Bye Bye, Willie

As much as I hate the Mets and have enjoyed their implosion over the last few months, I feel bad for Willie - the Mets have bungled this whole firing thing in about as every way possible.

But the thing that always bugged me about them hiring Willie in the first place is that they didn't let him choose his own coaches. This drove me insane. You're an owner/general manager etc; how could possibly think you know more about who a manager trusts for day to day decisions than the manager himself? An atrocious, beyond-egocentric decision. With a rather predictable ending after all.
