Manuel deserves to be back. When he took over, the team was like the walking dead. He brought them back to life. It's not his fault that Minaya couldn't pull the trigger on a reliever or an outfielder.

Omar: "Outfielders are just so expensive."

Two days later, the Yanks stole Xavier Nady.

Why didn't Omar try to get Nady back? If fucking Duaner Sanchez (an Omar disciple) didn't go out on a 3am yayo run two years ago in Miami, we never would have had to trade him in the first place.

But knowing Omar, he would have traded him anyway. Probably for another 45 year old Cuban pitcher and a bucket of balls.
