BREAKING NEWS!!!

As of 3:15 this morning, Willie Randolph is no longer the manager of the New York Mets. A press release stated his firing, as well as Rick "The Jacket" Peterson's, and 1st base coach Tom Nieto. The news was broken about 12:15 Pacific time after the Mets' 9-6 win over the Angels.

Randolph has had a roller coaster ride of a managerial career. He has taken the Mets a game shy of the World Series. He has led them into the biggest collapse in the history of baseball. Randolph has seen both the good and the bad, and definitely the ugly. He is being temporarily replaced by bench coach Jerry Manuel, and the rest of the coaching staff will be filled out by Ken Oberkfall and Dan Warthen, the manager and pitching coach of the Mets' AAA affiliate in New Orleans.

I'm not going to make this one to long. All I really need to say is that I'm happy and sad to see him go at the same time. It's saddening, because he was a great player, and a hometown hero, being raised in Brooklyn. But, I can say I am ecstatic to be rid of him as a manager. Not every great player can manage, just ask Frank Robinson. (Hall of Fame Player who led several teams to a 1065-1176 career record)

I guess this post is done. Oh yeah. Fuck you Billy Wagner. Either get a meaningful save, or go eat a dick in Philadelphia.
