Who will manage the Mets? (split from Terry Hot Seat)

[Centerfield]

It's self aggrandizing. We the NY media are so in your face and intense only the strong can hack it! Barf.

I'm happy to hear that Dusty is out. I never thought he was all that bright, but thought he was a good fit for that team. Had great success under him. I hope they re-hire Matt Williams.

Not crazy at all about the remaining choices but admittedly know very little about them. I just wish it was over so we could focus on getting good players.

Yeah, but fans indulge it, too.

>>> "He sucks! He can't handle the fans!"

>>> >>> "So you're going to ... ?"

>>> "Abuse the SHIT out of him!"

>>> >>> "Why?"

>>> "He deserves it. He can't handle the fans!"

It's the bully's trap. I'm going to get you for no reason, and when dare to you squirm, that just proves how soft you are, and cum eo validates my decision to get you.

If this is accurate, we'll have our answer in a few days.

I hope they announce their choice late Saturday night or Sunday morning, to steal headlines and column inches from the MFYs (no matter the outcome of tonight's game)

They're not going to make their manager announcement at a time that would compete with the Yankees playing Game 7 of the ALCS. That's a battle that the Mets would definitely lose.

[MFS62]

Thankfully, so did the MFYs.
I meant after the game.

So Mickey Callaway or a mystery person.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Maybe Mickey Spillane?

This is an interesting development, if true. I've been spending the last few days getting my head around the idea of Kevin Long as Mets manager.

The Phillies also have been interested in Callaway.

[Guest d'Kong76]

At this rate, they may have to lure Terry out of semi-retirement.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Apparently this guy was the sixth guy that the Mets interviewed, the so-called mystery candidate.
