No but he does control whether or not he brings Heilman in. Right now Heilman is one of the worst relievers in the NL and he still LEADS the league in appearances. Why does he need to bring him in there??

I have to agree that these guys do seem a little lacksadaisacal. But you have to be careful about inserting a new element into the clubhouse. I don’t think it’s going to be Willie that injects some life into this team. It’s going to have to be a trade.

People have a tendency to blame the manager, but look at 99-2000. Nobody like Bobby V. He pissed people off instead of motivating them, but they had guys like Tank on the bench who used to keep the atmosphere loose and the guys pumped up even during bad games. You need a couple more characters. With Pedro and Castro out, who is left on the bench and in the clubhouse to be the “morale guy”? No one.

I don’t think you can give up on Marlon that easily. I mean, this is a guy that has absolutely dominated as a pinch hitter over the past 3 seasons. He did hit the home run last night, so maybe he’s starting to get out of his little slump. When all is said and done, he’ll still be the league’s top PH by the end of the year.

It’s not Willie’s fault. Does Willie control if Heilman has a meltdown or Jose or Delgado muff up plays in the field?

The Mets’ problems right now rest solely on the players. They need to pick it up, not Willie.

WoW!! The Mets are in serious trouble!!!! We just don’t have any fire or desire out there at ALL!!! Somebody needs to do something about this right away other wise it is going to be way to late. I dont wanna hear ohh its a 162 game season were not even 1/4 into it yet etc. etc. This team is in trouble point blank no way around it. Reyes is lost he does not look like the same player, Delgado needs to go back to 2006 & start using his little black book again, Wright and/or Beltran NEED to throw a FITTTTT in the locker room & start throwing & kicking stuff over they have to let everyone else know that this is unacceptable!!!!!!!Show that they care about this team & let it be known that this team is too d@mn good to be playing like this & it needs to end NOW!!!!!!!! Willie isn’t going to do it so Wright & Beltran need to step up & light a fire under everyones @ss!!! The team isn’t having fun in any which way, it’s like they dont even want to be out there. Everyone on this team is making it look more like a job instead of what it should be & that’s FUN. If something doesn’t happen soon and somebody doesn’t show some D@MN emotion that they care this season will be a wash again. This team is wayyyyy to good to be playing the way they are!!!!!!!!!

I found this Fire Willie Petition. Not sure how long it’s been around, but I’m going to start getting it around the internet and Monitor it. As of now (when I found it) it has 21 signatures. I’m sure within a week, it’ll be near a thousand.

i got a good tarde for the mets. Heilman to the yankees for a bucket of balls and a 2000 world series program. Thats an even trade that would strengthen our ballclub.
