>Gary Carter Backpedals (Too Late)

Gary said, “I’m not campaigning for anything. I was simply asked a question. The media creates this. It came out on ESPN that Willie’s (Randolph) job was in jeopardy and that there were names mentioned and the names were Jerry Manuel, who is presently the bench coach, and Jim Fregosi’s name.

WHAT??? Not a single hunan being on Planet Earth mentioned Jim Fregosi.

“I didn’t say,’Oh, gosh, yeah I’m campaigning, and I want that job!’ Knowing the way that the Mets are anyway and the regime that is in place with Omar Minaya, I don’t even think there is going to be a chance if anything happens with Willie. I think the next guy in line is Jerry Manuel.”

About that he’s right. And we shall boo. And this officially makes him an Expo not a Met. Can we retro-actively remove the co-captain nonsense?

>Willie Stays!

Willie stays for now. I’m BBQing with friends and family so a quick hit from the Mets Police.

No guarantee from owners on how long.

Mistake on the Mets part – the fans stay unruly, the team stays distracted.

>Willie Watch: The Meeting Is Now

NY Post reporting the meeting was at 2, and that Wilpons showed up at 1:20. My spidey sense thinks they all announce Willie will be the guaranteed manager for the year (to shut up dopey bloggers). Second place spidey sense says Jerry Manuel becomes “interim manager” for the year (boy that would be silly on several levels).

Unrelated – why are some basbeall teams off today? Hey MLB, nice head.

Also: The Mets’ June 1 home game against the Dodgers has been switched to an 8 p.m. start to accommodate ESPN. (NY Post)
