If Manuel wants to rip himself, we won't disagree

While Manuel makes bad mistakes (e.g., removing Stokes and allowing Pelfry, a mediocre four inning pitcher, to continue pitching when it was clear he had lost it) the prime culprits are the Wilpons and their pal, Omar Minaya. No depth, no productive farm system, no hitters, etc.

Another lost season.

I have from day one,so im not just jumping on Manuel now that he is losing.He is not a New York manager,we need someone who will not be afraid to make changes to shake up this team...just take a look at Colorado since they got a new manager ,their 14 out 15,turn their season around

I agree Omar must GO with Manuel,if the Wilpons do this the season can be saved and into the post season,if not,AS WE USED TO SAY IN BROOKLYN"WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR"

Los Mets ..... countdown to the Sept. collapse.

Grammar....FAT Wilma....Grammar!

Ken Davidoff, you are so on the money!

Perhaps, if Tatis were allowed to play in 10 straight games, perhaps if the clearly overmatched Fernando Martinez were sent down sooner, Tatis might actually find his stroke.

Perhaps if high average, Mr. Wright, would actually swing at a close called third strike with men on base, he would have more fruitful at bats.

I can't help but see that Mr. Wright's average is in some part due to some very fortunate placement of some poorly hit balls.

Remember, pitch Mr. Wright inside above the belt with fastballs, which he cannot get around on and hit, then go low and away.

He seems to not be hitting for any power, on the road as well, due to apparently reduced bat speed. It is not just at Citifield. He has developed a very very long stroke - you can clock it with a calendar.

eah but parnell is white so for that reason is OK ., if he will be Latin., We will have all the 9 years old Mets fans in this site talking about Omar Minaya (who they call Minya)

Nostephan.....countdown very soon he has AIDS., Jeter gave to him

Ken, thanks for shedding more light on the fact that Jerry Manuel doesn't understand the concept of "leverage".

It only took 1-2 months of bad managing to finally have an article written about Jerry... His decisions are just mid blowing.

oK LETS LOOK AT DEAL. bY HALF TIME WE WSHOULD HAVE ALL THE GUYS BACK. i BELIEVE WE WILL HAV BEST PITCHING INCLUDING BULL PEN CERTAINLY IN OUR DIVISION as THE SUMMMER WEARS OUT THE OTHE TEAM WE WILL BE READY TO GO WITH A STRONGER TEAM THAM WE STARTED. cORA IS GREAT mUROHY IS DECENT AT !b AND STARTRING TO HIT. sCHEFFIEL IS REMENDOUS ESOPECIALLY GETTING REST. i AM EXCITED i THINK THE CALVARY CALL COMES AND THE GOOD GUYS ALWAYS WIN YOU'LL SEE.

aLL YOU GREAT PRESS GUYS YOU KNOW WHOFAILE DURINE TESTS 8 YEARS AGO, WHO IS JAKING IT ETC BUT TWO QUESTIONS WHY HUGH POWER SHORTAGE BY WRIGHT( FORGET THE BIGGER BALL PARK CRAP)HE DOES NOT HIT THEM WHEN HE IS ON THE ROAD wHAT IIS REALLY WRONG WITH REYES???...aLKI PROBLEM MAYBE WHAT AND WHEN DOEWS HE GET BACK IF AT ALL.
mETS LIKE gESTAPO IN MANAGING NEWS yUCK YUCK

Why doesn't anyone mention the lack of production from both Beltran & Wright? They're both hitting well into the 300's but their RBI & HR totals are dismal. Is the park too large, is there a lack of base runners in front of them, are they just not clutch ball players this year? I live in Florida & I've heard very little in the written media or TV about the quantity of injuries on this team, why?
