How is this guy NOT fired?!?!
On the heels of yesterday's relevation that Mets VP of player development Tony Bernazard ripped his shirt off and challenged minor-league players to fight him, now we find out the blowhard Bernazard has been involved in a series of even more bizarre instances over the recent weeks.
We're not even going to mention last night's 3-1 loss to Washington. No one cares anymore anyway. But how Bernazard's job is safe for now is beyond me, and just about everyone else that operates a successful business.
Regarding the fight incident, the Mets are stating they are "taking the matter seriously and investigating the situation". Our reaction? Complete BS (and no, I don't mean "blown save"). If the Mets were really taking this seriously, they would have fired this disgrace immediately - there is no need for any investigation.
He rips his shirt off and challenges players to a fight (now that's player development, right!?), then a new report says he unleashed a blazing barage of profanities and pouted like a child when he couldn't get the seat he wanted at a recent home game. Now we find out he had words with our All-Star closer Francisco Rodriquez on the team bus last week in Atlanta.
KROD's too classy to discuss the matter. But knowing how entitled Bernazard feels, we can probably guess pretty correctly at the conversation. When Met players say Bernazard is having a cancerous effect in the Mets' clubhouse, it's time for action - and the only action it's time for is firing action, no committees, no investigations, no panels, no "let's see what happens" inaction.
We can see how poorly this team is playing and call for the firing of Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel on job performance, but we certainly can't cite them for boorish behaviors. Whether the Mets decide to keep them or fire them, it'll be based on a business decision and we as fans have to live with that. Incompetance? Maybe... But Minaya and Manuel on all surfaces seem to be good people. The same can't be said for Tony Bernazard - and that's exactly why he needs to be immediately fired if this organization wants to keep whatever level of respect they have left.
Let's face it. Fan's all over the country think the Mets are pathetic from the top to the bottom. Firing Bernazard will go a long way in telling the paying and viewing public that the kind of public antics displayed by him and those like him will not be tolerated!
Ask yourself this: Would YOU be fired in your job for the lack of professionalism Bernazard portrays on a consistent basis? The obvious response from anyone in the real world: "How is this guy NOT fired already!?!"
Here's our suggestion for the Mets if it'll make their decision any easier: take a West Coast trip, and fire this incompetant boob at 3:00 in the morning! Just like Bernazard did to Willie Randolph... Until then, as long as Bernazard's collecting a paycheck from the Mets, it makes it very hard to be a fan of this team.
