The New York Mets are returning to the scene of their last in-season firing of a manager. Yet, it appears Carlos Mendoza will survive this three-game series in Anaheim, California, unlike Willie Randolph.

Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns told MLB.com that the 10-21, last-place Mets "don't view this as a manager problem, and don't intend to make a change."

That will surely come as at least a temporary relief for Mendoza, their third-year manager who has parried numerous inquiries about his job security as the Mets' season continues deterioriating. The club lost six of nine games against Minnesota, Colorado and Washington, a homestand that figured to serve as a referendum on Mendoza, given the opponents' mediocrity.

But no, Mendoza made the flight to California and figures to accompany the club through the rest of its nine-game trek to Arizona and Colorado.

Yet what about after that?
