It's like @NoDak said a week or so back -- it's crazy how many contenders and teams with plenty of talent just completely went cold down the stretch.

I believe the Mets have the second highest payroll in baseball. It's crazy that they didn't make it.

I still love me some playoff baseball, and for that reason, I'm really looking forward to Red Sox vs Yankees.

Been too long since we saw that rivalry in the playoffs, so wind down the next few evenings with a few cold brews while I watch that series.

Can't wait.

Every team that I route for seems to fail hard.


Go Yankees!!

Well he led us to one title. I guess its back to the back of the line for us with a payroll that is decreasing and a managerial search.

I had to look this up. What happened, did he want out? Or is this a firing they tried to make sound better?

His contract was up. It was only a 3 year contract but Im pretty sure that if he wanted to continue they would have offered another contract. They did offer another job in the organization if he wants it.

I know he was frustrated at the end of the year with the players dedication and then the news of the payroll being lowered im sure he probably felt it was time to hang it up.

May be a quick hire as a lot of people are speculating that Skip Schumaker is the heavy favorite to get the job.
