Randolph fired, Jerry Manuel made interim manager

Jerry Manuel?

Time to sign James Baldwin.

Omar did not HAVE to fire Willie. In fact, if it wasn't for Jeff Wilpon's stupidity, Willie would still be here.

The Mets have a PR firm. They would have been wise to use them here.

What a disgraceful job...a midnight local time, 3 AM EST firing. Incredible.

Awful first showing for Manuel. He upset both Reyes(pulled him after a very minor injury when Reyes wanted to stay in), and Wright(forced him to DH when Wright asked to play the field). Manuel just has NO ability to get this team ready to play

Apparently no one does. Willie's laughing now.

[Halladay_is_God]

all this 3am est shit is a damn moot point at best

they ****ing finished their game after 1am EST

[ljshorty89]

They won 5 of 7 series for willie. They won 3 of 4 games for willie. They were finally starting to hustle for willie. They fired him too late, they should have left willie alone.....they waited too long

reyes needs to get over himself. It shouldnt be all about him.

Yeah and they could have fired him at 11am the previous day or the day before that and so on. To travel all the way to LA just to fire a guy after a win is retarded.

How is this Jose being about himself? Jose wanting to fight through the injury is about the team and NOT himself. Manuel is a jerk who just doesn't seem to have the respect of all these players. Reyes acted childish, but that was solely because he wanted to win the game, and he wanted to help lead the team.

[love_that_reefer]

If Reyes hurt himself further, that is hurting the team.

[ljshorty89]

But, when Manuel plays him today and admits that the injury was minor, and Reyes probably didn't have to come out, we see how Manuel was the one who hurt the team, and Reyes just wanted to give his all.
