I have deduced that Mets GM & A's GM Billy Beane are gay lovers.
Fact 1 - they were roomates in minor leagues
Fact 2 - Beane has fucked Phillips now for a 3rd time that we know of.
Let me start off by saying that Mets should not have given up Reyes for Pinella, let alone Reyes & Alomar. But Art Howe?
Has the guy ever done anything but be lucky enough to have Hudson, Mulder, Zito, Tejada (and for a while Giambi) on his team? Have you ever in your life said to yourself "boy, he sure outmanaged ____ in this game"? Shouldn't the fact that Beane was so happy to be rid of him give you a clue? A's didn't want to pay him 1.5 Mil for 1 more season, so Mets give him 4 Years for 2+
As John Heyman put it in today's Newsday, there must have been 15 better choices for Mets Manager. My choice would have been to give Willie Randolph the job. He has NY ties, he has done his homework while with Yankees, he is relatively young and bold, and he has always been a winner. He's not a sure thing you say? Well Howe is a sure thing - he definitely is mediocre.
If A's think Ken Macha is such a great manager candidate, why not give him a try?
Hell, even Terry Francona, who the Phillies sent out of town, would have been a better choice.
Phillips must go. Let him move to SF so he can secretly catch whenever he wants.
(apologies Gonzo - I know you mentioned this in another thread,but I am just so pissed off)
