FJM takes on Jerry Manuel

Aww shucks. So far the Mets have been left relatively untouched by the critical mind of Fire Joe Morgan. Until now.

FJM pretty much rips apart some of the latest Jerry Manuel comments about "clarity" and "statistical numbers."

Either way, they do present some good ideas for batting practice. Four and five are the best.
4. Kidnap Carlos Delgado's kids and hold them at gunpoint while Carlos takes BP. "You like pressure, Carlos? This is what the playoffs feel like." Then, after Carlos strokes a home run, shoot one of the kids. Just in the leg, though. Remember, it's just a game.

5. Strap Luis Castillo to a speeding train. "Unless you hit in the clutch, Castillo becomes the meat in a train sandwich." Everyone comes through, and you reveal that you basically just wanted Castillo gone anyway.
So true about Castillo. So true.
