The New York Mets don’t deserve Willie Randolph. He’s far too decent for the clowns that run this franchise.
He’s plenty competent, too. Is he the reason for Billy Wagner’s blown saves? Is he the reason Pedro Martinez and Ryan Church got hurt? Is he the reason Carlos Delgado isn’t hitting or that David Wright can’t get a clutch hit?
At some point, the manager always takes the fall for whatever goes wrong. That’s life.
Maybe the next guy will get Jose Reyes more interested. Maybe he’ll make sure Pedro stays healthy.
Randolph understands how it works and probably has learned a few things in his first stint as a manager. Only a dramatic winning streak could save him now, and the Mets aren’t capable of that.
Perhaps the only redeeming thing for Randolph is that once he goes, GM Omar Minaya will become the next guy to blame. Lost in the frenzy to fire Randolph is the fact Minaya is the guy who put this club together.
If Randolph goes, Minaya should certainly go with him. He eventually will, too, because the people above him have no idea what they’re doing.
