Slice of bacon, please

Following the Mets the past week all I've been able to think about is a quote from Mick McCarty back when he was managing the Irish national team.

Everyone has a good time watching it, but you want to try sitting in that dug-out with your backside in the bacon slicer!

Mets manager Willie Randolph may well wish it was only a slice of bacon that was on the line. I imagine many Met fans will want him skinned - dead or alive, it won't matter - if things don't turn around this weekend. The Mets are standing on the edge of history, only it's the kind of history no team ever want to be part of.
