As if Willie Randolph didn’t have enough problems, he now has a former Met openly campaigning for his job. Gary Carter shared his thoughts on the Mets’ situation in a radio interview Friday. Carter told the hosts of "The Mike and Murray Show":

“When I saw that on ESPN today ... I got on the phone and I called (Mets VP of media relations Jay Horowitz and I asked Jay, 'Should I try to call Mr. Wilpon?' If there is this going on I just want them to know of my availability. I'm only a phone call away, because my contract allows me to leave the ballclub. I could be in New York tomorrow, if necessary, because if there's anything at the major league level I can leave this job."

But he wasn’t done sticking a knife in Willie’s back adding, "The comments that David Wright made saying that, you know, there's no spark, there's no fire - if anything I would love to bring that to the table because you know me, guys, I love the game, have a great passion for it and you know my enthusiasm."
