Willie Randolph Fired
That picture must seem like an eternity ego for Willie Randolph. If you haven't heard by now, the Mets fired Willie Randolph late Monday night after the Mets beat the Angels 9 to 6 in the first game of a west coast road trip.
Personally I think the Mets handled this entire thing horribly. It is a sad reality in sports that when a team isn't performing up to expectations the coach or manager takes the brunt of the blame. This is the reality because in most cases players make much more than coaches and there are obviously more of them. So in order to make some kind of change to hopefully spark your team, the coach is really the only easily changed position. I completely understand why the Mets fired Willie, even if I don't agree with it, but the way they did it is just despicable.
