>Willie Watch: ESPN Says Wilpons Ain't Calling Back

>

ESPN reports:

Randolph tried to reach out to the Mets’ owners Wednesday, getting no response before he publicly apologized for the comments he made recently suggesting he was portrayed in a different manner than white managers.

When asked why Mets ownership didn’t return Randolph’s calls, Jay Horwitz, the team’s media relations vice president, told 1050 ESPN Radio’s Andrew Marchand on Thursday that “Omar Minaya returned the call on behalf of Mets’ ownership.”

Randolph and Mets Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon usually speak often, which seems to make the Wilpons’ decision not to return Randolph’s call telling. Wilpon declined to comment Thursday when contacted by 1050 ESPN Radio.

I smell a press conference on Tuesday.

>Torre Surfs The Willie Watch

>

“It’s a tough market,” Torre said. “Willie is a good man, he’s had success as a player and a manager. Unfortunately, with what happened last year, he’s having to endure some things tough to endure.

“People get caught up on both sides of the equation. He’s under a great deal of pressure, as is [Yankees manager] Joe Girardi, as was I [for 12 years as the Yankees manager]. Maybe you’re not as well-rested one day and you get a little cranky.”

I like Joe’s new commercial that was on during Idol – Joe adjusting to life in LA – but I can’t find it online to share.

>Willie Watch: Wilpons Don't Return His Calls?

>

Howie Rose mentioned in the first inning that Willie said the Wilpons wouldn’t return his calls. VERY interesting.

Good stuff out of the SNY guys last night – Keith said he wanted to be a Dodger but that his father convinced him to stay with the 1984 Mets because Hernandez Senior had watched minor league games and thought the Mets had some good prospects coming.

WCBS lead news story this morning is will Willie go.

Wouldn’t shock me if there’s a press conference at Shea on Tuesday. Wouldn’t shick me if acting manager Jerry Manuel manages Monday night.

And since I have nothing to add that I haven’t said 50 times (fire Willie, hire Mazzilli) I’ll leave you with a link which is obviously a farce: Girardi is no more of a Met than Willie.
