Filed under: Mets, NL EastSay this much for Jerry Manuel: He's going down swinging.
Manuel's tenure as Mets manager will almost certainly come to an end shortly after the team's final out on Oct. 3, but that doesn't mean he takes kindly to people openly campaigning for a shot at his job. Joe Torre's been doing something close to that since he announced he won't be returning to the Dodgers in 2011, saying over the weekend and at Yankee Stadium on Monday that he'd listen if the Mets were to call him about an opening in their dugout.
Manuel spoke to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News on Tuesday and pulled no punches when it came to his thoughts on Torre's behavior.
"I find it curious when someone comments about a job somebody already has," Manuel said. "That's not integrity."
If only Manuel's lineup could swing bats with the same ferocity that their manager slings barbs. He's already been through this with Mets minor-league skipper Wally Backman and, clearly, doesn't want to deal with this mess any longer. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
