Omar’s really the problem, not Willie.

I will pop champagne as if it were a WS victory. The man is a stain on the organization. For the few positive things he has done, he has caused the organization so much shame. Get rid of him NOW! It is the only way to save face. If it was his idea to can Willie (like signing all the Medicare elidible players), and you see the reaction, make him pay for it with his job. Have some balls, Jeff. Tell your fan base that you do not endorse this type of conduct, and cleanse the organization of Omar Minaya today, once and for all. You have Tim Tuefel and others to take over. Show us some balls and save face.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('70382','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('70382','Rich','The next day I celebrate a baseball thing is the day Omar is fired.

But that is also a ridiculous reason. It's just sad. the whole thing. this whole year has been mishandled from the last out of 2007, when diamondvision, instead of thanking the fans for their support, said something lame like "have a great year".<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('70372','caryn'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('70372','caryn','Sandy Alomar wasn\'t fired because he is THE translator on the coaching staff.

They don't want to can the guy on Father's Day, but somehow this is better? I guess it's not enough to fire a guy, you have to attempt to take away his dignity. By the way, I just saw a quote on ESPNews from Fred Wilpon claiming this was completely Omar's call. I don't know what to make of that, apart from I think that it's bullshit. About all that seems to do is insulate them from the Randolph firing, as I believe that, barring some amazing turnaround this season, Omar will be out the door at (or by) the end of the season.
