News Item: Mets fire manager Willie Randolph, two coaches
This probably had to happen after last year's collapse and this year's awful start, but I always liked Randolph, and I hope he doesn't have to wait as long for his next managerial job as he did for his first one.
Also- how was it that I didn't know until now that Tom Nieto, the backup catcher for the '87 Twins, was the Mets' first-base coach? Much like how it took until the middle of the 2005 World Series before I knew that Gary Gaetti was Houston's hitting coach.
