Willie Won't Be Omar's Amazin' Scapegoat
TEAMS: New York Mets

if the decision truly lies with Omar, as it appears it does, it's an absurd notion that the GM could even consider axing his partner in crime here. Such a move would be the height of hypocrisy and cowardice for a man - heralded as the franchise's savior as recently as six months ago - who is as much to blame for this debacle as anyone in the dugout. In fact, one could easily argue that it should be Omar, not Willie, on the hot seat today, awaiting his fate.

    There is no way Omar should be the scapegoat. Heath Bell was a joke in New York. Look at the numbers. Brian Bannister and Matt Lidstrom had decent seasons, but there is a big difference between pitching in New York during a pennant race and pitching in a place where no one cares. If these three guys are the biggest mistakes Omar made, we are a very lucky franchise. The Mets had, by far, more talent than any other team in the National League. The lineup features 8 guys that have made all star teams and the 3rd and 4th starters both won 15 games. The bullpen, hugely effective in the first half, was mismanaged to the point where Willie only had dead arms to call on.
