An outsider's view...

I think the Mets organization is barking up the wrong tree here.  Outside of a vew games, do you honestly think there would be a drastic differenece in your season if you started the year with somone else at the helm?  I don't.  Perhaps instead of just ousting the coaching staff, the Mets should review thier roster and see if they actually have the (healthy) talent that they THOUGHT they had.  I'm going to say.... no.  Out of the Mets entire roster, I'd take two guys.  Wright and Santana...  IMO everyone else is either often injured or a shadow of their former selves.  I honestly think the Mets front office went into the season thinking that they had a better team than they actually did.  How do you blame the Manager for players getting hurt, not hitting, loosing power, walking everyone, and blowing saves like it's going out of style.  Are you telling me that if there was a different manager that they wouldn't have used Heilman, Wagner, Alou, Delgado, or Beltran the same way that Willie did (in most instances)?  I doubt it.  I know it's much easier to blame the manager when the right thing to do would be to open your eyes and see that maybe you just need better players...  Good luck guys...  Your next manager should last all of two months.

you seriously think we disagree?

Have you read anyone on this website claiming that Willie Randolph was the reason the Mets have slumped? Have you read this website at all before coming here to crow?

Gotta love a Phillies fan

Oh, wait, no I don’t. Especially one who neglected to actually read what people are saying on this site about the Mets/Willie/etc. Or, being a Philly fan, might not know how to read. Either way.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
