The training/medical staff definitely needs to be fed to starving pumas.<br /><br />But Omar and Jerry aren't off the hook. I don't want to get into how bad an in-game manager Jerry is, but I have said before that I don't think a manager really has that much effect on games, and I would like to rephrase that: I don't think a manager can have that much of a positive effect on games; he can <b>certainly</b> have a significant negative effect. After watching Jerry this year, I'm confident in that revision.<br /><br />As for Omar, I'd say this:<br /><br />GOOD: Pedro, Beltran, Johan<br />BAD: Everything else<br /><br />The latest example: Sheffield was claimed by the Giants off waivers, and for some reason, the Mets pulled him back. If the Giants had offered an old Connect Four and a book of already-filled-in Mad-Libs, this deal should have been a no-brainer. Why keep Sheffield? Why? Only Omar knows.Open Barhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01296373954499786645noreply@blogger.com
