The sorry state of the Mets isn't just a local issue at this point. Last night on The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien got in on the fun showing just how deep dysfunction runs within the organization right now.

Well, it's pretty apparent that Mets general manager Omar Minaya's press conference to announce the firing of VP of player development Tony Bernazard did not go as planned. The NY Times wrote, "Three and a half months into a season marked by bile and buffoonery, the Mets added to the chaos Monday, when they turned a news conference announcing the dismissal of a high-ranking executive into an almost surreal confrontation with a reporter who regularly covers the team."

One week after news surfaced that Tony Bernazard, Mets VP of Player Development challenged the Mets' AA farm team to a fight and is generally out of control, the Mets fired the hot head. The Post is reporting that Bernazard has been fired and that the move will be announced at the team's 3:30 press conference. No news on whether Minaya has plans to announce his own firing at the press conference as well.
