Losing with Santana on the mound doesn’t help the Willie Watch. By the time Santana starts again, someone else will be manager.
Willie Watch – Peter Gammons: If The Mets Have Someone Else, Willie Is Gone
Peter Gammons was just on ESPN’s Mike & Mike In The Morning Show and when asked about Randolph had this to say:
“To be honest, I think that if there were another manager out there that they thought was an immediate fix, Willie would be gone.”
Gammons continued that maybe there needs to be a fire lit under the team and that Jerry Manuel, while a good man, is too much like Willie.
Peter, as we have been saying here at the Mets Police for a few weeks now, there is someone that can step in immediately.
Let the Lee countdown clock start.
>Willie Watch – Randolph Digging His Own Grave
>While we here at The Mets Police are clearly in favor of the Mets firing Randolph, we have restrained from name calling – not so others. There is a scathing article by Paul Ruddick at The Sports Network in response to Willie’s racial/it’s not racial comments:
“Randolph is a moron, plain and simple. It’s a desperate move to pull the race card. I am almost embarrassed to admit that Randolph was one of my idols growing up.”
He continues with something most of us have been thinking about: “I used to wonder why it took Randolph so long to become a manager. Now I know why. He is just not that good. There is a reason he was passed over for just about every job in the league. Maybe he doesn’t have the temperament to be a big league skipper.“
Ruddick goes on to suggest taht Willie’s replacement should not be Lee as we feel, but rather Wally Backman. While I love Backman and agree with Ruddick that he has been short-changed, I don’t see Wilpon willing to give him another chance in MLB.
