Kannengieser writes :
This is the column the mainstream media has resisted writing. Per Davidoff:
Contemplate whether you’re giving your team its optimal chance to win with Manuel running the clubhouse, writing out the lineup card and making in-game, on-the-fly decisions.
For based on what we’ve seen for the past baseball season and a... Read Full Story
It was one year ago today that former Mets' skipper Willie Randolph was dismissed by GM Omar Minaya. Since then, the Mets are 87-67 under new manager and former bench coach Jerry Manuel. Despite all of the criticism and negative publicity surrounding Manuel and the Mets, New York still finds themselves just four games out of first place and three games over .500 on the season. Oh yeah, and did I mention that nearly half the team has been on the disabled list at one point or another during... Read Full Story

Despite last night’s brutal loss to the rival Philadelphia Phillies, the Mets are obviously a different team with Jerry Manuel at the helm. The rifts in the clubhouse appear over, the biting comments in the media have stopped and even some Met fans are calling for Carlos Delgado to return in 2009. Delgado has resurrected his season (and career) while under Manuel, and Jose Reyes, the key that opens the Mets offensive door, has elevated his game since the departure of Willie Randolph. It is...

Jerry Manuel now has a second chance to prove that he can lead a ball club to the promise land. It seems like many forgot about him after his five years in Chicago. The stories about him losing the club are true, I confirmed it through people I know, but that was a long time ago in the world of Jerry Manuel.
I wrote on Friday why its important for Manuel’s detractors to look past simple in game strategy. Managing is not just between innings one through nine, its a 24 hour job. Dealing with... Read Full Story
