Willie is FIRED

Well Willie watch is finally over. We all knew it was coming. I've been saying this for the last few months so it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Now that is it done lets look back at all the aspects of the firing. Was it handled with class? No. The whole day to day situation is a cop out. It is just buying management time to gather all their resources together before actually firing the manager. They could of done that in secret and not let Willie and the press know about it. I like Willie because of his Yankee roots but he lost that team last year after their collapse. I'm not a Rick Peterson fan but the Mets pitching is actually decent. Starting anyway. The bullpen is a joke. So firing him was necessary. Did Willie deserve to be fired?Yes. He has shown that he has no handle on his team proof is in how Wagner twice got away with blasting team mates through the media. A manager can't allow that to happen. Did Willie cause his firing? Partly. He attacked his bosses' t.v. network saying they portray him negatively. You can't do that Willie you have to stay calm and go up the proper channels which is never through the press. So what happens now? Charlie Manuel is the interim coach and you can expect more of the same play we've seen all year. Folks its not the manager it is the players. The Mets are a 500 ball club folks. No better no worse.
