Is it just me or did Omar Minaya look like a whipped puppy dog in yesterday's two disastrous press conferences? Did Jeff Wilpon just tear him a new one? Even before the Adam Rubin questioning, Omar looked terrified, a major change from his usual cockiness. This is purely my amateur psychological opinion, I'm no Freud, but still. Anyone else think this way?
