It is impossible. Omar or the Wilpons are to blame for the last three seasons. Can't blame Jerry. Which manager could win with all these injuries? It is impossible.

But adding salary to this team based on what was available and all the injuries this team had would have put a bandaid on Niagra Falls for 2009 and probably severly damaged 2010 and beyond. I think it is reasonable for people to be annoyed and lack optimism that the Mets will do the right thing going into 2010, but only time will really tell the story. They could make significant roster moves and still cut the payroll and field and effective team. I'll believe it when I see it, but is is possible. I think everyone is running to blame blame blame.

I am in total agreement that the two championship teams the Mets have should be celebrated. I think it would be wise to have some sort of monument on each side of the entrance to the rotunda one for 1969 and one for 1986. Those are pretty easily done, Koosman and Orosco for the final out. Or the pinnacle moments of each series the catch by Swboda and Knight scoring in game 6. I think the trophies should be able to be seen and they could drum up some memorabalia around each in discrete areas. Where I draw the line is retiring numbers just because. To me the only numbers that should be retired are players that came through your organization. Unless in a rare occurence that a player came to the team and was integral to several championships. The Mets have two numbers worth retiring currently. 16 and 18. The former took me a long time to get comfortable with, but I think both warrant it.

If Omar doesn't spend the amount he is given wisely, then that is his problem. Other large market teams (excluding the Yankees) spend less and get better results. Now I can blame ownership for not holding Omar accountable for the results. That is where I think the flaws with ownership are.

Even though IMO a General Manager is more important than an everyday manager, Jerry is more deserving to be fired than Omar. The Mets could do a lot worse than Omar, I don't think the Mets could do worse than Jerry Manuel. Jerry is the worst manager the Mets have had in my lifetime (29 years).
