He messed up the Expos and has moved onto the Mets. In this regard, Boston's appointment of Theo Epstein (descendant of one of the authors of Cassablanca) looks so much smarter. Only one bad trade (the Gagne one) and one bad free agent signing (Lugo) is on his cv. I’ve never understood why people have such a high regard for Omar Minaya.

A Mr. Avram Grant - do you know him? I'm afraid that your astute reading of our roster weaknesses and your apparent willingness to sacrifice crowd pleasing selection for hard-nosed results does not lend itself to our ambitions to be perennial bridesmaids and also rans in the New York City sporting pantheon. However, we do have a forthcoming position at short stop as Mr. Reyes as indicated his interest in a management role and our strong feeling is that his telegenic presence will ensure an adequate substitute for Mr. Randolph's strengths in this area which will be sorely missed. So, please feel free to approach us in this regard. Yours etc... L.G. Mets Dear Mr. Norman,

But if it doesn't work out, you can always push popcorn and dogs in the upper mezzanine. I'm sure they could use you. :>) GB Rob,
