Willie, Willie, Where Art Thou, Willie?

I'm saddened by the news that Willie Randolph, the beloved Brooklyn native and graduate of Samuel J. Tilden High School, was fired as manager of the New York Mets late last night. I liked Willie and I still do. I believe that he was the main reason that The Mets came as far as they did within the last 3 seasons. Now, I will admit that for some reason, The Amazins haven't been able to get over the hump, but I don't think that was all Willie's fault. He can't make hitters hit and pitchers pitch. Lord knows, they get paid more than enough to do their jobs, but unfortunately after the team's late-season collapse last year, Willie's job was definitely hanging in the balance this year. And as predicted, he was let go last night. I, for one, will miss you Willie. I appreciate what you did for us the short time you were here. You have taken this in stride. YOU ARE A CLASS ACT!!
