Mets' Manuel, Minaya will get pass thanks to injuries

This is so aggravating to me. I strongly disagree with this article. They SHOULD be held responsible..injuries or no injuries, their decision making has been terrible, on and off the field!

I read this article during the Livan show today

still thinking about Omar’s role in this season. It’s complex. It’s not just the injuries, but he’s not entirely at fault.

But he's responsible for part of it, at least.

What's worse?

The fact that Minaya isnt that good and Manual sucks or the fact that even IF one or both were fired, Wilpon would just replace him with someone equally inept?

When the owner doesn’t get it, our only hope is that by blind luck some decent GM or manager would say the right thing to get hired. I hated Art Howe, he was old school and he stunk. I read an article somewhere that claimed that Wilpon only meant to interview Howe to put pressure on Seattle because the Mets were having a tough time negotiating for the rights to interview Pinella. Of course Howe blew Wilpon away in the meeting and was offered a job on the spot….what happened next was one of the worst tenures of managerial history.

Its difficult for me to look forward to the future when I have no faith in the top of the organization. Who knows how long it will take to get a new owner. The good news is that I will continue to play the mega jackpot in hopes that I can someday buy the Mets and save them from this period of wretchedness

actually, the players stunk under Howe.

I can’t say whether he has any managerial skills, but he skippered some bad teams.

for example, 2004 Opening Day lineup:
K Matsui SS
R Gutierrez 2B
C Floyd LF
M Piazza C
M Cameron CF
J Phillips 1B
K Garcia RF
T Wigginton 3B
T Glavine P

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!
