			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My biggest problem with Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel is neither of these two challenge any of their players publicly. Iâ€™m not saying itâ€™s the right thing to do but desperate times call for desperate measures. Â Â The cool, calm way is just not working and Jerry trying not to throw anyone under a bus in the press isnâ€™t working Â either, so maybe itâ€™s time for some tough love and start calling guys out by name. Â If your Manuel, you know your job is on the line and if these underachievers donâ€™t kick it in gear soon, youâ€™ll be out of a job and maybe thatâ€™s what Manuel wants. Maybe J-Man has had it with this team and organization that he can just play out the next month and a half get released and go home? Â It could be the players are taking their cue from their skipper. Thatâ€™s why Jerry Manuel has got to go. Let Dave Jauss finish out the season but a message needs to be sent this isnâ€™t a fucking country club and no one is set for life in Flushing.</p>
<p>Same with Minaya, how does he stay so calm? At some point shouldnâ€™t he address the team and read the riot act? Doesnâ€™t it bother him that just about every Mets fan thinks heâ€™s a shit ass GM that only knows how to throw money at free agents and sign over the hill players? Â Does he enjoy being in charge of a team that is made the punch line of jokes in all of baseball?</p>
<p>What about the owner? Does Jeffey Skill Sets enjoy be called a douchebag by me and other fans? Doesnâ€™t get he ever get pissed that he is portrayed as a buffoon and spoiled little rich kid that evey Mets fan wants to punch in the face?</p>
<p>Is there anyone associated with this organization that ever gets mad? Besides Crazy Freddie? If ownership had a quarter of the passion and fight of itâ€™s fan base, this team wouldnâ€™t be in the sad position itâ€™s in now.</p>
<p>You know what makes it worse? The Phillies and Red Sox have been decimated by injuries but both teams are still in the think of a pennant race. You know why? Because their players have boulders for balls unlike our Mets who I hate to say it, are cowards and I can call them cowards and losers and any other name I want and any of the MSM can show this post to the players, GM, or owner and they wonâ€™t do a damn thing about it.</p>
<p>Hey Omar, Hey Jerry, Hey Jeff, Hey David Wright any of you guys feel froggy, then leap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Â </p>
<p>Observations of Game 2 of the World Series from a conscientious objector:</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Patients at the plate is a good thing but there comes a time when you have to change your approach. Last night the Phuck Phaces stayed a bit too passive as Pie Man was throwing first pitch strikes to just about every batter. When you see by the third inning that Burnett was on his game, itâ€™s was up to the Phillie hitters to go up and attack that first pitch.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>I should feel good for Petey and his performance last night but the spurned Mets fan in me is having a hard time doing that. What was Charlie Manuel thinking (or not thinking) when he let Petey go out for the 7<sup>th</sup> inning. Hasnâ€™t he heard of Grady Little? Youâ€™d think Manuel would take the 6 strong innings for Petey and call it a day but it just goes to show Manuel, like Joe Girardi has no confidence in his bullpen.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Speaking of Manuel and Joey G, have there ever been two diverse personalities runningÂ  clubs in a World Series? Â Olâ€™ Cholly, acts like heâ€™s on a fishing trip in the Ozarks on the bench, shucking and jiving with old Mets coach Sam Perlazzo and giving his Bazooka gum a work out. Girardi on the other hand is tighter than a crabâ€™s ass on the bench, he makes Buck Showalter look like <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_E8BpJEni77I/SVEgxj1JCqI/AAAAAAAAHXc/wB0hnp8NUHc/s400/spicolli3.jpg">Spicolli.</a></p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>â€œYou know youâ€™re a douchebag whenâ€â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦.Your team is tied 1-1 in the World Series and you write a blog and the best post you can come up with the day after a game is<a href="http://www.pinstripealley.com/2009/10/30/1107392/come-together?login=1256906153"> this</a>.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>I can not believe no one is killing El Capitano for his mind numbing at bat in the 7<sup>th</sup> inning. I can see attempting to bunt on the first pitch but after thatâ€¦are you kidding me?</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Am I losing whatâ€™s left of my small mind but are Buck and McCaver actually doing a good job on the World Series telecast? As you see I have called them by their proper name instead of my nicknames for them (Doofus Joe and McFullofshit for you newbies) Buck has not subjected us to his forced hipster bullshit so far and McCarver has summoned his inner mid 1980â€™s when he was the Mets lead analyst with Ralph Kiner and long forgotten <a href="http://www.ultimatemets.com/photos_88888/6592.jpg">Steve (but down the Peroxide) Zabriski</a>. Back in the day, McCarver was aÂ  analyst on any baseball telecast but then for some reason he became crotchety and so insufferable, the Mets dumped him. He seems no longer angry or is he messing up names and (I canâ€™t believe Iâ€™m writing this) is really on his game so far. OH GOD I NEED TO LIE DOWN!!!!</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Now that pre game showâ€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦ughhhhhhhhhh what a disaster.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>METS NEWS!!!!!</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>The Mets have made some moves that have fallen under the World Series radar the last few days that begs the question, Just why are Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel coming back next year? As <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/mets/2009/10/hale-to-third-bigger-name-d-ba.html">per Adam Rubin,</a> the Mets have assigned the Bingo managers job to Tim (Shuffle) Tuffle and the St. Lonesome job to The Peopleâ€™s Cherce, Wally Backman. Ownership has also talked Sandy Johnson out of retiring and they are looking at hiring Bob Melvin to be Manuel replacement bench coach. That goes along with the hiring of Chip Hale as the new third base coach. Lame ducks? Shit, sititnâ€™ ducks is more like it when it comes to Omar and Jerry.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>The Orioles have given Melvin Mora his release. Even the 37 yr old Mora would be an improvement over Luis Castillo at 2<sup>nd</sup> base. Not my first choice but Mora would be in the mix.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WhatÂ I&#8217;m Â supposed to get upset over<a href="http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/shysterball/article/cole-hamels-meets-talk-radio/"> Cole Hamels going on WFAN and calling the Mets &#8220;choke artists&#8221; ? </a>Hey I&#8217;d love to sit here and call Hamels a no good cheesesteakÂ eating douchebag from isÂ depressing shithole of a city butÂ it&#8217;s notÂ doing any good forÂ me or you or any other Mets fan to get pissed off about this awful label our beloved Metsies have been saddled with.</p>
<p>Non other than the fabulous Darryl Strawberry who was on with the <a href="www.wfan.com?PHPSESSID=aad5a0cac94b1eb9b755755ed4da7120">Great Bloviator on WFAN </a>this afternoon said as muchÂ when Hamels remarks we played. When asked by Mean Mike what would the 86ers have done with Hamels for making a remark like that about them heÂ wasted no time in saying a fastball to ear andÂ  good old fashion ass kicking would be the first order of business.</p>
<p>Unfournately the Mets have no one who would step up andÂ  whizzÂ  a fastball in anger at an oppenentÂ so allÂ we can hope for is that the next time Hamels in NYC he spitsÂ on the sidewalk or jay walksÂ as he could find a radio antenna sovedÂ up his ass.</p>
