never commits to anything unless forced to…
Leaves his options open….
Is waiting for the Fans to start demanding change so he can fire Terry, call it change and buy himself another year of High Wilpon Salary while he waits for Selig to retire…

I like him and I like his style.

I don’t like that the team quit on him in August – how many consecutive home losses did they have?

But I don’t know if he is really to blame for that or Sandy for putting the team together.

I got an idea – why don’t they fire Sandy and let a GM come in to fix the mess that Sandy/Wilpons left and give Terry a team that won’t quit on him.

Better yet – let the Wilpons sell, fire Sandy with prejudice and then see how Terry does.

This is a CLASSIC EXAMPLE of what Sandyhas done since he got here….

He’s smart enough to know INACTION could become a problem….

Yet he won’t act and sit there are HOPE it doesn’t hurt much….

He is a man WAITING for things to happen (While other GMs make them happen) and then reacts the best he can under the circumstances he left himself in….

Thats not managing or LEADING….
It’s slacking off and putting out fires you started yourself!

And it’s no way to run an MLB franchise!

I honestly was not responding to your comment. My only proof is that I didn’t respond to what you stated. Sorry if what I said was offensive. My bad. I was just reacting to what I thought the Mets are doing with Wally, not at all anything you said.

You don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors so you should just leave it be. He and Terry could easily have an understanding about this already, but no, let’s just call him a reactive loser who should’ve taken a test to get this job.

So dumb and its getting worse daily.

Players quit on the Front office slap in the face by not making moves at the trade deadline

TC can only work with the players hes given. he cant pick a baseball for them, make them throw an excellent change up or have non implosive players in the bullpen

how many managers are the mets going to fire over FO being inept at building a team???

Its not Collins Fault that the mets lack quality players

What I have been saying has been consistent with itself since before Omar left the building!

And the new year of 2014 will see many of you Wait and See folks flip flop and calling out the lack of progress that will be apparent…
All in an attempt to be able to say See I don’t love Sandy after the fact he failed at everything you said he would do!

Sorry I don’t change my mind based on the date nor do I do it based on which way the wind blows!
I leave that to you who drink the koolaid and believe what it tells you until such time as a new glass of KoolAid comes along to change it for you…

At this stage the team needs to find a young, dynamic manager who will lead the team to future successes. That person is not Collins nor is it Wally.

Could he be Casey reincarnated at the age of 75 and suffering from dementia?

Maybe he needs a “Gibbs slap” on the back of the head.

Give it up already man…..we all know that no matter what happens you will find fault because you are indeed a hater and just like to “stir the pot”.

My New Years resolution is to see that you get to a good rest home!

1984 Davey Johnson was eager for success. Johnson went on to become the first National League manager to win at least 90 games in each of his first five seasons.

Could 2014, thirty years later be a repeat performance by Wally who DJ was his mentor.

Hoever I do not agree with:

” Right up till the We want to keep Wright and Dickey until such time as they shopped them and took the only offer made.”

First Wright was never shopped.

Second Dickey was traded for the best deal possible and not the Texas proposition.

Yes incremental improvements in total can make a big difference and you persuaded me on that point. You build concrete block by concrete block. The band aid approach is less preferable. But here is where we disagree I believe SA is laying the foundation with three top prospects along with the good players he inherited. You say prospects can amount to nothing. We got three top prospects as the future foundation. It is too early to make judgements on them.

If the team was close enough in showing Sandy they might be worth getting help for when he said he might….

Does it really matter much if the help would be enough to make 2012 a playoff season?
Wouldn’t whatever you got make 2013 that much closer to ready with the ability to improve what needed it this offseason?

The fact that he ws READY to buy then gave up only illustrates to me that he isn’t really sure what READY is or have ANY timeline in mind for making his READY RUN….

He is just waiting to see it when it happens and by the time it does I think it will be way too late. Ether what he needs is not avaialable or it will cost him players that are making that ready possible like Niese and Dickey

If he had even a hint that being a buyer was warranted last year then even if he changed his mind and believed there wasn’t a move to make 2012 good whatever move he made would have made 2013 much less the PUNTING it appears to be now….

My biggest issue is this FO seems to be unsure on EVERY decision….

From send Ike down to keep him up…
To Mejia is a Starter, scratch that Reliever, Oh Nevermind he’s a starter again…
To Harvey is not ready but a week later and one WORSE start than the one that was his aydition he is NOW ready…
Right up till the We want to keep Wright and Dickey until such time as they shopped them and took the only offer made.

If he believed they were good enough to supplement based on the first half of last year then whatever they got to supplement would have made the end of 2012 and the entirty of 2013 better and we would be one player CLOSER to winning something.
