Willie Watch: 7.5!
Willie Watch – Back To One
A few years ago I was an extra at Yankee Stadium in the Adam Sandler movie Anger Management. During that long night (I was there from about 10:30 pm to 5:00 am) I learned quite a bit about being an extra – but one thing that really stuck was the phrase “Back To One.”
Back To One was used by the production crew when they had to reshoot a scene – everyone had to go back to the spot they were at for the start of the scene – back to your first position – back to one.
It seems to me that that Mets over the last year keep going Back To One – they move forward a little, gain some ground, then something happens and they fall back to where they started, back to the position they were in when they started – they go Back To One.
That is Willie Randolph’s legacy with the Mets: Back To One.
Two weeks ago the Mets returned home from out west under .500 having been swept by the Rockies, ready to take on a first place team at home.
Tonight the Mets are returning home from out west under .500, having been swept by the Padres, ready to take on a first place team at home.
Back To One
The Mets go over .500 then go under .500
Back To One
Willie is on the hot seat – Willie is safe
Back To One
It’s time to start the next scene. Time to wrap up this one and stop going
Back To One

Three straight one-run losses
2-4 on current road trip
Fourth place
6 1/2 games back
Why was Sandy Alomar holding Wright up at 3rd?
How can you score only one run with the bases loaded and none out?
The Red Sox guy pitches tomorrow, but the way the bats have been silent, and with Church still out…
tick…tick…tick…

>The author gives both New York stadiums a free pass because it’s their last seasons. I’m not…unless they start letting me in free and handing me a beer I’m going to comment on what I pay for. Yeah yeah everything is way overpriced – on a recent trip I offered to buy Cyclones Fan a beer, but I baled when he wanted one of fancy imported beers. I’ll buy you a beer but the cap is $10. I offered to give him a $20 but I’m not paying $11 for a cup of beer.
As for the rest of the local stadium food. It all is lousy. You knew that. Maybe the Italian Sausage is halfway serviceable some time. Let me know if they ever actually cook a pretzel. Read this article by clicking above where it says Times on Stadium Food…

Hot dogs and peanuts are still staples at major league ballparks, but rising stars include crab cakes and edamame. You want Champagne with that?
