I didn't watch today because I knew they were going to come listless and lifeless and lose again. They don't want to play for Callaway and this series proved it. None of the players respect him and they want him gone too. And don't give me Jim Riggleman for the rest of the season either. He was brought on solely to assist Callaway. Maybe we should fire him too?
This organization sucks. Fck the Wilpons. I'm not buying any game tickets or merchandise AGAIN!
Say what you will about NY sports radio but I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's shows. Especially, Joe and Evan.
Honestly I'd love to go after Showalter, but he doesn't fit the mold of what the new Mets are trying to do.
Oh, I'd LOVE Showalter too but the Wilpons would never ever sign a strong-headed manager who didn't tolerate intermeddling from daddy's rich brat who knows little about the game and doesn't know how to manage a business organization.
I read that the Mets have been grooming some young coach from the inside (Lopez? last name). But that they were hoping to have more time to groom him, i.e. he's not ready for prime time either and they don't want to repeat the same mistake and ruin a young coach's confidence or whatever.
So, I don't know where we go from here tbh. I guess they're going to hand on for now because there really aren't any good or even decent, options right now. But if the team has given up on its manager, which they appear to have done with Callaway, then this will only get worse. Look how bad we were this weekend. It's going to be brutal at Citi Field.
We now have a 7 home games (4 vs. Nats; 3 vs. Tigers). My guess is that assuming they don't fire him tomorrow, they'll give him the entire homestand to see how the team responds. If we go below 3-4, then I can only hope that will do it. But who knows with these owners.
