Glider is a philthy fan troll.

Don’t feed the troll!

NCMetsGuy hit the nail on the head.

I’m certainly not sold on Manuel yet…but my God, anybody would be better than Willie!

Call it the no more moronic, baseball strategy-challenged, thin-skinned, paranoid manager effect!

And, what in the name of all that is holy (i.e. Mookie, Seaver, Gil, Koosman, Agee, Mex, Bob Murphy, Mr. Met) is wrong with being happy about that?

Glider: it is “tete-a-tete.” Not tet a tet. Tete-a-tete is defined as as “a private conversation between two people,” (hard to actually have one on a blog commenst section, but that’s neither here nor there).

Tet was a Vietcong and NVA offensive in the Vietnam War set to coincide with the eponymous holiday in late January, 1968. The offensive was an abysmal military failure for the Communist forces, but a stunning propoganda victory.

I know your love for Willie “Brains” Randolph is all-encompassing, but perhaps dumbing yourself down to Willie’s level is not the optimal way to demonstrate your abiding affection.

Oh, and a blind, three-legged, rabid basset hound would be a better manager than Willie.

So, Jerry, by definition, is better than Willie.

That said, I am yet to be convinced that Jerry is the long term answer.

Feels good to be a Mets fan again. For the moment.

I don’t care who is to thank for it, it’s good and we should all just be happy.

Castillo can play, however i’d love to see him out of the 2 hole. I just don’t like the flow of this offense when he’s hitting left handed. He prevents us from having alot of big innings.

Now granted he has a good OBP, and leads the team in average with RISP. However i just don’t like him in the spot. I got the feeling the manuel might not have either, his comments at the press conference and bringing up the 2 hole in the lineup and all.

One thing i also like about manuel, he stuck to his word so far. Gave easily an extra day (regardless whether castillo was injured or not) because he was performing. If castillo does go back to hitting in the 2 hole and doesn’t perform, i have a feeling manuel is gonna take him out, shake things up a bit. Something we never saw from willie.

Easley did fumble a tailored made double play, that basically got Maine mad and out of the game. My guess Castillo would have had it.
