Jerry Manuel and the Mets had a major breakthrough during yesterdays post game press conference and the result just may change the way the Mets skipper uses his players for the rest of the season. The moment came when Jerry was questioned by a reporter about how he was able to use nearly his entire bullpen in a game the Mets never really led by fewer than 4 runs.
Jerry's answer? "Yeah it was very unfortunate that I was unable to get Nieve into the game there. I'm not sure how the league will handle that kind of thing. We'll just have to wait and see."
When asked what in the world he was talking about Jerry pulled out a copy of the rule book and sited the everyone must play rule and how he regretted short changing Nieve. The only problem? Manuel was using a Little League rule book.
When a reporter pointed out the error, Jerry simply chuckled his Jerry chuckle and thanked the reporter for making his job easier.
Looking back now it makes perfect sense. Ever wondered how Jerry could empty the bench in the 7th inning of a 1-1 game. Now you know. Jerry is not a bad manager, he is simply getting all his players into the game to make it fair and avoid any problems with the player's parents. Way to go Jerry!
