Can we move on already? He was canned for cause-he didn't produce. He was a shitty manager. Good riddance. There is an opening in Seattle. If Randolph is such a fucking commodity he will be the next skipper of the Mariners. Better managers have been fired for far less. Hey Met haters, Joe Torre was shit canned last year too. He won 4 World Series and had that team in the playoffs every year. He managed some great players and produced. Still he was fired... Baseball is a tough business.

the media is pissed cause none of them were able to get the scoop since the firing took place while they were sleeping and past deadlines. thats the ONLY reason the media has had such vitriol to the mets. why do they care so much of how willie was fired when the week before ALL of ny media was calling for randolph's head. its not the mets that are absurd, its the sports journalists and bloggers who all of a sudden do not abide by factual storytelling, but are too busy opining and listening to themselves speak/write.

The media is annoyed because it's their job to be annoyed about everything. Mets fans are over the manner of the firing already because when it comes down to it, we wanted Willie fired months ago and we're glad to see the back of him.

It's a bit of overkill now. There's no GOOD way to fire anyone... www.forgotten-ny.com
