Right now the only difference between Jeffey Wilpon and James Dolan is Dolan has some talent as he can play the guitar, Jeffey is just an out and out douche bag with that being his only talent.
Look I’m with everyone else here as this move while it could be justified was a classless scumbag way of doing business so that means it has Jeffey Wilpon’s name all over it. Why fly Willie, Rick Peterson and Tom Nieto across the country and order your GM to fire them after a win. Make no mistake, this is not Omar Minaya’s call he was forced into firing
If this was done on Friday afternoon with Jeffey and Omar presiding over a press conference to answer question there would be no outrage but to do it in such a cowardly way like Jeffey Wilpon did, and if you were thick headed enough to not know who is in charge of this fucking train wreck of a baseball organization, well you just got it hammered into your head that Jeffey is the Head Asshole in Charge of destroying the New York Mets.
As I said I called for Rick Peterson to be relived of his duties a couple of months ago as I felt it was time to change the message of pyramids and bio mechanics and all that other scientific mumbo jumbo and bring in a guy who will work with the starters to get maximum innings with minim pitchers and to be able to relate to the pitchers through experience in the big league level. I don’t know Dan Warthen way of doing things but at least he pitched in the big leagues so that helps as far as I’m concerned.
That Sandy Alomar survived tells me he is related some how to the Skill Sets and why Tom Nieto got fired has no explanation unless he ate one dounut too many from the clubhouse spread. I’m happy for Ken Oberkfell as he did a good job in Triple A and deserves a big league job and Luis Aguayo goes from field coordinator to Jerry Manuel’ bench coach. Manuel is here just as a care taker as no permanent move will be made until after the season as there could be a new GM as well.
From all you read and try to piece together the how’s and why’s of this episode it looks as if Jeffey wanted
At least the watch is over so now the white hot spot light is turned on Omar Minaya and the players. Time to put up or shut up.
Omar has a 5PM EDT press conference today to explain this latest move and little weasel Jeffey Wilpon better be there to face the music.

Right on. This bunch couldnt compete with the PHillies and Braves even if all were healthy….But they were half hurt. Yeah, thats willie’s fault. Also he was an excellent manager last season when they kicked ass all year, but NOW he’s a terrible manager. Give me a break. It’s all illusion. Willie is a player’s manager like Davie Johnson. Last year they were healthy and played great-Not this year.
why should anything surprise you at this point.
this is the same ownership that allowed:
victor zambrano for kazmir
signed luis castillo to 4 yrs!
handling of church concussion.
on and on!!
Of course Jeffy won’t be there Kranepool - he’s too busy golfing the Hamptons. I will never waver on my love for the Mets but this exectuive regime is the real problem. Time to take over!
Stay classy NY Mets. Stay Classy.
This is such a disgrace. Willie deserved better than this.
What a goddamn joke this organization is. 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.
But at least we now have Trot Nixon.
Steve? I also use the “Jeffy” Moniker on my blog:
This is a “Jeffy” Move, just like the Let Go’s of Darren Oliver and Chad Bradford, for the Wilpons 4 for 2 Couponing;
Omar carried out Jeffy’s Orders;
And Jeffy’s an A-HOLE
It is embarrassing to root for this team. I hope they are reading. I have season tickets and I bet that many others people feel the same way. There is nothing good to say about this team.
Sandy Alomar wasn’t fired because he is THE translator on the coaching staff. 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”.
The next day I celebrate a baseball thing is the day Omar is fired. 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.
I’m disgusted. By all means fire Willie on Memorial Day, but once they left him in the job I thought he’d be given a real chance to turn it around.
Omar’s really the problem, not Willie.
