Do I have to read Fred Wilpon issue a press release an hour ago and cite Omar's full autonomy, insist the firing was Omar's decision? "Omar is in charge. It was his decision."
Freddie boy, wake up! You should be embarrassed the way your team (and it's my team in a way, too, I'm a diehard fan and have been for 20 years) is viewed by the United States of America today. Because I am more embarrassed today as a Mets fan than I was after the NLCS loss or the September swoon of 2007. There are radio stations in southern California micking us and laughing at us this morning. And we all know it was your kid who never got along with Willie and has tried push him out the door for three years. And you are the PRINCIPAL OWNER! You make the final call! I don't want to hear about Minaya's full autonomy. You're his boss! The way you, your punk kid, and the assistant GM/Latin clubhouse lawyer handled this situation over the last week has turned a guy almost everyone in New York wanted fired on Friday, into a martyr this morning. What talent that takes!
In closing, I quote Mike Vacarro, who wrote an amazing article this morning that sums up what the Mets are now.
What we know now is that Randolph was so much better than the men he worked
for, it's as if they were playing a different game in a different league.
What a fiasco. What a joke. Less than two years after Game 7, less than
nine months from opening their signature ballpark, the Mets reveal themselves,
again, for what they've been for too long.
A cheap, unfunny joke. Run by a miserable cast of miscreants.
Good for Randolph, Peterson and Nieto. They may not know this, but their
lot in life just got a bit brighter, getting away from this batch of bums.
