Terrible Tuesday
So today is a terrible Tuesday for me. First, let's begin with the bunch of fun I will be having shortly at the Dentists office. Getting this damn wisdom tooth removed proved to have no wisdom. UGH!
Secondly, as a HUGE New York Mets fan I woke up to terrible news today. The manager for the New York Mets was fired last night after the Mets actually won a game. While there might be some understandable reasons for firing your manager in the middle of the night, after a win, I can't help but really be mad at the Mets hierarchy right now.
I don't think they conducted themselves in a manner that is due to someone like Willie Randolph. Willie had shown a lot of class and poise during the good and bad times he managed the Mets. Who knows what will happen to this team now?
To Willie I say this to you: Hold your head up high. You always did your best and if you're the one to take the blame for old players not being able to play to their potential, so be it. You know in your heart of hearts that it wasn't you who lost the games after your relievers couldn't throw a strike to save their lives, it wasn't you who struck out with your bat on your shoulder with one game to go to the World Series. It wasn't you who blew three consecutive saves with tons of runs on the scoreboard. And it certainly wasn't you who decided to let go of Ruben Gotay, Brian Bannister, Paul LoDuca, and many other stinkers Omar Minaya has done up to this point.
If this team no longer performs on the level it's supposed to, I say look at Omar Minaya as he's the one who assembled this team.
Good Luck Willie!
Thanks for all the Amazin' Years as the Mets Manager.

Okay, so I just finished reading your blog and I have a lump in my throat! Awww, poor Willie. You are right on. I just can't understand how the Mets organization would behave in such a tasteless and offensive way. I'm sick and tired of always looking like the 2nd rate team in New York and this is largely due to the poor decisions of management. Willie did his best and although I do believe he is partly to blame, he didn't deserve this. Not like this. Omar, brace yourself, you're next.
Let this be a lesson. Don't talk sideways on interview. It will catch up to you.
