Now that Manny Acta has been fired by the Nationals, David Lennon, in a post to his blog on Newsday, wonders if he and the Mets will soon reunite.
…I would be all for Acta rejoining the team, even at the Major League Level…the club was very successful with him on the coaching staff and he would be working with the same group of core players if he did return…
Meanwhile, Brian Costa of the Star Ledger has put together a list of noteworthy quotes from Jerry Manuel and various players which “sum up the first half of the season” for the Mets.
Finally, Adam over at Brooklyn Met Fan is hopeful about the Mets chances in the second half after the last two victories.

No Acta.
NO ACTA THANK YOU. YOU WILL HAVE A METSBLOG REVOLT ON YOUR HANDS IF WE EVER MADE ACTA MANAGER. I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE LAST STRAW FOR US FANS. HE’S HORRIBLE. HAS ANYBODY WATCHED THE GAMES THAT HE MANAGES IN? FORGET ABOUT THE WINS AND LOSSES CAUSE THE NATS ARE BAD, BUT HIS DECISIONS ARE MAYBE WORSE THAN WILLIES’ AND JERRY’S. IN FACT, I THINK THEY ARE WORSE.
The act is over.
yes, corny.
IF THEY EVER HIRED ACTA AS THE NEXT MANAGER, I THINK THAT WOULD THROW ME OVER THE EDGE OF APATHY. WHY WOULD WE EVEN CONSIDER THIS WITH BOBBY VALENTINE STILL OUT THERE!!!!!!!
SORRY FOR THE CAPS MATT, BUT YOU GOT ME RILED UP SAYING YOU’D LIKE TO SEE HIM BACK.
Matt didn’t write that post.
I don’t want to see Acta bacxk, even as a coach, lets move forward.
I DON’T EVEN WANT TO SEE ACTA ANYWHERE NEAR THE METS FOR FEAR OF OMAR MAKING A REALLY STUPID MOVE THAT WOULD RUIN THIS FRANCISE FOR THE NEXT 2 OR 3 YEARS.
You mean ruin the franchise for ANOTHER 2 or 3 years…
you guys are crazy. All the mets have done is win the past 3-4 years and Omar has ruined the franchise. gimme a break.
Newsflash!!!
All the mets have done in the past 3 years is CHOKE!

The Best!!!
Yes exactly. Another 2 or 3 years. Why do they do this to us? Matt, I’m really surpised at you on this one. You let us down man.
Matt didnt post this.
I’m even making typos all over the place because I’m so flustered by this.
Was Acta as bad of a 3rd base coach as Razor Shines? I love Razor but he’s scary over there at 3rd.
No, Acta was better at third, but part of Razors problem is he’sbeen forcing things because the team has struggled to score runs so honestly untill the team gets back to relative heath and we start score runs more easily ( although the past couple of days looks promising ) I don’t think we can truly evaluate Razor properly.
Agreed… it’s hard to evaluate anyone this year than maybe the training and medical staff!
I’ve never read so many obituaries for a team in July that’s hovering around .500.
Now we win two straight and the sun is shining and hope is abound.
Let’s face it, we’re gonna be between 3 and 6 games out on September 1, and there will still be some room for hope. A huge reversal of fortunes in September would be a great story, but is highly unlikely.
I’d say predicting being 3-6 out is leaning optimistic, given what I’ve read about the injuries, but I’ll get on board. Season is not over, despite the seemingly popular opinion around here.
What don’t people like about Acta? Grudge list: V V V
I’m sure that Omar is thinking about Acta, but just where the deuce would Acta go? . . . hitting coach, perhaps? . . . How could he do worse than HoJo (who seems to have gotten a new lease on life over the weekend)?
It wouldn’t shock me for the Mets to bring in Acta but I would stick him in the minors. Forcing him onto the coaching staff would cause issues I believe because you would once again have a possible manager in waiting (like Jerry was to Randolph) and if things go south could have a revolt. Plus there is no doubt that Bernazard would use Acta as the Latin Rep possibly dividing the team. Keep him in the minors and if a change is made at the end of the season he can start fresh.
I hate slow news days…
And I’ m not looking forward to a slow news week.
