Phil Wood just said that all the MLB scouts that he talks with said that if the Nats fired Manny, the Mets would hire him the next day, make him the bench coach, and he'd be their manager heir apparent.

And that's supposed to be a bad thing?  Sabotage the Mets!

Phil would know, since he's an "insider" and we're mere message board posters and bloggers.

But if those scouts were in the stands at the Nats game, how can they have the pulse of the Mets clubhouse???

So, when was the last "no" vote Manny received?  The yeses have been going up steadily but that "no" has been stuck on 17 for quite a while.

I have.  I have a Cornell Hockey jersey.  I follow Cornell hockey religiously.  I am hoping all three of my kids go to Cornell, not only is a great hockey program, it is one of the best schools in the country.

I didn't catch much of the game last night, tuned in in the 9th, ugh, but Vin Scully was waxing philosophic about Cornell and their rejection of the #13 jinx.  I'm watching the Dodgers feed tonight.  Sorry Dibs.

Maybe it was the low standard set by Tim Tolman, but I think Listach has been nothing short of excellent.

My only complaint is that he should have a mustache.

I almost called for Knorr's firing to mess with you :D

Definitely true.  I have no real opinion of Knorr being capable as an ML manager/coach, really.  I just thought this username sounded awesome and I wanted to turn on Manny. :twisted:

again manny doesn't know how to get through to these players about fundamentals.  jordan zimmermann didn't have a good first, but good god fundamentals our manager can't get across.

And wouldn't now be the time to do it?  With the Manny circus running full tilt?  By the time we get back home, the Manny talk will have died down and we'll llok like morons.  Do it now while we still have a chance to bury it on page 3 somewhere....

Seriously, we need a change.
