Mets Fire Manager Willie Randolph

[TheNewMetFan]

Omar left this team in the dump, you kick him after 1 choke? wow, that was not smart by this idiot. Who knows, we probably could've won the WS in '08, instead of the phillies

[doggieman1961]

they should be playing the dumb music behind this moron

[chrissnyy]

the reason why they fired Randolph becase players were mad at him and perposly played bad

[truenymetsfan9641]

the mets are a talented team but it sucks that all dat talent is never used cause of shitty management. for example y didnt minaya go after clff lee instead its a miss oppertunity. thumbs up if u think minaya and manuel r a piece of shit

[TheStormchaser1]

Omar your English sucks. Can you even speak English?? Your English is worse than Bush Jr.

[roops22]

omar you suck, wilpons better fire you

[nycblaze]

Adam Rubin told Willie b4 u did Omar...

[speltbackwards321]

Fuck you omar minaya!!!! Bring back willie atleast willie got us to the playoffs.

[nymetsfan9121]

hey anyone who ever went to shea stadium after this didnt it feel weird when they would announce the starting linup they would say the starting linup for jerry manuels new york mets that felt really wierd

[Signal337]

The Mets didn't have much of a chance to win "the 2007 & 2008 National League East" as John McCain & Sarah Palin didn't win the 2008 U.S. Presidency. The "Phillies" continue to show mockery over the "New York Mets"

[NyMetPimp11]

ALL i know is that jerry is doing a grat job.. 3 game lead 83 wins... hes doing great. phillies suck

[youngt86]

ok all u assholes that say it was willie and that the players stopped playin for him who fault is it now? thats why as a mets fan im kind of ok wit them losing because now we all know that it wasnt him but it was the players.

[SportFan192]

Omar Minaya did the right thing it was time for Willie to go he did horrible as manager this year Jerry Manuel is better =)

[vc15rj24]

studpid mets they should not have fire him hes great

[Lattermore]

Great? How can you say he's great? Greatest collapse in MLB history. Do you know what the hell ur talking about? If not, shut the hell up.

[guitarhero918]

you're an ass

[TheAnnoyingFour]

@Lattermore I loved Willie Randolph. It was a terrible day when he was fired. He actually made us contend for the playoffs each year, which we haven't done SINCE Willie Randolph.

[mets1huskers]

it the mets, their so good that one bad half leads to fire

go mets

[nybroncos1994]

Willie randolph did not deserve to be fired. Is it his fault that he has a 42 year old left fielder, no, is it his fault he doesnt have a healthy second baseman, no, and is it his fault that this team was built so badly, no, but the thing is this, he got fired, and omar is a sissy for being afraid and pressured by media. I hope that someday in the future that he becomes the manager of the mets again. Mets against phillies tonight.

[Lattermore]

Funny how things are turning around under a new manager. So it was Randolph. Players stopped playing for him. Can't do much when the team doesn't believe anything that comes out of your mouth. After all, Mets should have won in 2006 and 2007. Both years he failed. Tough luck, but you have to perform to keep your job. No crying in baseball.

[neoda2]

wow miniya that to late to fire him you should done it sooner at ny at home.

[compae31]

fuck you minaya fuck you your the stupidest gm everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrr

[joesakic91]

I get the Rick Peterson firing, but Willie Randolph?!

Omar Minaya built the team, not Willie.

[DaBadGuyy]

This guy is full of it. He made willie fly all the way to california to fire him. He fired him at 3:30 am right after he won a game. He also fired the pitching coach and the first base coach. I am a huge Mets fan and I dont even know who the first base coach is. You mean to tell me that this new manager is going to do a better job....... please.

[FrankBT]

HE FIRED HIM AT 12 AFTER THE GAME STFU

[JetsMets4Life]

I think that it was Omar's call. Omar was the guy who kept Willie here so long. Let's be honest, Jeff and Fred Wilpon wanted Willie out at the end of last season. Omar finally said "enough is enough" and fired Willie. That is my take.

[tableturns77]

who gives a fuck why is this news

[cloonmore]

typical bush league move from a bush league front office.

Go Yanks!

[petershala]

screw u dumbass.....exactly what the Yankees are known for.....YANKEES SUCK ASS....lets go Metsssssssssssssssssss

[gomets83]

bush league front office, and the steinbrenners have run the yankees with such class through out the years...yankee moron

[jica95]

I don't get how you could fire Willie Randolph. Is it his fault that the players don't play well? I mean maybe he didn't motivate them enough but you don't fire someone across the country at midnight (3:00 New York time). The Mets used to be several games under .500 before Willie Randolph came to manage the team. I say that the decision to fire Willie Randolph was wrong!!!!

[chrmoll]

Minaya.....YOU SUCK!!! let's go, Yankees!!!

[dmschwartz]

Firesale. The Mets have to start from scratch with a farm system. I would trade Reyes and Beltran separately for some serious younger ready-to-play talent, like 4-6 position players. Reyes and Beltran do not look like they give a shit if they want to win. I would keep Wright,Santana, Maine, Pelfry and some of the bullpen. Trade Beltran and Reyes to the playoff berth teams who have some good farm and who need some all stars for the WS. Everyone wins in the end.

[rumalo]

BS, RANDOLPH had a lot of overrated players like delgado, alou, reyes, beltran, maine, pelfrey, pedro martinez, oliver perez

who hired this players? minaya, minaya should get fired too

[BlazinRugaji]

Seriously, I'm a Mets fan. I think he should've gave Willie the chance for the whole season. If he performed much better, than he would've kept his job. I have no more words.

[mets1455]

fuck him

[Commuter8]

It was a fucking poor decision hope that mother fucker regrets what he done.

Its his decision to fire him but it wasnt his decision to humiliate him and telling his lies to the media.

My heart felted heavy when i heard this the same day he got fired hes a fucking moron and the team lost cause of him and no doubt they will lose on the rest of the season.

In my opinion its not his fault its the teams fault no matter what willie did the mets team would lose i sure hope he take it well soon.

[Commuter8]

To say the most this guy who fired randolph was a total bitch i am not a mets fan but coming to his hotel and firing him in 3 in the morning? That was a disgrace for sure. I cant imagine how he feels right now and the mets lost the game later that day.

I was so disgusted i felted like i was going to throw up on his side of the bed. The way it was handled was poor and he claimed that hes been thinking this for a long time that was a fucking lie the mets lost last night cause of that.

[stacynewyork]

Willie was replaced by a spic.

[06north]

He doesn't make any sense beyond the fact that Willie Randolph was terminated. Omar Mistayka insists that it was his decision and that was why he told Mr. Randolph personally: yet he was concerned about a "third" source. Presumably these sources would be his bosses so I guess he is saying his bossess aren't able to keep a secret. He is clearly defensive in the video. Why is that? Perhaps because he did not handle this situation well:I think the chickens will come home to roost in due time!

[KirbyPwnz13]

The guy talking is a little bitch!
