I could sit here and talk about all of the wrong that supposedly is Willie Randolph's fault but I won't. Instead i'll talk about a nice guy who got fired in a cowardly disgusting manner. Even if people want to blame him for one of the biggest collapses in baseball history last season in how the New York Mets who were leading their division went on a disastrous losing streak lost their lead and shut out of the playoffs among other problems. If that was a key factor why not have let Willie go at the end of the 2007 season and start over? Willie as a player was very good and sometimes underrated, as a manger he started off slowly and went on to have a very good team in 2006. People got upset when he mentioned race may have factor into his problems but that's the reality that people want to ignore but remains a constant problem. With Willie fired, the only black manager left is Dusty Baker. I hope another team gives Willie another chance he deserves it and being a manager in New York no doubt added undue pressure.
