He has a 3-1/2 year record of 302-253, He has had a lot of bad luck this year with injuries to players and pitchers, I just dont think it was his fault though I really dont like the Mets. Though I don't hate them like the Yankees.
WOULD YOU HAVE FIRED HIM

Sounds like they might have rushed the firing. I don't follow the Mets so I don't really have much of an opinion about him. I am surprised however how many shoddy managers are floating around, fire them all! Especially Cooper.

Cooper is safe for this season. If Draytie was to fire another black manager, MLB and Jesse Jackson would be on him like ugly on Albert! ;D

Not only Jesse mofo, the whole Black Panther Party would be on his ass. Mets fire a good man and player just because he can't get the honkys to play ball. That sh*t ain't right!

I f Cooper got fired, brotha Jesse would have Jeremiah Wright, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, and, his wife, Buckwheat Obama all called in on the case. This field hand will keep his job because Draytie only hired Cooper because he is black and because Bud Selig wanted him to hire a black manager. It would have been nice if we could have found one who knew what he is doing. This guy sits around wanting an orange soda water, ribs, chicken, and watermelon instead of thinking about how to put a winning lineup on the field.

This guy sits around wanting an orange soda water, ribs, chicken, and watermelon instead of thinking about how to put a winning lineup on the field. First of all I am from Iowa and what the heck is an orange soda water? Then I would like to defend ribs, chicken, and watermelon. While putting a winning team on the field is important, what would the world be without ribs, chicken, and watermelon. I don't know if I could live without those good foods but I can and have lived for many years without the Astros winning like they should. So I guess while winning is great and everything, it doesn't stick to yo ribs, like ribs, chicken, and watermelon. |

I call Coke, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, and all that stuff "soda water". Of course, when I was a kid we called a slingshot a n*gger shooter.

gotta agree with JB here all fizzy stuff in bottles was Soda Water and today I still say that and people look at me like I am crazy. On the sling shot of course that was their name XXshooter if you lived in a small town like Conroe was back then. I here Conroe is quite the Metropolis today

When I was a kid, it was called soda water, soda pop, fizz, etc. I also heard my grandma refer to a broken bottle as a ni**er knife!  I think my grandma was kind of racist though! ;D |

I have never even heard soda water before. I have been to Texas several times. We call it pop, or by the trade name as far as I can remember. I have heard it called straight soda. Has Hell on wheels lived in Iowa? I don't recall ever calling anything soda water, but Iowa is a big state, almost as big as Texas. ;D

Though have been there several times by scoot. my father was a Photographer for Owens Mills back then and we traveled a lot and moved a lot, remember them guys that came to your house or the 10cent store to take the Kids pics. |

Yep, I do. I believe they went from school to school. I am sure I have some Owen mills pictures around. Maybe your dad took them. I believe that company is still around. They took church pictures too.
