The Willie Watch Continues

The Willie Randolph firing squad is lurking behind every corner. The question is whether they will end up just going away or call him into the street one night and fire away! It's hard to blame Willie for what happened in San Diego -four game sweep by the Padres that included three games by the score of 2-1. It's hard to blame Willie for what Billy Wagner has recently done - 3 blown saves in a row. If Wagner had blown just 2 of those games and the Mets had split in San Diego, when they actually should have at least won 3, The Mets would be over .500 and only 4 games out of first and we wouldn't be having this conversation. But the point is they did lose those games and it does appear to me that something needs to happen. And soon. I like Willie, but you can't fire the team and you can't trade Reyes, his contract is too team friendly as a like to call it. I wouldn't push the button yet, but if we get to the end of the month and the Mets are still in the same position, get your guns out Omar! But watch out - you may be next!
