Carter wants to manage, beat Mets

Gary Carter is striving to make it back to the major leagues as a manager. There is no gilding the resentment toward Mets' management, the incredulousness that others -- including Joe Girardi and Willie Randolph -- were hired as major league managers without a day's experience at that job at any level, and the disbelief that his Cooperstown-worthy playing credentials do not count for more. Though he contacted the Mets about replacing Randolph before he was fired, setting off a wave of criticism when he volunteered that information in a radio interview last month, Carter realizes that Citi Field is not going to be his future home. ???Now I???d love nothing more than to have an opportunity of managing a team and beat the heck out of them,??? Carter said of the Mets.

Carter should really keep his trap shut; having potential HOF numbers doesn't mean you'll make a good manager.
FYI, Chuck Tanner is not dead.....he will turn 79 on July 4th.

Um, did Carter miss out on the year Girardi spent down in Florida? Or his manager of the year credentials? Talk about on bitter frack.

This guy is a large-cased JERK. He was a jerk as a player, thought he was bigger than his teammates. Arrogant is too soft a word. He is too dumb to realize how much he is hurting his chances to ever manage in the Bigs. MLB is an old-boys network that looks after their own. All of his criticisms of colleagues, other GMs, other franchises are all just providing reasons to never hire this big mouth who can't be trusted to keep his trap shut.

He's like Michael Vick. Except he doesn't kill dogs. And he's white.

Like teams are going to hire him when his apparent primary purpose now in wanting to be a manager is to get revenge on the Mets.....

I agree with the earlier comment. The guy was a jerk as a player, and that hasn't changed.

Carter couldn't have said that about Girardi. Not because he's a nice guy - because he wouldn't know the word "incredulousness" if it came up and bit him on the arse.
