Rick Peterson, Tom Nieto facing ax but Willie Randolph safe - for now

I understand Peterson but if anytihng not Nieto it sohudl Johnson and freaken Sandy Alomar after wat he did today sending Schneider

Hojo of 1991

Wow... this organization just can't get out of its own way. Clueless.... How do they not realize this whole "limbo" is doing far more damage than good?

What about Alomar. He is the golden standard for clueless 3rd base coaches...either that or he just has bad reflexes.

From what I hear on this site and a few others, many people are lobbying for Oberkfell to take over if Willie is ousted. Wonder if bringing him up in a lesser role would prevent him from ever taking the reigns.

I hate this organization.

I'm this close to just walking away. Incompetant ****s.

If any of that story is true, it only pisses me off even more (if that's possible). What's next ? A vote of confidence for Willie ? Somehow, it wouldnt surprise me.

Gregory Gewirtz

Changing coaches is worthless. A move so plainly just "change for change's sake" will probably have no impact. I don't think the Mets lose anything tactical by shedding Peterson or Nieto, but nothing worthwhile will be gained, either. It's not like these are Willie's handpicked coaches, either - this isn't a message to Willie the same way the firings under Valentine could be construed as a firing of Valentine's men, not that I cared for those firings, either.

At this point, the Mets will look ridiculous if they fire Willie a few weeks from now, which is still better than keeping him for the rest of the season. I just hope that Wilpon now fully regrets not firing Omar and Willie after the 2007 season.

Peterson isn't the problem now. 5 of the 7 relievers in the Mets pen have an ERA under 4 and have only recently been touched up. Pelfrey is finally pitching like we hoped he could and Perez has shown more flashes here than all but his breajout year in Pittsburgh. His only problems are his ego and his inability to get his pitchers past 6 innings.

Willie needs to go, Hojo needs to go and Sandy Alomar needs to go. Make Manuel interim, Obie bench coach to groom him to take over next year, bring in Gary Carter as hitting coach since he wants a job here so bad, and grab anyone off the street to coach third because they would have to be better than the past two we've had there.

You know what, if this is true, I'm changing my tune.

Omar needs to go. There I said it.

Bay Ridge Dave

If he has, why hasn't he done it?

I hate this team, this organization, everything about it. The Mets have become as bumbling as they are unprofessional. Is Sandy Alomar Sr a friend of Omar's? Otherwise, especially after the Schneider debacle, how is he NOT even considered for this "round" of firing?

A joke. An embarrassment. Meet your 2008 New York Mets.

NeilAllen

Omar is desperately trying to keep his kevlar vest (Willie) on as long as possible.

Manuel will be the choice because the bullsh!t can continue (Tony B., Omar's cronies, etc..). Not that it couldn't continue with Oberkfell at the helm, but I don't think he'd be quiet about it...

Fonzy13

It's so pathetic.

Everyone needs to go. I never thought I'd think of Omar as worse than Phillips, but I'm nearly there.

How is Willie more valuable than Peterson? Sorry, this is just pathetic. Rick isn't to blame as much as Omar and Fred "Don't spend on the draft, but here is $ for Castillo" is for the last year or so.

I think both should be fired.

metman

Who replaces Peterson? I don't see why he must be fired. I hate this 'oh, we are not able to build a farm system or enact a plan or invest in the draft so we'll just pluck flaky pitchers and blame the pitching coach when it fails...'

I hate this ****. Every 4 ****ing years it's an overhaul.
