Mets owner: Minaya will be back as GM
The Mets’ reign of error is set to continue into 2011.
The team’s principal owner, Fred Wilpon, on Thursday said he is planning to stick with general manager Omar Minaya beyond this year, despite the threat of a second straight losing season.
Wilpon, in East Hartford, Conn., to help announce a new partnership between SNY and UConn athletics, brushed aside reporters’ inquiries about his floundering Mets. But as Wilpon walked away, a Post reporter asked if Minaya would remain the team’s GM beyond this year.
“Is the sun going to come up tomorrow?” Wilpon answered.
Minaya is signed through the 2012 season and still owed more than $2 million.
Last August, in the midst of a nightmarish 70-win season, Wilpon offered a similar endorsement for Minaya, answering “Absolutely. That’s a fact,” when asked by The Post if Minaya would remain as GM in 2010.
To further infuriate his fan base, Wilpon also gave a thumbs up on the job performance by his son, team COO Jeff Wilpon. As Fred Wilpon ducked into a chauffeured automobile he was asked about the job Jeff is doing,
“Excellent,” Fred Wilpon said. “Everybody knows that.”
Help!!!!
I’m in fan hell with an owner who is out to lunch! It’s absolutely clear that Fred Wilpom belongs in a straight jacket if he thinks that GM Omar Minaya and his idiot, non graduating-from-college-ass son Jeff is doing a good job.
What more proof do you need that dementia has set in?
This team needs to be blown up because they’re a bunch of chokers!
Donald Trump, please give Fred Wilpon an offer he can’t refuse!
