Because the Mets allowed Willie's firing to turn into a circus, that's why. They turned the normal task of firing a manager of an underperforming team into a sideshow and soap opera. This is not how successful organizations are supposed to be run. Why?

I mean, i'm sad to see willie go, but there isn't really much else they could do. I'm interested in seeing how people on the site would go about firing Willie. For everyone who thought it was classless, how would you do it? I'm just curious I'm not trying to be a dick like some people feel is necessary. The Willie era has come to end, so lets hope the mets can figure out who they are and salvage this game. Oh, i gotta say Angel fans suck. They seriously get to the game in the 3rd and were all gone by the 8th. And they still had nerve to say how much the mets suck after the lost. Stupid californians...too bad I am one =( Jesus guys get over it. I mean, i’m sad to see willie go, but there isn’t really much else they could do.

What is the big deal? Better they should have canned him at home? Who cares? Willie can go straight to Hawaii and crash at Joe Torre's place for a week.

It's a firing and there'll always be negative reaction to it (unless you somehow stand to profit from it). When companies announce layoffs, who's applauding besides certain shareholders? Can you ever name a good firing? Like it or not, the Mets are one of the most covered sports organizations. NEWS sells, controversy sells! This is all happening simply because we are the New York Mets and not the Kansas City Royals! You think the media knows who the Royals' manager is without having to think about it or do the research? This is New York and this is what happens in NY! Honestly, I don’t think you can EVER bungle a firing because it’s already bungled to begin with.

No, you're right. He chose to fly out west, coach one more game, get back to the hotel at 12 AM and find Omar sitting in the dark corner with a cigar in his mouth... Thats much more logical...

I don't give a damn about anything else. That's why I think it was handled correctly. That's why I feel no shame or embarrassment. This course of action will only help people move on faster with less garbage. And Willie saves face and becomes a martyr....
