Will Carroll at BP reporting that Peterson's been fired.

I'm guessing that means Willie is safe...?

It says, "sources tell him" and, "this cannot be confirmed" ... not exactly cutting edge news. This whole sources thing the last couple of weeks is tiring. I hope a couple of people come out in the end and make the Mets brass look like ass-wipes even more than they're coming across.

As yet, this cannot be confirmed, though reports this weekend have been leaning this way. We’ll know more shortly no confirmation anywhere else and not even a mention on WFAN so far

Carroll admits his sources are shit: ]UPDATE: The sources were both incorrect. My apologies for the error. I consistently got “no comments” from Mets sources and do believe that Peterson remains in jeopardy. However, that decision has not yet been made … or made public

Oh, he believed. Well, that's one way to vet information before printing it. See, shit like that isn't the Mets' fault.

If there is even any "rumbling" on any kind of source, another radio station, paper, a random blog, you can bet 1050 ESPN Radio will run it without any kind of double checking. Even after its been denied by all involved!

="AG/DC"]Oh, he believed. Well, that's one way to vet information before printing it. See, shit like that isn't the Mets' fault. Exactly, and that makes others feel that the reality of the situation is that the manager and coaches really are being treated on a day-to-day, minute-to-minute basis and they don't know when the axe is going to fall. That may be true, but then again, it might still not be true. But with all these rumors and rumblings going around, hardly ANY of it coming from official sources, it makes anti-Met people like Michael Kay (granted he is more pro-Willie than anti-Met) think that the Met organization are a bunch of scumbags for this.

Oh, I apologize for jumping the gun yesterday evening. I should have qualified my statement with a "sources told him" or something like that. Sorry, won't happen again.

Nymr83 Jun 17 2008 11:33 AM

i was bashing on Carroll for publishing a story with no sources or bullshit ones, wasnt attacking you

Grote15 Jun 17 2008 05:27 PM

At any rate Fucktard Peterson is gone

AG/DC Jun 17 2008 06:10 PM

Shut up, cleon.

SteveJRogers Jun 17 2008 06:12 PM

Well, hopefully this means more pinstripes at home!

Recent polls suggest 100% of posters are unfooled by you changing your handle. Considering your syntax, punctuation, and spelling are unchanged, it's pretty easy. Since you resigned (again) last time cursing people out, and were subsequently banned, I'm not really going to sweat it when you throw dung around the forum and cry that you're abused.
