At least he has the good sense to fire his manager in person this time around.  From Metsmerized Online:

According to a tweet via David Lennon of Newsday, Omar Minaya will be making an unscheduled flight with the team to Atlanta for their series with the Braves, although the decision was not made during today’s game.

I may be reading too much into this, but Jerry Manuel has been on the proverbial hot seat of late, and the team has lacked the life and enthusiasm that seemed so prevalent only two weeks ago when the Mets were riding high and sitting temporarily in first place.

Enjoy the power while it lasts, Omar, because there’s no way you’re still gonna have a job come July.  Omar’s a lot more to blame for the mess that is the Mets than Jerry, that’s for sure.  No manager could help this team right now.  I thought the wheels would have come off earlier, but the Mets shitting the bed was inevitable.  David Wright bails out at the sight of any breaking pitch and has struck out in something like, um, every game in a row.  Reyes is essentially a poor man’s Nyjer Morgan at this point, and Carlos Beltran is just learning how to change his tampon by himself.  It’s pathetic all around, and Jerry’s not to blame.  Omar made this giant mess, he’s the one who should be held responsible.  So unless he’s planning on hiring Gandalf to take over, his days as GM are numbered.
