  I have asked Jay if the charity of his choice would be the Mets 2013 roster. No response yet

  No idea how this guy keeps his job.

  The donation will be for .01 dollars.

  This guy has been in charge of “PR” all the while the organization has become a circus more than a few times.

    Jay does a great job. It’s not his fault if the owners hire the GMs who help make it a circus. He has a thankless job with enough stress that would send most people into a fetal position. While most team’s PR heads last 2-3 years and bow out, Jay has handled more debacles than anyone can shake a stick at and has done so with dignity and class.

      But how often does he actually put out these fires?

      Not saying its his fault…but im not sure i see the value add if most of the debacles are caused by his boss…

        You don’t stick around in an organization for nearly 35 years without doing something right, especially in a market like New York. Imagine handling the 86 Mets, the “Worst team money could buy” and countless other controversies over the year.

        Jay is the best of his craft.

          He says his greatest professional misery has come in watching the Wilpons suffer through the Madoff coverage. “A lot of it has been really unfair,” he says. “I don’t know two more decent, honest people. And I’m not saying that as a media person or employee. I’m saying it as a human being.”

          Wilpons and honest?

          sorry…but Jay lost all credibility with me …
          • Clayton Collier January 25, 2013 at 9:34 pm

            Sorry I was unaware you interacted with them on a daily basis for the past 35 years like he has.

            I think his opinion of them holds more value and is more educated than that of yours OR mine.

      Is it the GM making the circus or the owners?

    MATT, ANY GM OR OTHER BASEBALL EXECUTIVE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THEIR EMPLOYER ALLOWS THEM TO BE.
    I GUARANTEE LINDSAY LOWHAN, TOM CRUISE & ALEX RODRIGUEZ ALL EMPLOY TOPNOTCH PR FIRMS, AGAIN THE CLIENTS MUST BE WILLING TO SUBJUGATE THEIR DESIRES TO THE JUDGEMENTS THEY’RE PAYING TO HEAR… THERE IN LIES “THE RUB” ALSO, THE VERY BEST EXECUTIVES APPEAR TO BE SOLELY IN CHARGE WITH A TOTAL LACK OF TRANSPARENCY IN ORDER TO OBFISCATE WHERE THE FAULT TRULY LIES ABOVE THEM. IT TAKES A MOMENT TO GIVE THE CREDIT TO THOSE DUE THE CREDIT RATHER THAN ASSUMMING THE EXECUTIVE IS A DOLT U’LL GET A GREATER, MORE MATURE UNDERASTANDING BY FIRST PRESUMING THEY NOT ONLY KNOW MORE THAN WE DO; BUT ARE PREVENTED FROM DOING IT AS THEY WOULD NATURALLY PREFER TO, IF THEY HAD THAT IMPOSSIBLE NON-EXISTANT DREAM OF “FULL AUTONOMY” SURELY U CAN UNDERSTAND HOW IN A SMALL LIMITED INDUSTRY SUCH AS BASEBALL WITH ONLY 30 OWNERS THAT ANY EXECUTIVE CHOOSING TO FULLY OPEN HIS KIMONA EXPOSING HIS EMPLOYERS AS PROFITEERING FOOLS WHOULD NOT GET ANOTHER OPORTUNITY TO DO SO TO ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE REMAINING 29 OWNERS! THUS THE TERM, PROFESSIONAL SUICIDE IS APROPRIATE.

  From an outsiders perspective, it certainly appears he does not do such a great job.
  • Joe D January 25, 2013 at 9:04 pm

    But that’s because the only time most Met fans see him is when the shit hits the fan. It’s his job to be the cleaner and then tackle the aftermath. I honestly feel sorry for him sometimes when I see things go wrong.

  CONGRATS to Jay Horwitz.
