dude--Davey is the coach for Team USA for the Olympics. Heard an interview with him. Good to see him in baseball again after suffering through some family tragedy.
What is tragic is that the Yanks vs. Mets weekend feels like it's extended spring training for both clubs. It's not about winning; it's about saving jobs. It should have had a playoff atmosphere with the load of talent on each team. But the only thing that those squads are playing off is who is the worst team in NY. My guess is the Yankees. |

| David, since you asked, two weeks ago I was walking up 79th street from the Boat Basin towards Broadway. In front of me was a senior citizen with a cane. As I got within five or six feet, this gentleman let loose a rather sad-sounding fart. I quickly moved into the passing lane and as I walked by I noticed that it was none other than Abe Vigoda, sporting a rather hangdog look. So, to answer your question: Abe Vigoda is alive and farting. |

Yesterday, I spent time writing the Phlyers obituary. That will have to wait because as John Stevens wrote on the blackboard in the locker room before the game last night, "We're Not Dead Yet." Of course, YET is the key word and when it happens the City of Brotherly Love will officially celebrate their 100th consecutive major sports season without a championship. My crack research staff is hard at work trying to find a city which matches that futility. The only city that can come close to matching is the NEW New York teams (Mets, Jets, Nets, and Islanders). Since the Mets World Series win 22 seasons ago, the New-New Yorkers have gone 88 seasons without a title. No wonder you're all so bitter and mean spirited. All that money and no titles. At least in Phillies case, we have cheap and incompetent management as an excuse. You just have incompetent management.
And as I said last week, no team with Billy Wagner can win a championship. Last night’s explosion caught on tape was one that would make Judas proud. In case you missed it, he stood in front of his locker and asked reporters: “What the blank are you interviewing the closer for when he didn’t even pitch.” Then he took two steps out, looked around the locker room and said, “Oh, now I know, nobody else is here.” Jesus, along with Carlos, Pedro, Johan, Luis and Jose all slipped out thinking Billy had their back. Instead, he denied their very existence and friendship. Billy is great for quotes and honesty, but he’s not someone you would invite to your Vegas bachelor party?
Incidentally, I say Cashman because he’s in the last year of his contract and Hank probably doesn’t want him back since he was the one who held up trading the currently overmatched Hughes and Kennedy for Santana. So, when the Yankees are 10 out in late July after no major July 31 deals, Hank says, “What do we need a GM for, he doesn’t make any trades, I can do that. In fact, I am the new GM.”

| Even a fool is considered wise until he opens his mouth...a memo Hankenstein never got. Until he actually DOES anything, there's no reason to think of him as something other than an impotent bafoon figurehead. |

I have no problem with what Wagner said. Those players who ducked out have been playing like crud lately, especially the two Chucks. Wagner shouldn't have their backs anymore. They don't contribute, and then they answer to nobody. Meanwhile, the same guys are talking to the media every night. Where's Willie in all of this. Probably somewhere being Stoic.
It's time for Willie to go. I had been a staunch Randolph defender for all throughout last season. My argument was that our bullpen sucked and Willie had nobody to go to late in the game. A failing I attributed to Minaya. This offseason has seen two moves that worked out well for the Mets. One of which many thought would be a disaster. The acquisitions of Santana, Church and Schneider have all worked out great. As far as I'm concerned Omar is off the hook for the time being.
Willie "Aaron's my guy" Randolph, on the other hand, has been on the outs with me since Duaner came back. At this point anyone in that Bullpen is better than Heilman. Yet, who does Willie go to in the close games? The same guy that gives the games away almost every time. Heilman has inherited the Bullpen dunce cap once proudly worn by the likes of Guillermo Mota, Armando Benitez, and late in his career John Franco. Willie is the only one who doesn't see this.
And what the bleep was with not going out to fight the ump when Alou was tossed? And then resting Alou?! For what? Alou needs to be in the game, come hell or high water. If he had been available for just 10 more games last season I guarantee the Mets would've still made the playoffs, meltdown and all.
I've tried my best not to say this, but fire Willie. He's a nice guy and I like him, but he's not the guy that this team needs. The Mets need someone to light a fire under their asses and Willie doesn't do it.
