Wait, what's that? They fired Willie?? AFTER having him fly across the country to manage one fucking game that they won??? AFTER he faced the reporters and was forced to answer questions about his uncertain job status???? Even though before he got on the bus to the fucking airport in New York he sensed something was amiss so repeatedly asked if he was about to get fired????? You seriously sent out a press release at 3:15 in the fucking morning New York to announce the news??????
ARGGHHHH!!!!!
Whether or not it was the right move to fire the manager (it probably was but it won't solve the deep-rooted problems of the team) there was not a worse way to handle the situation. The word I keep hearing thrown around in regards to the firing is "disgraceful." Fucking fire him before he flies to California or wait until he's at least checked into the damned hotel. Of course the Wilpons, the owners of the team, are incredibly sensitive to the public perception of their investment, which makes it even more mind boggling that they didn't see this coming.
Last night after the Celtics game I was checking out the bottom line on ESPN looking for a Mets score when I saw an item scroll by about the fiasco. The Wilpons released a statement saying the timing and the decision were all GM Omar Minaya. BULL FUCKING SHIT! Whatever mistakes Minaya has made as GM, he was reportedly Willie's last remaining supporter within the organization. So you're telling me that the one guy who supposedly DIDN'T want to fire Willie Randolph pulled this shit??????? Fuck it, my question mark key just broke! I tell you right now, it's embarrassing being a Mets fan.
