METS ownership, Fred and Jeff Wilpon, completed the impossible.
They have made Hank Steinbrenner appear the level-headed baseball owner
in town.
They oversee an organization that fired a manager and shot itself.
Short of squirting seltzer down their own pants in public, the Mets
could not have handled the dismissal of Willie Randolph worse than they
did. That sound the Mets are hearing is the rest of baseball laughing
at them.
It would have been impossible to believe the Mets would approve a dumber cross-country flight than the two they allowed Ryan Church
to take with the lingering effects of a concussion. But move over into
coach, Ryan, here is Randolph flying 3,000 miles to manage a game
before being fired. That dismissal was made official at 3:14 a.m.
Tuesday with a fax statement. And here we were thinking the dumbest
stuff we would ever see involving a manager at that time already had
occurred with Randolph's former skipper Billy Martin.
