Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Not sure why met fans want an A ball manager :confused:

Nobody makes the jump from A ball to the majors and certainly not in New York :2

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

We've had all the big money managers and where did it get us??? NOWHERE!! At least Wally is a down to earth ex-Met. He was semi successful in managing A ball. Manuel and Randolph NEVER had control of the team...something I think Wally will have right from the start.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

The last Big money manager the Mets had was Bobby V and it got you a World Series appearance.
Manuel and Randolph never had control of the team because the Players had the front office's ear and were allowed to ignore the chain of command.
Sandy Alderson is the man who discovered Art Howe, and that is exactly the type of manager he wants.
The second backman interview is window dressing.
It's to appease the fans and show Jeff Wilpon that Wally got a fair shake.
In the coming days you will see articles leaking how Wally's not ready yet but the Mets think he has what it takes in the future :2

It looks like the Mets manager vacancy is between Terry Collins & Bob Melvin. If Collins gets the job they may look at Melvin for the bench coach.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Looks like the job is going to Terry Collins.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mets announce Tom Collins as their new manager....barely beating out Jack Encoke, Harvey Wallbanger, and Captain Morgan....:r:r....Who is Terry Collins?

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Mets are condisering signing Chris Young. WTF??? Come on man!! Maybe I can get signed too?

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Pedro Feliciano declines arbitration. Even though we was sup-par last year, this leaves no left hander in the bullpen. Let's hope they don't try to convert Ollie into a reliever. :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

At an affair this weekend. Who shows up all the way from Citi Field?

Don't blame me :D

I bet you thought life without Omar would be better :sh

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Sandy Aldersons claim is the Mets "will make some quiet, low-key additions". I guess this is the first of many...quanity over quality. This next season is gonna be a rough one to endure.

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter
 

Nah...looking forward to "Mets Banter 2011" :r:r

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter

Re: New York Mets 2010 Banter

All hope is lost :tu
