You have to win. Period. You lose, you suck. Plain and simple. No racism, no hatred. The dude just could not get the players to play together loike the team they are suppose to be. You lose, you lose your job. Get over it.

Say your job is making widgets. You don't make enough widgets, you lose your job. Or your a salesman. YOu don't make enough sales, you lose your job.

Same thing...

yes, and Minaya is doing such a good job that they hired 'special assistant' Wayne Krivsky......the Wilpons are starting to sound like politicians.

He was getting too close to .500 and had to be fired quick before it would have been impossible to say this.

T-E-A-M......................

As the "IMMORTAL" Al Davis always says - "just win baby" !!!

Didn't win enough? Wow, what a freakin' revelation!!!!! Next thing your gonna tell us is that Championships are the TRUE indicators of a successful season.

Does anything interesting happen in socialist societies?

Yes. It's a laugh riot when large foreign corporations get nationalized.

Not for the capitalist stockholders who built the companies.

I can understand firing someone who under performs. But, in this case it was as much the players performance if not more than Willie's. If the Mets don't change some of the other pieces, they will never put this puzzle together.

Capitalistic stockholders=average americans

Agreed, but it's fun to watch. Those French and Italians have such a comedic sixth sense.

Funny I don't remember seeing him take his at bats, or catching a fly ball, or tht's right he isn't playing. The GM put this team together, why didn't he get fired????????????????

Because he threw Willie under the Bus, which saved him temporarily.

Judging by the Chicken's absence, he did not take kindly to your rebuttals.

If the Mets don't make the playoffs, Omar should be gone at the end of the season too.
Firing Willie was the right move but now it's on the team to win.

Excuse me? WILLIE didn't win enough? Uh, I didn't see him out there playing nine positions. He had a bunch of over-rated divas who think that Baseball has to bow down to them every time they take the field. Same goes for those other pinstriped divas in New York.
Willie had nothing to do with what the Messtropolitans are doing. He could only watch his players muck things up.

They still have a good looking team on paper, but yes i agree, it wasn't Willie's fault, unfortunately managers are hired to be fired.

Anytime it take s an owner this long to explain what happened, then you know anything they say is nothing but cover ...for them.
