My two cents but Bernazard is one of the biggest (maybe even #1) problems in the front office. I believe he was leading the anti-Randolph contingent in the clubhouse and has always been an A1 weasel/rat. He's Omar's guy but this may be the perfect opportunity to can his rear-end.

Finally, a happy recap. >

I don't put anything past Omar. Firing Randolph and Peterson was last year's move of deperation to deflect attention from the shortcomings of Minaya's creation and this year he'll be able to blame the injuries. How much time this buys him, I'm not quite sure.

Phillips talking more smack. Although this last analysis was pretty sound, knowing he was canned by the Mets reduces credibility somewhat (or objectivity, anyway).

Redding should be DFA's for the douchy facial hair. Maybe the MFY's are on to something.

Along with Maine, Putz, etc. I do think our fortunes would have been different (and better) without the many, many injuries this year but wonder if Omar isn't secretly hoping the talent doesn't make it back on the field. I have to believe the injuries are the only thing standing between Omar and the unemployment line. This is Omar's team, staff and minor league organization -- all of whom are underperforming. Savannah and the Cyclones are the only Met farm teams over .500. Buffalo and Binghamton are a combined 69-114 for a stellar .377 winning percentage. Jerry often looks like a bystander in the dugout and Warthen has done NOTHING with any pitcher to affect any meaningful performance improvement. I'm a fan for more than 35 years and will always love the team but we're at an organizational lowpoint that rivals the early 90's or late '70's. Something's got be done and frankly it's not a matter of rebuilding. There's surely talent at the ML level -- talent that should be able to be held together -- but organizationally the front office needs to be cleaned out and fumigated, and the ML staff revamped. There is no staff in that dugout worthly of holding on to. Be bold. You want to honor the past? Let Backman, Teufel, Carter or Santana manage the team. Not enough experience??? Where's Davey Johnson? Get him back in the dugout. Get Neimann, Anderson or McDowell pitcing coach. Make a Hernandez or Darling GM. For the love of all that is good, get Mookie back in a uniform.

Welcome to the Berroa era!

Playing Crooked Cat at Orange County National tomorrow. Supposed to be a great course.

Sheff is done.

Posada thrown out at the plate. Tiggers lead the MFY's 3-2 going to the top of the 7th.

Four or five more doubles and we're right back in this game!

Already, FUCK!

Warthen must go! Just fire him right in the bottom of the first.

Maddux's last line at the end of his comments: "Let's go beat the Mets. Like the old days." Douchy...but I'd expect nothing less.

="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr"]These SHaMs look depressingly familiar. I think this is as disturbing as CSB but not nearly as cheerful/uplifting, and should close every IGT where the loss just sucks; like tonight.

What a great gig. Sounds like he also has a lot of interaction and provides comic relief to major leaguers. He was very comfortable with Dave and that was at least twice in the week baseball figured prominently -- he also played catch with Mets fan Edie Falco.

Howard PH'ing. Let's go RH.

Crawford is a very good player. Nice catch.

Buck and McCarver blow large chunks. Hate to say it but I can stomach Miller, Morgan and Phillips easier than these humps. Karros and Rose bring less than nothing to the table, too. FOX sucks.

Closer in the third inning. In a game like this, that works. Keep them down.

Reyes Maine Beltran Delgado Putz Wagner

Dave Kingman, 1982. Have to think about the other two.

Well, here's hoping Howard, Puljos, Fielder have a power drought in the second half like Wright in 2006.
