NY Mets to Manuel and Minaya, "You're Fired!"

On Monday, October 4th, the Mets organization released Manager Jerry Manuel and General Manager Omar Minaya. It is the first step in restructuring the team in hopes of not repeating the past sad three years.

COO Jeff Wilpon and CEO Fred Wilpon expressed their disappointment with the direction the team had gone in a press conference.

"Our family has owned the New York Mets for a very long time. We've had a lot of good years and too many poor years," said Fred Wilpon. "I must say that the last four years have been the most painful to me."

It's about time in my opinion. Personally I am tired of rooting for a team that just can't seem to get the job done. Sure Omar Minaya brought in great players Carlos Beltran, Billy Wagner, and Johan Santana, but you have to be more than a one trick pony. You have to do more than just bring awesome players to the franchise, Minaya you needed to make better decisions with how the Mets were run. We fell in love with Jerry Manuel's up front, in your face attitude. Oh he entertained us with his philosophical way of dealing with things. But you made too many stupid mistakes, and that is unforgivable.

So now the New Yrok Mets are in search for their replacements. There are plenty names in the hat, some look promising. Like you, I will watching the Wilpon's closely over the next couple of months. This is their time to shine, so they better not let us down.
