Show Notes

The postseason is another example of why tanking is bad.

Beware of lazy reporting on the Mets managerial search.

Historically the Mets haven’t synced up the right manager during the right time.

The media is already focused on the wrong things. Example is Beltran’s decade-old feud.

Joe Girardi is the right guy at the right time.

His Yankees tenor wasn’t easy and he has a track record of succeeding in adverse situation.

The Mets can’t afford to be wrong in this decision.

Show Notes

 - Mets Math was correct. 31 wins for 90 was the magic number. The Mets fell short. 

 - The Mets got beat and played tight at home.

- The second half showed elite offensive potential. 

- There are 6 to 7 core offensive players to be excited about. It's a unique time in Mets history.

- Don't be surprised if Mickey Callaway returns. 

- Why replace Callaway with another unknown. His faults are areas that can be improved upon. 

- Hiring anyone outside of a New York tested manager like Joe Girardi is foolish.  

- Thank you to the listeners for your support.
