Well Looks Like Manuel will Get a Break

Seems the Mets are truly jinxed this year... All these injuries and now Beltran too!

All this leads up to JM getting another shot next year.

Yikes. Watching yesterday's game just confirmed how bad his in-game strategy is. Bobby Parnell was struggling yet

JM decided a hit and a homerun was not cause enough to pull the guy. Oh please get a grip. Then to top it off with good measure he gives Sean Green the ball to hold the lead ... That was another joke... I almost punched the TV.

Simply put , this guy is a loser and out of touch with reality. They will never win with him at the helm . He just does not have the intelligence to lead effectively.

Too bad Site Bot is on the DL right now, when we need it most.

Some notes on this FanPost:

“Simply put , this guy is a loser and out of touch with reality. They will never win with him at the helm . He just does not have the intelligence to lead effectively.”

Why is he a loser? Cite examples.
In what way is he out of touch with reality? Cite examples.
Why won’t the Mets ever win with him as manager? Be cogent.
In what way(s) is he lacking in intelligence? Cite examples.
Who do you propose as an alternative and why?

I don’t disagree with your general premise, but you should take that idea and expand upon it, developing it into something that furthers the conversation instead of stymying it.

Right, bringing in a guy who’s given up 2 runs in his last 16 innings was an AWFUL decision

</end sarcasm>

Manuel makes his share of mistakes, but there’s no better alternative, unless you think Bobby V is going to leave Japan mid-season. Manuel’s what we’ve got, he seems to have a good rapport with the players, he may make dumb moves, but it’s unfair to call him a loser that’s out of touch with reality, and especially to claim we’ll never win with him as manager…..

he’s a loser that’s out in touch with reality.

that said, we can win with him (although not with this roster) just because i don’t believe any manager can really hurt a team that much. although jerry is making me rethink that.

well

this one is broken up into paragraphs, although some of them seemingly end/begin mid-sentence. We’re getting better, at least.
