Joel Sherman at The New York Post seems to think so. I like Showalter’s many years of experience in the game, he has a few Manager of the Year’s under his belt as well as 3 division tiles and I would damn well prefer Showalter over Tim Bogar, Carlos Beltran or any of the other…

Yet Another Met Fail As Phillies Sign Joe Girardi
Here we go again, the best manager available on the market and we can’t get him. To make matters worse, he signs with our division rival Phillies. I’ll tell you what: whoever Brodie Van Wagenen does hire, they go up or down together.
Carlos Beltran Wants Mets Manager Job, But They Shouldn’t Give It To Him
Do the Mets have to make everything hard? I mean, Beltran played for us, had some great years as a player, is a borderline HOF’er and seems like an all-around likeable guy who would especially appeal to the Latino players on the club. But like Mickey Callaway did before the Mets hired him, Beltran also…
Mets Fire Mickey Callaway
Good…now hire Joe Girardi.
If Mets Fire Mickey Callaway Then They Should Hire Joe Girardi
Even though they didn’t make the playoffs this year, 86-76 and 3rd place in the NL East is still a big improvement from 2018. And of course, who isn’t excited about the breakout season’s J.D. Davis, Pete Alonso and Seth Lugo had? Plus, there’s a good possibility of back-to-back Cy Young’s for Jacob deGrom. That…
Mets Lose To Marlins, 2019 Season Appears To Be Over
5 games back from the 2nd wild-card slot with only 6 games left = on life support.
Pete Alonso’s 50th Homer of 2019
Mets Finally Give In and Let Noah Syndergaard Have His Own Catcher
NYPost.com: The schedule and altitude are convenient excuses, at least publicly, for manager Mickey Callaway to give Noah Syndergaard a personal catcher Wednesday. Callaway acknowledged Tuesday that Rene Rivera is scheduled to start behind the plate for Syndergaard in the Mets’ series finale at Coors Field. Wilson Ramos was the catcher on Tuesday, a night…
Juan Lagares’ 2 HR’s Mets Sweep Diamondbacks
Hey, considering that Lagares is near the end of his contract, he has every reason to be motivated to play well now. Either way, we’ll take it.
Phillies Take Series From Mets At Citi Field
Syndergaard has a so-so outing, the bullpen didn’t help matters and Conforto and Alonso were nowhere to be found. With 3 weeks left, our wild-card hopes continue to dimmer.
No One Could’ve Predicted Edwin Diaz Would Be This Bad
How does an All-star reliever fall this far? And how does Mickey Callaway still trust using Diaz in key situations? From this point forward Familia’s my set-up man and Lugo is my closer.
Pete Alonso Sets Mets’ HR Record with 42nd Homer
When you consider that Alonso is a rookie who they debated even calling up at the start of the season, him breaking the single season HR record really is incredible.
Mets Waste Yet Another Stellar Jacob deGrom Start
This continues to amaze me. How the Mets bats go silent seemingly a majority of the time when their ace deGrom is on the mound. And last night the Braves had Mike Foltynewicz on the hill, their 4th or 5th starter with a 5-plus ERA coming in and they could only get two hits off…
J.D. Davis: “Hey Mets Fans, We Did It Again, Woooooo!!!!”
And now you know that if you do a walk-off, you’re getting your shirt taken off. RELATED: It’s amazing how far J.D. Davis has come from Astros afterthought
Mickey Callaway Doing His Best To Ruin Mets Season
Steven Matz retires 14 Braves in a row on only 79 pitches and Callaway takes him out of the game. And yes, Seth Lugo might’ve blown the game anyway, but there was just no conceivable reason to take out Matz so early, esp. when there was no Lugo was pitching 3 innings and your closer…
