The Ken Oberkfell (or anyone else for that matter) For Manager Movement
"No one really gave me credit for doing what I did. They just criticized me," "The manager countered that Wright might not have had as good a year had the manager not protected the youngster by placing him down in the order early in the season."
Riiiiiiiiight. That does not even deserve a response.
"I guess I'm a show-me guy, I want to see that David can keep making the adjustments," Randolph said.
I'm a show me guy too. Show me why you should still employed. Hint #1, treat your best hitter like your best hitter. Don't punish someone for being young.
"I let them play," Randolph said. "It's not always going to come down to average and statistics. It's just how you play the game. Managers look at players and it's what they see."
Your gut decisions have worked out oh so well so far, so why change?
"He was just one of the guys we had," Randolph said. "Who knows? We may even pick someone up. The competition just started. It doesn't change the whole picture at second base for me at all. The fact that he's not here, we have to just move on."
That was when Brett Boone retired and that was followed up by...
"Keppinger really wasn't in the mix. Keppinger was kind of a long shot, and he's still kind of a long shot, but he's there."
Willie, wait. I thought you just said the competition just started? Now Keppinger had no shot and since A Hern has been playing short (a very foreign position from second) he is out too?
"I'm not concerned at all"
That was Willie commenting on Victor Zambrano's inability to actually resemble a good pitcher. I know Willie is not going to throw his guy under the bus, so I give him a free pass, but I wouldn't mind a comment about him needing to step up and perform in the next week or so.
"He's still a nice player, but let's not get crazy," Randolph said. ~ 4/15/08
Willie telling Angel Pagan to not get too excited because chances are, he really is not good.
"He's not going to be in that tree all year," Randolph said of Pagan, who is also tied with David Wright for the team lead with 10 RBIs. "We've seen a lot of players come through the pike and do what Pagan's doing, so let's keep this in perspective." ~ 4/15/08
Willie 'motivating' his team in their time of need.
"I like Luis in the No. 2 spot," Randolph said. "He's still one of the better No. 2 hitters in the game." ~ 4/15/08
I rest my case.

I had to write that 37 character long address of yours to visit your blog. You could could have atleast made it your title bigger than that! ;)

No, empyre, because we all feel the same way.

Perdue?

My guess is that Mr. Met went to Peru and this is his way of saying goodbye.
3:05 PM
see ya Mike. Have a great time and let us know what the best burger joint is down there.
Traxx should make tracks. Terrible outing. Looks like Maine has a shot along with Williams at the last rotation spot.
Let Glavine go and put his bucks into Zitoman.

Figured he went South, the veritable bird. Well, write to us when you get back, dude!
5:50 PM
will u be back when the manager decides to name his rotation/roster for the postseason or when the magic # is 0.
it was nice waking up to espn this morning and hearing how the braves are mathematically eliminated from the division lead. sweet

Was anyone else as offended as I when Willie put in Ricky Ledee over Endy and Shawn Green? That's just uncalled for and insulting. Not only to the aforementioned outfielders, but to all of our intellects. Like we would just casually sit back and accept such a ridiculously bad call. If he pulls this type of shit during the post season I will be none too pleased.
Oh, and did anyone listen to WFAN after the game? They interviewed Paulie and much to my, and the announcers' surprise, he brought up Xnady. I thought it was a pretty classy move on LoDuca's part, said he missed him, wished he was still there, and even attributed a lot of their early season success to him.

Cool thing is there is a $20 charge for those who mention "Metsblog" at the door, unlimited (!!!) domestic drafts all night. Who's coming wit' me!? LOL
