Rant: The Willie Randolph Firings June 19, 2008

I just need to get this whole big rant off my chest. No one has to give a shit about it, no one has to comment on it.

 

Willie Randolph should not have been fired from my personal favorite team, the New York Mets. It happened for two main reasons: PR and covering Omar Minaya’s ass.

 

Willie Randolph turned The Mets around after the disastrous Art Howe years, and it disappoints me that he has been run out of town like the two managers before him. In my opinion, he couldn’t have done much to prevent the 2007 season collapse. Same thing for this season.

 

It’s not Willie Randolph that was screwing shit up, it was the actual players, who have the talent to win the World Series, they just haven’t been playing to their full potential. A manager cant just force his players to do a good job out their. You can lead a horse to the water, but you can’t make it drink.

 

If The Mets don’t turn around their season soon, Omar Minaya will be the next to get fired.

 

And before anyone starts screaming at me about where I was before this happened, I would like to mention that I was against him being fired from the start.

 

This is the worst decision Fred Wilpon has ever made.

 

That being said, good luck, Jerry Manuel. While I would have preferred Willie Randolph to stay, at least for the remainder of the season, I am certain you will be an excellent manager. I hope we can make it to the World Series with you in the future. Though maybe not this season, someday.

 

Let’s take New York back from The Yankees like we did in the ’80s!
