Willie Randolph just got his walking papers from the under-achieving Mets...
I'm embarrassed to be a Mets fan right now. It's not the fact that Randolph was fired but the way he was fired. In fact it's not just embarrassing for the Mets but for all of baseball. To fly Randolph, Peterson, and Nieto 3000 miles from home only to fire them after two wins and to do the firing over email at 3:12 am is simply disgraceful. I hope Omar Minaya gets fired eventually, he's the person who put the damn team together. Now that the Mets are looking for a new manager (assuming that Jerry Manuel is only an interim manager) I nominate Bobby Valentine or go see if Keith Hernandez is interested.
very interesting, thanks for the post.

Wow, firing somebody by e-mail is pretty sad.
yes they won with the help of branyan and cameron sending out some bombs. i'm a padres fan and i totally disagree with them releasing these guys. they are pretty damn good.Did I read the scores right this morning? The Brewers won yesterday?

They announced the firing to the media via e-mail. Willie was fired face to face.
