Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

It just felt like a low blow ... If he had a problem with me or anything like that, you'd think he'd tell it to my face. I had plenty of opportunity to talk while I was wearing that uniform. It just was like, all right, now that I'm wearing another one, why would he come out and say that?

ESPN - Church upset with Manuel comments

After Mets third baseman David Wright was hit in the head by a 94 mph fastball last weekend, causing a concussion, Manuel said Wright was a "different animal" than Church, who missed much of last season with New York following a pair of concussions.

"From the outside looking in, the smartest thing to do obviously was to go on [the DL]. But for me, I was trying to just get back and play. I mean, they were telling me if I would have went out there and got another one, my career would have been over. And that didn't really sink in. And it wasn't like anybody was telling me, no, don't do it, go on the DL," Church said.

Looking back now, he knows it was unwise.

Jerry Manuel should concentrate more on keeping his job than his former players.

To be fair

His 4 top position players are on the DL. It’s tough to win in the majors with a bunch of minor leaguers, Sheffield, Castillo, and Frenchy.

That has 0 to do with the rotation that he helped assemble, or the fact that he thinks Church sucks as a player.

this is true

but even if they had our rotation, they would still struggle to win because of offense. They would be similar to how we were at the beginning of the year, but probably worse. The rotation and thinking that Church sucks is just adding insult to injury.
