Say what you will about The Mets, the greatest disappointment for New York in the last couple of years. They have been on the outs since early on this season which writers/fans/assholes (like me!) speculated would lead to the end of Willie Randolph's Managerial career with the Metropolitans.
Well, it has. Willie Randolph has gotten the proverbial axe, he has bit the bullet and swallowed. Jerry Manuel steps in to take his place (temporarily).
I have something to say about this, because I am not as much of an asshole as you think I am. I never said that Willie Randolp should get fired. I said that he will get fired, because the Metropolitans needed to do something Omar Minaya went out and got permission from the Owners to fire his Skipper, and he did just that. Willie Randolph isn't at fault her, other that opening his mouth so shit can fall out onto the ground, he's done nothing wrong. His team stinks. They're playing like a big band of misfits. Wagner blowing saves? WAGNER BLOWING SAVES?! Carlos Delgado hitting .200? Beltran hitting somewhere like .230? I mean, you can't have your fucking ALL-STARS hitting those numbers and not do anything about it.

Report: Andruw Jones out of Atlanta.
ESPN is reporting that John Schuerholz has told Andruw Jones and his Super-Agent Scott Boras that The Braves have no interest in resigning the Gold Glove Center Fielder.
Jones hit an abysmal .222 this season with 26 HRs and 94 rbis, his worst numbers in a very long time. In his first 86 games batting cleanup for the Bravos, Jones collected a low 64 rbis batting in the spot.
Therefore the Braves went and traded for Texas Ranger First Baseman Mark Teixeira, who came in on August 1st, and in his 54 games with ATL he had 56 rbis batting in the cleanup spot.
The Braves are at no loss for talent, however, they're probably looking for a one year replacement.
Also, The Mets have decided to stick with Willie Randolph despite the collapse of the team at the end of the season. No duh. Was there any doubt really. The guy is still a good manager, although at the end of the season he looked worse than Jose Reyes September Batting Average.
