 About three months ago, I questioned the New York Mets' motivation,
handling and explanation of the firing of former skipper Willie
Randolph (keft, photo by B. Menzel). Despite the team's recent success, I still do.
The classless and sloppy way he was let go -- even despite his team's slow start to the season -- was deserving of the criticism it received. Randolph, despite his faults, should have the support of the franchise that he helped turn around.
Some would say that given where the Mets are now -- first place -- that this column might be ill-timed, or even off-base. Well, blame the shameless and self-congratulatory commentary coming from certain places.

 When I am in a situation where human beings are present, I immediately categorize each into one of three categories:
1. People who want to be near me because of who I am
.
2. People who try desperately to appear normal and treat me normally
.
3. People who feel the need to one-up me or prove they're better than me.

 Have the Mets done all they could do to get to the postseason this year?
An article by Newsday's David Lennon, as well as a radio interview of Omar Minaya by WFAN's Mike
Francesa, - make one wonder how badly the Mets want to get to
the playoffs. Not the players (though that's been debated at times over the past two years), but the front office. |

It’s always hard to say goodbye. Some of us are traded. Others are
waived. Some are demoted while others outright released. The
newspaper calls these moves “Transactions.” I call them possibly the
worst time in a person’s life. In the real world, there are layoffs. Restructuring. Baseball teams
never downsize, at least not on the field. Look at a 25-man roster on
opening day. Then look at it at the All-Star break. On October 1,
glance one last time. The one consistency?

After hearing that John Maine’s shoulder issues are compounded by a bone spur — and that his season may be in doubt — I thought it made sense to check with an expert on the subject. Ironically, former Mets trainer Bob Sikes had already posted an enlightening article titled “The Bad Signs Regarding John Maine’s Shoulder” on his own blog Getting Paid to Watch.

I don't know if I have the power anymore, but I want my next contract
to not allow me to be put on waivers. I don't like it when a team that
I wanted to play for and, in turn, wanted me to play for them, decides
to relinquish their rights to me. This blows monkeychunks for a couple
of reasons:
1. If a player is put on waivers, the player has no idea, officially,
if he was put on waivers. A team doesn't have to tell a player or his
agent, or the press, so we find out through backrooms in bathrooms from
people who overheard something that may or may not be true.
