I could not agree more with you fellas. I have to add though that,if he does not turn this thing around at the end of the year, he will have to go. He has failed to mold his team to his image. I would love to see this team approach the game like Willie did, but they don't. Why is that? Wow looks like some sane individuals are coming out of the woodwork!

I really can't believe some of this pro willie stuff. Sure he's a good guy and I would love to here his thoughts baseball,, but that doesn't make him a good manager. Guys this guy is not a leader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He said it himself today.. Mike asked him about the leaders in his locker room and he said Delgado and Alou. He doesn't want to lead or maybe he doesn't know how to lead. But if a manager isn't a leader and isn't that great with his managerial decisions then I don't know what he's there for. the clubhouse is a mess they are playing like a last place club with no confidence and these situations have been going on for well over a year now. come on guys... wake up wow… the SNY payroll is out in full force tonight.

a good manager has the respect of each and every one of his workers; and, every day, those workers try to do better today than they did yesterday…willie does not instill that in the mets
willie hasnt gotten the respect of his players; he has issues in the clubhouse (the same issues he has this yr with wagner, he had last yr with loduca…and he hasnt been able to fix that)
his players function as individuals, not as a team, and willie doesnt appear to be able to change that environment
I am sure willie is a nice man, but…he can rant and rave like pinella, or get run like cox, or think hes a genius like larussa…doesnt mean he can manage other players
(and, anyone who has spent a lifetime in his craft…and still doesnt know that when the opposing team bats out of order, you say nothing unless the other team gets a man on base…)
maybe the time has come to emulate nyc mayor bloomberg…he wasnt a politician before becoming mayor…maybe we need to see non baseball people as managers…business leaders…successful business leladers..instead of successful baseball ‘players’
