A day that has long been coming, is finally upon us. Willie Randolph has been fired as the head coach of the New York Mets.Among the other firings, Rick Peterson and Tom Nieto were also fired.
Jerry Manuel has been named the interim head coach. Also, Ken Oberkfell, Luis Aguayo and Dan Warthen have been added to the coaching staff.
Obkerfell was the New Orleans manager, Aguayo was the Mets field coordinator, and Warthen was the AAA pitching coach.
I'm half-relieved the tip-toeing and dance is over. The rest of me is now worried for the future and uncertainty that lies ahead.
