Took them long enough.
seriously, someone needs to consider Hensley Meulens, he has done a great job with the Netherlands WBC team (http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...ager-hensley-meulens-hopes-mlb-managerial-job).

Joe is coming back.
If they would have lost in the ALDS after that non review then I don't think he would be. However since they've gotten as far as they have I think they'll bring him back. I'm sure Joe wants to stay because of how much he loves the organization.

Makes sense.
Blue Jays or bust.
Is Collins done age wise or Mets wise?

I'm guessing 2001 in Arizona?
Although that was late October/early November, but it would still be my guess.
EDIT: Seems I'm wrong, it only got up to 94°F

plus it has a roof, they just close it and crank the AC

From the wording on that page, it seems they only count games with the roof open:
That would seem to indicate to me that the games recorded were played "outdoors" / with the roof open
He's a really cool guy and seems well loved in the Ms clubhouse. I'll be sad to see him go (and his swelmet/man of the game tweets) but yeah he deserves another chance.

I hope the Mets bring in Dusty Baker. I think he deserves a 5th chance.

Dodgers were a mistake.

Seriously, Dusty is about as far from a Moneyball manager as there is available. So unless he shared a frat house with Uncle Fred, hes got no chance.

Manny Acta lit up the room today during his interview and sounds like the favorite for the Mets job.

Indeed. Was hoping the Braves would have hired him.
I second this.

I agree, there were some plays last night Culberson made that seager wouldn't have made

Checking in. Not totally surprised by the Dusty firing. Hes had some really bad luck but they simply were not doing enough come playoff time and its ultimately a business.
Lets go Yanks!

some bad luck?
I would say he has had an incredible run of luck his entire managerial career.
by all accounts he is terrible at his job, yet he still somehow keeps being in charge of teams that have a ton of talent and make it to the playoffs despite him.
also.. go astros.

How do you figure losing all of those elimination games not being bad luck, especially after being up, lol
it's just some normalizing luck.
I mean if you walk down the street and every day you find $20.
and then for a period of 3 days you lost $5 on that walk instead of finding $20.
I don't think you would say overall that you have had really bad luck. especially since dusty will no doubt find another job with another team and go back to his finding $20 on every walk ways

For someone who has managed as many good teams as Dusty has, he deserves better. He went through the misery of the 2003 Cubs and now all of these Nationals collapses. He deserves better. Not saying the guy is the best manager in the world, but he deserved more from an individual accomplishment level.
Nah. If he managed your favorite team and you watched him on a daily basis you'd understand.

That's just the thing - "For someone who has managed as many good teams as Dusty has," he has done poorly with them. They were good teams that he managed badly. A better manager would have done more with the hands that he's been given. The fact that he's a bad manager isn't "bad luck" - it's that he's a bad manager.
Stros gonna push this to 7 . How many Kate Upton close ups tonight?
I hope so, then the Cubs/Red Sox circle has been completed.
