Stewart on Randolph

Hey, say what you will about whatever company you work for. But it's probably been awhile since they last fired someone in the middle of the night.

So we hear they didn't fire him on Sunday because it was Father's Day, and they did it late at night so that all of the columnists and beat writers would miss their deadlines. Yet somehow, it ended up being a bigger PR nightmare than either of those would have been. This is why the Mets (like other New York teams, especially the Knicks and Rangers) never win. They make way too many decisions in order to "make a splash," to get on the back pages, etc., as opposed to just doing what the best thing is for the team. Hey, the Phillies don't give a rat's ass what the fans or media think about anything- and look who's in first place.

This time last year, a lot of people in Philly thought Charlie Manuel was the worst manager ever in baseball. Now, he's not even the worst manager in his own division whose last name is "Manuel."

Strangely, both Manuels were managing in the AL Central back around the turn of the century, too...

Ok, so the Phillies are a better organization because they apparently "don't care about the media" (guffaw). And the last time they won a championship was...?
