Mets fired the wrong guy

For years I've been wondering how people in major league baseball get their jobs. More and more it seems to me that it's not very different from the real world. It's just somebody's friend or someone who fills a quota.  Omar Minaya has no organizational skills, based on how he handled the Willie Randolph firing - sending an e-mail at 3:00 a.m. New York time is so gutless, as well as a bush league move - and has little baseball acumen. He blew money on over-rated free agents like Carlos Beltran and Pedro Martinez, and paid no attention to other parts of the roster, parts that can make teams winners.  Firing the manager is rarely the solution to a baseball team's problems. Minaya is just like so many others in baseball. A B.S. artist and a complete phony.
