Mets Cheaping Out On Manager?

In other words- @GMBVW and the @Mets will let Girardi go to the Philles and then their excuse for hiring a cheaper - and less experienced- manager will be that Girardi was off the table. Different year, same old #Mets. #LGM https://t.co/2rfMEicBXy

 The above commentary is a sad statement about the state of the Mets managerial search if you agree with its premise. Unfortunately, given the teams penchant for taking the least costly approach to, well, everything, it doesn't seem far fetched.

Mets owned network preparing fans for the shitty candidate they probably plan on hiring? Probably, yes. Lets go from a guy named Mickey to some schmuck named Skip. Awesome.

Joe Girardi Or Bust

Girardi interviews for 2nd time in Philly early next week per @JSalisburyNBCS. Mets start their 2nd round likely next week. Phillies seem more likely for Girardi still than Mets

I swear to God, if the Mets end up with Carlos Beltran because they let Joe Girardi slip through their fingers to the Phillies I'll be pissed off. We don't need another first time manager, my affection for Carlos Beltran aside, we need a tried and true pro. This team has shown how close it is, and a better manager in charge of that bullpen may have made the difference. Girardi landing in the division on another team that is ostensibly on the way up would only add to the sting.
