Dear Jerry,
Congratulations on your recent promotion to manager of the New York Mets. I have already said a prayer for you and I will be sure to light a candle for you on Sunday as well.
You probably have already been warned about staying on Tony Bernazard's good side, and going to the SNY Gift shop and loading up on Loudmouths T-shirts and an SNY cap to wear at all times when you're not in a Mets uniform. However, those things alone may not be enough to enhance your job security.
As a show of good faith, we at Mets Merized Online wanted to give you these additional 10 tips with the hope that you take them to heart because your livelihood may depend on it.
1. Keep your friends close and your enemies 3,000 miles away.
2. If you ever see a machete laying around in the backroom, run like hell.
3. Pitch counts may be hazardous to your health. Ignore them at all times.
4. If your going to scold one of your...

With Jerry Manuel giving out this absolutely fantastic quote today, what's the over/under on blogs that post something strikingly similar to this poster below? I'm going to go with 100 and I think I'm being conservative.

Jose Reyes - He's No Jimmy Rollins…

June 18, 2008
The New York Mets continue to try and challenge the Knicks for the title of most dysfunctional team in New York. A day after firing manager Willie Randolph, Jose Reyes is making his own headlines by throwing a tantrum in Anaheim.
After leading off the game with a single, Reyes appeared to be walking a little gingerly around the first base bag. Interim manager Jerry Manuel (no...

Willie 'splains all
He's got no reason to b.s. any of this. Minaya may have had his own neck on the line by the Wilpon brain trust, and the whole thing may have been breaking his heart, but that Willie had to drag his own firing out of him was lame.
I heard Minaya on "Mike & the Mad Dog" and he claimed that the whole firing was not pretty, but it was pretty much the way he wanted...
Minaya's Folly
The Mets fan base doesn't know what to do with itself. Neither it seems, do my colleagues in the media. The same people that have been calling for Willie Randolph's head since the end of last season, seem to have softened the last week because Randolph showed a sense of humor – for the first time in four years -- about his inevitable situation.

A funny thing happened in the last 48 hours or so. I was reading Newsday and some of the other online Mets beat writer blogs and I saw the name Tony Bernazard in one of the titles. I took a sip of my coffee and then muttered "Damn, I really hate this guy!"
"That does it" I thought, "I'm writing a blog about this piece of crap." I stopped and thought...

I learned of Willie's demise Tuesday morning on my commute to work. I instantly felt nauseous. I knew that letting Willie go was a strong possibility and I was not necessarily against the move. What made me sick was the handling of it. I understand that it may be standard operating procedures to fire a manager after a game, and sometimes that occurs at night. I think I feel bad...

Now That The Dust Has Settled...Well, Kind Of....
Some thoughts on Jerry Manuel and Omar Minaya, and what's next for the Mets.
Hurdle’s Other Dilemma: Replacing Willie Randolph
Four weeks ago, the New York Met made a trip to Coors Field.
Right around that same time, despite rumors that Willie Randolph's Mets tenure was nearing it's end, Clint Hurdle announced that he had selected Randolph as one of his coaches for the all-star game at Yankee Stadium.
Having heard those rumors, and then having watched [...]
Willie Randolph pens his own article
Read Willie Randolph's own article, appearing in the Daily News. It's very cool to see, almost play-by-play, how the whole thing went down between himself and Omar Minaya.

Have the Mets gone gangsta????????
The Mets Didn't Fire Randolph; Everyone Else Did
Willie Randolph has been fired, and he has the Internet to thank. And sports talk radio. And the newspapers. And the TV people. New York Mets GM Oscar Minaya? He's the least culpable, ironically -- though he's the guy who pulled the trigger, or to be more accurate, the plug.
Randolph, the now deposed Mets manager, was taken off life support at the rather symbolic time...
Early Morning Madness: Attitude edition
So far, so good. Sure it's only two games, but I like the way Jerry Manuel is handling himself, and more importantly, his team.

Wille Randolph went from being public enemy #1 to a martyr. Time to stay quiet until the Yankees come calling.
Renaissance
It's been a while since I've written down my thoughts about this team. It's been a while, really, since I took the time to sit down and think about this team, for whatever reason. In between laughing about how Moises can't stay healthy for six innings straight and then laughing some more about how six innings is, oh, infinity times better than what El Duque has pitched this year...
