What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Another blog weighs in:
After Billy Wagner’s explosion in the locker room, the notion that Randolph has lost control of his team was finally nailed shut into it’s coffin. He does not inspire the team, he does not wrangle the team. He does nothing, and hopes the team does it’s job.

Heard Wagner doing a major backpedal claiming he wasn’t calling anyone out. Stick to your guns Wags – we all heard the audio.
The Canadian press is reporting:
Mets manager Willie Randolph called a closed-door meeting in response to the latest remarks by closer Billy Wagner, who said Friday he was being critical of the media, not his teammates. “I don’t try to insulate them. I don’t care that they know that my head’s on the block or something like that. I mean, that shouldn’t be their concern,” he said before Friday’s Subway Series opener at Yankee Stadium was postponed by rain.
Asked as a follow-up whether he thought his job was in danger, Randolph said he wasn’t speaking seriously.
“I’m not concerned about that,” he responded. “I was just making just a joke, a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing.”
Third baseman David Wright called the session a “heart to heart” in which teammates were encouraged to approach each other with criticism and not go through the media.
General manager Omar Minaya said Randolph’s job wasn’t in danger.
“I’m very supportive and continue to be supportive of Willie Randolph,” he said.

Lots and lots of posts today all over the internet about Willie.
Lots of sports talk about Willie.
Lots of newspaper columns about Willie.
Willie didn’t get it done in 2007.
Willie is one game over .500
Willie is getting booed when he goes to the mound.
We’ve seen this pattern before and it reminds me of Buddy Harrelson’s demise.
Willie’s not going to make it, now it’s just a matter of when they slump and Omar pulls the trigger.
Mr. Mazzilli should make sure his cellphone is on.
