I think there was a pretty significant stretch this season during which the Mets played some painfully uninspired baseball.  
	 
 
	That will always be in the manager’s shoulders, to me.  
	 
 
	That said - I do agree that injuries did him no favors, but every team deals with injuries.  
	 
 
	Overall. I think the firing was warranted.  
	 
 
	But I do love Buck and I do think he did a decent job with what he was given. Just not good enough.  
	 
 
	Onward and upward.
