Well, Willie (as in Randolph) has it for now. For how long is the question.
Willie is NY Baseball royalty. Bigtimer with the Yankees - and now the Mets Manager. Unfortunately he may have a team of under-achievers and guys who do not care too much about how they play. So maybe those guys should go. But you can't fire 25 ballplayers, so if changes have to be made, Willie is the guy who walks the plank. Too bad at that point the water level on the ship may be too high to bail out.
He's got until the All-Star break by my guess. That's in the Bronx this year. Fitting.
As we blog, the Mets are up 3-1 in the 3rd against the surprising Florida Marlins. A win would be nice, since they haven't gotten too many lately.
Other BB tidbits - kudos to Jon Lester on the no-no last week. The Red Sox pitching staff is. how would you say, stacked! and the kids like Ellsbury and Pedroia are gonna be big.
D-Backs are hanging tough in the NL West, with only Joe Torre's Dodgers within 10 games. That's a big lead for May 27, and the Rockies are a big disappointment.
Larry Jones (aka Chipper) is hitting the southern snot out of the ball, hovering at about a .416 average. Most Mets fans dislike Larry, but I don't. But as Mike Piazza once said, I'm not calling a grown man 'Chipper'.
Vote for your All-Star choice now!
