If you don’t live in the New York area, then you probably missed what happened earlier this afternoon. The New York Mets, and more specifically, Omar Minaya, held a press conference to announce that they had fired VP of Player Development, Tony Bernazard. While that was supposed to be the story of the conference, Minaya apparently went to the Alex Rodriguez school of press conferences, and instead of cleaning up the situation, made it infinitely worse.

It was one thing that Minaya was scrambling around trying to figure out what he was going to say, and in doing so, seemed to keep digging himself a deeper and deeper hole. Yet just when you thought it was awkward, the Mets GM made it that much more so by calling out Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News, the writer who broke the story.
