I like Jerry and I have stuck up for him.
I'll cut him some slack for injuries and for rolling out a 5 man
rotation that might include ME soon.
However the team just looks dead. Just show up and home the 9 innings
go by. There is no life in this team.
We can talk about injuries all we want, but add in Reyes and the
unknown Left Fielder and 6 of the 8 2010 Mets are actually out there.
As I've said before, if the marketing plan for 2010 is "catch the
healthy stars" then Misters Wilpon are in for a surprise.
I found myself daydreaming yesterday that this might be a really bad
downspiral for the organization, with some really shocking yearly
attendance numbers coming in a few years, and this being Yankee Town
more than ever. If you squint hard enough you can see David Wright
being traded to the Reds.
I think the Manuel era has run its course. Might not be fair but a
change for the sake of change is needed.
The right salesman for this job is Bobby Valentine. I'm not convinced
at all that he's a World Series winning manager, but this team needs a
sideshow and V will bring it. We can worry about winning once we've
wiped the stench of collapse and quitting from the organization.
