         well yes, but I can’t listen to audio at work, so a quick summary couldn’t hurt.

         I mean, did he have anything particularly insightful to say regarding news or Bay or pitching rotations or thoughts going forward from the manager/team or was it just his opinion on what the Mets need/will do and btw they’re out of it so stop caring because i predicted they suck and will stick with that?

            Pointless to make a change in season managerial wise.

            Minaya may have more of an advisory role.

            Wilpons will have a big say if Manuel is fired.

            Gave reasons to why Backman may be next manager.
            1. Money 2. Sells better to fans

            discussed a scenario where the Longer Jerry goes this season the better chance at backman becoming manager.

               I believe it was Rubin who recently wrote a long thorough column on why Backman was likely to be the manager in 2011 and you just summed up the key points here.

               I believe it was part of ESPNNY’s “Tuesday in-depth” series (or a name similar to that).

               #1 reason for making Backman manager next year is $$.

               That is just sad…..
