I think that the Mets should give him another shot. When they originally named him interm manager, I wasn't that thrilled. But in truth the guy did a great job turning the team around, getting them to respond to him, and doing the job that he did with that sorry ass excuse of a pitching staff.

As for Maniya, I think that he is the one who deserves the boot. not a f**king 4 year extension. This team collapsed two years in a row under him. Yeah, he did go out and get Johan in the off season, but he did absolutely nothing by the trade deadline this year to try and bolster an already anemic pitching staff.

I say give Jerry a few months into next season and tell Omar to find a job somewhere else.

On another note, Delgado definitely should win comback player of the year.




Don't even get me started Lou. I've been depressed all day about this. A lot of great memories there for me.

My grandfather used to have season tickets to the Mets and he, my dad, my uncle, (who was also my Godfather) and I would go to the games all of the time. I have so many memories of going to so many games with the three of them.

Great memories...great times.

My dad, my grandfather and my uncle all passed away and now that Shea is going to be torn down it's as though this is really a finality for me in regards to all the great memories that I had of going to Shea with the three of them.

I'll never forget the time that I met. talked to and got an autograph from my favorite Met, Tommy Agee. I still have the baseball card that he autographed that day for me. I was probably about 8 years old.

The other event that I will always remember was going to Tom Seaver Day at Shea. He was my other all time favorite Met.

We were given a lithograph of Seaver that day and about a month later I had the pleasure of meeting Tom Terrific and getting that Litho of him autographed.

But I will never forget the great times that I had as a kid with my dad, my grandfather and my uncle at Shes Stadium.

I'm really going to miss the old stadium.


RIP Shea Stadium!
