when he gets canned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
