After the bad managing by Mets Manager Willie Randolph yesterday in Game 2, the Met fans throughout the blog world are going crazy and many are demanding Willie get fired immediately. This has been expressed a lot lately, mainly through the comment sections of blogs, such as MetsBlog and Mets Merized.
In my opinion, this is ridiculous. First of all, Willie has done a great job since he became manger in 05. He's well over .500 and kept the team together throughout the good and the bad times. And despite 12 players on the DL, underachieving carlos's, and inconsistent pitching, people want Willie fired? You people are absolutely nuts. Yea, sure let's get someone to step in right now, who has no idea about the team and doesn't have a relationship with the team. That's a great idea. Last time I checked the Mets had the best record in the National League, despite all their problems. Willie has kept the team chemistry good throughout his 3 seasons and he's gotten the team to win. He's also done a great job at mentoring his young players, including Wright and Reyes. So, please cut all the crap all of you out there who want willie fired now....because you're not going to find anyone better out there. All managers make mistakes...not all managers are as good as Willie and I'm thrilled to have him. Willie is far from our biggest problem...and when you think about it...first place aint all that bad
