I almost added this to the end of the "Happy?" post, but thought it warranted it's own title.
So the Mets have a new manager, one who has been with the team since 2005. Do you really think it will truly help the team?
The aura surrounding Willie Randolph in his (many) final days must have been tough on the team. Answering the same question and not really knowing the future of their skipper can't be helpful for a team.
It still falls on the players to preform. They must do their job to play fundamental baseball and win games.
The team is not out of it, but if they lose now, they at least have a poor excuse to blame it on.
