Nik,

I see your point totaly as we remember when the Skill Sets wanted Pat Gillick to be the GM to replace Steve Phillips and he laughed in their face as Jeffey has the bad rep throughout baseball as a meddler, but if the Mets do not make the post season this year then Omar would have to get the ax the clubhouse swept out

Maybe in the next loss, Putz should fire at someone just for the heck of it.

Steve, Omar has made SOME good moves, and totally fucked up others. The intangible here is that he does not recognize what we all say, the team is gutless and he made no effort to address that. We need a Youkilis-type guy in here. If you want to turn the clock back, we need a Ray Knight. The clubhouse is divided, let's call it for what it is. Everyone who has access in that room says the same thing. It just does not work. And Omar's answer is to bring in broken down 35-year-old after broken down 35-year-old.
