So last night Omar Minaya was a guest on SNY’s Hot Stove show and of course one of the big questions was about Manny Ramirez (is it me or are the Skill Sets the only folks in Metsdom who against Manny as a Met?) but Omar never answered the question in fact all he needed was fruit basket on his head because he did a great Carmen Miranda imitation:
From Matt Cerrone’s Mets Blog:
Asked specifically about Manny Ramirez, and whether he has recommended signing him to ownership, Minaya said:
{“Manny Ramirez is a great player… But, the reality is, we have been focused on pitching… If you don’t have the foundation with starting pitching, I just don’t believe you win championships… So, we have to address our starting pitching and our bullpen first… Like anything else, you put your team together, like all GMs, you have a game plan, but the bottom line is you have to focus on pitching.â€}
Huh? Omar? Manny? The question was about acquiring Manny Ramirez? Yes we need pitching no doubt but a right handed hitting outfielder should on your shopping list as well. Omar seems to be ready to become a City Councilman.Â

omar says i can’t think about our lineup until I’ve with the pitching. how sad this guy is our gm. he was and is soo overrated. how the hell did he get a 4yr extension? the guy doesn’t answer any questions, and gets no heat from the mainstream press for being a putz(sorry j.j.)
