After beating Peter Polansky yesterday at the U.S. Open,  James Blake took a whack at Mets manager Jerry Manuel and the Mets. Here's the transcript:

 Q. You have the Mets cap on. Should Manuel go?

JAMES BLAKE: Man, I don't know. I don't want to start a feud with them.

 

Q. Talk as a fan.

JAMES BLAKE: As a fan, I'd love to see some change because the last couple years have been rough. I like the guys. Reyes, Wright, Beltran, Santana has had a great year, just such hard luck. He has no run support. I think it might be time for a change. Hopefully they can have a better year next year.

 

Q. Who do you see as manager?

JAMES BLAKE: I don't know. I'm a tennis player, not a baseball player. I don't know who is the best candidate. But maybe it's time for a change. We'll see.
