Can The New York Mets Bring Jerry Manuel Back After This Kind Of September?

SS

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.

Jerry? Back? 2010? Uhm, no. We can't. We really need a new assklown. But the Wilpons can't afford a new assklown. Hell, we haven't been able to afford a real left fielder since mid-2006 (paging 2010 assklown Angel Pagan!) So why are you bothering the Mets with trivial things like hiring a capable manager, Shannon? Just be happy and enjoy your Dodgers batting helmet tonight.

It's time to face it, Chief: this franchise is going to suck for the foreseeable future. P.T. Barnum could manage this team and it wouldn't make a difference. That stench to which you refer isn't going anywhere until even bigger changes are made.
