News: ESPN on Willie and Bernazard
Last night on ESPN’s Baseball Tonight, Buster Olney said:
“I think this entire situation has illuminated a cultural problem that the Mets have had for years, for decades. They basically have a lot of infighting and back-stabbing and some times it takes the form of anonymous quotes in the newspaper. One classic example from the last year is that, it’s an open secret, that Willie Randolph has issues with Tony Bernazard, who is the Mets assistant GM, and the Mets never really solved this…It’s just one of those things that seem to fester in this organization.”
…the reported issue with Bernazard is now Jerry Manuel’s problem, i guess…
…as for comments regarding infighting and backstabbing, etc., well, as a Mets fan, i’ve been reading about this for years…i do not know how it differs from other teams, though…also, is this is a Mets thing, or a Mets + NYC thing…
Meanwhile, at ESPN.com, 1050 ESPN Radio’s Andrew Marchand quoted Fred Wilpon as saying:
“Omar is in charge. It was his decision.”
…first of all, i doubt this…i do…
…second, Andrew Marchand is fascinating to me…he gets the most bizarre, amazing and unique quotes and information in ways that make me laugh and yet impressive at the same time…
…my favorite was the time he got a quote from Pedro Martinez because he just happened to be sitting next to him on the same flight…
…i swear, he must have trained with the CIA, but, instead, uses his skills to report on baseball…
