Mets Fire Willie Randolph

Mets let Randolph twist far too long - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Well after closing time in New York, hours after the Mets won for the third time in four games, just as he was beginning to believe-hope-pray his club was finally starting to get it right late Monday night, Willie Randolph was told to pack his bags and go.

Presumably, the Mets allowed Randolph to stay one more night in the customary manager’s suite at the team hotel in Costa Mesa. Presumably.

And that’s how it ends for Randolph.

With three wins in four games, and an empty clubhouse, while his hometown slept. In New York, he’ll always be a terrific Yankee. In New York, he’ll always be a game from the 2006 World Series, a win or two from the 2007 playoffs, a local guy who very, very nearly made good twice.

What I don't get is that they fire the guy at 3am after they travelled to California and won a game. I think the organization showed a lack of class on this one.
