You're Fired

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Who will hear these words next?

[metirish]

We have to pick one right?

Manuel

[Guest themetfairy]

I think it will be Jerry. The lack of enforcement of fundamental baseball play falls on the manager's shoulders.

[Gwreck]

My prediction (not necessarily my opinion) is Omar. I think changing managers bought him time but if the Mets don't make the playoffs this year, he should be worried for his job.

[Centerfield]

I think all are safe for the time being, but if the Mets fall short, Jerry probably takes the hit.

One year left on the contract, reasonable salary, Bobby V looming. Sorry Jerry.

Jerry's only got 1 left after this one. Of course this is a trick poll and the obvious answer, even if its not obvious this morning, is Joe Girardi, who should be coming off a 2 of 3 loss to the Mets and still hasn't beaten the Red Sox. I could see a scenario where Joe and Jerry get whacked on the same day -- first after their respectove seasons end sans playoffs -- and a Bobby V Bidding War erupts.

="Kong76":3jb0jyqk]I was slow to vote, wanted to think about it today. Mets lose a couple of ugly ones in B'more and don't play well at home against the team formerly know as the Devil Rays ... Bye-bye Jerry on Monday morning 6/22.[/quote:3jb0jyqk] No way. "Disappearing" of guys like Stokes and weird playing-time decisions notwithstanding, he's far more popular than Willie was with the players. Between that and the injury excuse (and the fact that firing him would mean the Wilpons would be paying three managers for this year), I think he'll linger for a while, like gangsta mold.

Eh, I figured I'd pick a day. I hope we don't have to live through a crappy series in B'more, etc. to find out. I didn't even consider that the Mets were still on the Willie hook. Lazy question, is this the last year or is there another? I forget.
