Randolph fired, Yay!

I don't know if I would say that. I think personally the team was a bit overhyped after the signing of Johan Santana. Is it a good move? Only one way to find out, see what happens from this point forward. I think personally the Mets need an overhaul change from top to bottom as far as some players and possibly even the management.

I agree it was overdue. A team with that talent on paper should be over .500. Many times the players playing with no emotion is a reflection of the manager. Now if only the Blue Jays north of the border would quickly do the same to John Gibbons and his batting coach. It is the same in Toronto as it was for the Mets. Too much talent and absolutely no offense. Pitching staff is one of the strongest in the league yet they can't manufacture a run most nights to win the close ones. They need to do it soon so that they can get back into the palyoff race.

I think I remember him spouting racism last year when the Mets choked big time at the end of the season. Granted, I haven't read the NY newspapers, but I highly doubt that they would blame Willie's failure to manage his team to win because he is black! There are alot of talented players on that team and they haven't been producing. All teams go into a slump, but theirs began last year. Willie doesn't want to admit that he is part of the problem, not for being black, but for not being able to motivate his players to play at their best. Willie chose to blame the press and call them racists?! Oh Please!! Maybe he thought it would be a cakewalk with that talnted team. To tell his team they should play like the Yankees is definitely one reason they would tune him out. That is not the right way to get the best out of your players, comparing them to the team that gets most of the attention in NY. Playing in NY is tough, but so is playing in Chicago. Personally, I think the manager is 1/4 of a losing teams problem, the players have to own up to the rest. I do know the press doesn't have anything to do with a teams performance and no one can or should blame them for a losing season!! PEACE

I am generally happy that Mr. Randolph is out of NY because I heard that he was encouraging racism in his locker room between the American Born Players and the Latin American Players that is why they were losing the key games. But now they are winning and are closing in on the Phillies of Philadelphia, Don't be surprised to see anybody moving anytime soon, except the possibility of a Pedro Martinez Trade. Also don't expect them to make the playoffs but expect them to come close and possibly collapse again

they've really had success since he left. thats too bad though... im a braves fan. haha
