Please Give Me 10 Minutes in the Dugout!
An article by Russell Zanca
JMAN’s post-game last night–not so good.
Very Randolph-esque now. Lots of mumblin’, lots of hoping, lots of “it’s not so good; we have to try to turn it around” crap!
Fans, I’m thinkin’ it’s high time for a little fire and brimstone. Whadda ya say? No one would seriously argue that a bit of the rant and rave would make matters worse, right?
Here’s an appeal to the Wilpons or Minaya: Fly me to Queens and give me ten minutes in the dugout w/ my beloved and pathetic Mets.
Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll break a lot of stuff, and then yell, scream, spit, and cuss up a storm about the way these underachievers have underperformed, then I’ll cruise into my peroration. If nothing else, it will so affect those lethargic bums so much that they will be roused–at least a few of them–to beat the ever-lovin’ SH#& out of me. It’s a beating I will gladly suffer b/c it will jump start these men.
Sorry, but testosterone, nay testicles, seems to be in incredibly short supply in that clubhouse.
I’m afraid Manuel is going to be a memory before long.
The man is not cutting it.
Where in the name of God is some inspiration!

The Wilpons would probably have you pay for the plane ticket and would foot you the bill for anything you break in the clubhouse. It seems like they need any extra money they can get because they’re not certainly not spending it on extra players.
I think Manuel is so shocked at what has happened to his team that he laughs at press conferences just because he can’t figure out what else to do. Then again, he’s always been a manager who preaches tolerance and patience. He’s just in a city that has more than its share of intolerant and impatient fans. I like him as a man, but he’s not the type of manager who can get through the tough situations these players keep putting him in. For his sake, I hope the team can show some fire soon or else even Manuel might forget about his laid-back attitude. Then again, maybe that’s what we want him to do.
Tolerance and patience yet he changes the lineup on a daily basis, has no tolerance for players who might be going through a slump except if the are named wright, and assigns roles in the bullpen which he throws out the window the next day.
And today presenting Jerry manuels lineup arrangement #80 something…
Manuel’s hypocritical, and it bothers me. The bullpen roles? Yeah right, he threw that away. And “if you’re hitting, you’ll play” philosophy? That was out the window a long time ago. I agreed with everything that he had said when he first became the manager. Now i don’t know. He wants to survive? He’s not saying the right things anymore. It’s all generic.
I was afraid just reading that.
