Tony B. at it again...

Many feel that Tony Bernazard ran Willie Randolph out of town and some feel that if the Mets continue on their current course Bernazard will be the GM with Manny Acta as the manager.

According to Bill Madden of the Daily News, Bernazard is up to his old tricks, which many believe resulted in Randolph's firing. If Madden is right watch out Omar and Jerry.

As I've said before it's obvious to me, that the team needs at least one bat just to make it through, until the injured return and Omar is making a huge mistake by waiting to acquire one, regardless the cost. If I was a player ( which I'm clearly not) I would be motivated knowing that my mgr. was fighting for that bat and the line "we have enough to win" would frustrate me, since it's clear, that they don't. No, one game against Pittsburgh doesn't change my mind that this group has enough offense.

I'm told that assistant GM Tony Bernazard, whom Randolph found to be an intrusive influence in the clubhouse, especially with the Latin players, has been no less undermining with Jerry Manuel. For whatever reason, Bernazard seems to have the Wilpons' ears, even more so than Minaya, and in organization meetings he's never reticent to suggest areas where the manager might be doing a better job. I'm also told the Met high command ordered Manuel to tone down the not-so-subtle pleas for help in his pre and postgame mediafests and his periodic candor about his team's deficiencies. source Daily News
