I think even once a week polls are too often. I am saying if you run a poll asking the fans to point fingers, why are they giving only Willie as an option? And if you notice, I did not suggest letting fans choose "only one person." The other option I gave was "Omar, Willie, and the plalyers." That's at least 27 people there! IMO, run a poll twice a month and include everyone. darkstar, I am not even asking to run a poll after each game which is stupid. I think even once a week polls are too often.

And Bowa's dominant characteristic is not that he's firey. It's that he's a jerk and people can't stand him after a while. You can be firey and not be a jerk. yeah, I think Manuel has a bit of fire.

How about using your pull and do a few articles on ex mets we haven't heard from in a while. After watching the "Zen of Bobby V" I'm really interested to find out what Bobby V's future is. Does he ever want to manage again in the MLB, does he follow some of his former teams. How does he feel about his time in New York/ the Wilpons. When does his contract expire. What are his thoughts on Japanese baseball fans compared to to MLB fans. PLease please do this piece. It at the very least will clear up all this recent Bobby V talk. Seems like he is having a tough year with his Chiba Marines.. How do his fans deal with success and then a year of failure? Hey Matt,

Without the poll on Omar, the FO will get the false idea that the fans are okey dokey with Omar. Which is far from the truth. The real problem is Omar. I bet that no one gets fired during the season and that both him and Willie will be on the hot seat at season's end. It's not necessarily one goes before the other. The FO needs to know how the fans really feel. Not a one-sided view. No, it’s not irrelevant. Without the poll on Omar, the FO will get the false idea that the fans are okey dokey with Omar.

Bottom-line. Lets Win today and get some momentum before heading across town. oh, and bring up a Minor league manager and send Willie and Heilman down to work things out. sorry for the lack of editing.. i guess boo me too.

Heliman in that situation you could pretty much give the Nats that run before he came looked into Schneider. you knew he was scoring, it's time for Heilman to go. Hey amybe we can bring up one of our minor league managers and send Willie down to work things out! Hopefully WIllie doesn't play the B Line-up I think todays game is going to be a must needed when before heading to the Bronx. we can not have a losing homestand against the two worst NL teams I used to like but it’s slowly fading.
