I think I’m beginning to understand how these overpaid baseball players work. Let me see if this is correct, your manager, Willie Randolph, creates a lineup with whomever is healthy enough to play. The players Willie Randolph sends out on the field fail to win, and Willie Randolph gets fired! Is that pretty much how it goes down? If that is not the most F’ed up thing going, I don’t know what is!

Let’s see here, Omar Minaya got the players which are either unable to stay on the field, or are too old to play. Willie Randolph puts those who are still healthy on the field and they don’t win. Omar Minaya fires Willie Randolph for the lack of wins. As you can tell, I’m still trying to figure out some of this! Yes I know you can’t fire the over-the-hill players who should not have gotten a contract to begin with, and I know the manager ALWAYS takes the hit, but where in this is the GM’s culpability?

Omar Minaya gave those players to Willie Randolph. You know the ones who are unable to play! Oh, and don’t forget they still get paid way more than you or me for not playing…

Willie Randolph is fired and Omar can continue with his job for supplying inadaquate ballplayers to Willie. I don’t know about you, but that equation seems a little one sided to me.

I’m not harping on Omar for the people he gave Willie other than Alou who can’t stay on the field, and Carlos Delgado who is too old to play, and how many others which continue to be injured… A LA Pedro Martinez….

My greatest excitment for the METS was not Pedro, it was getting Willie Randolph to manage the team. What has Pedro done for the team compare to what Willie Randolph has done?

I know it’s too late now so I have this to say about the whole thing;
“Thank you Willie Randolph for being a mans man and serving the team the way you did for your few short years. We love you Willie and wish you all the best. May GOD bless you and yours!”

A note to Omar, you are able to protect yourself by firing your manager, but you can’t hide the fact that your manager only had the players you gave him! It’s time to rethink your player hiring. Start with your scouts since they did not help you much over the past 4 years. You are next to go and you should have been first!! JMHO as a fan!
