		I think Willie is a good players manager, but to Phil's point, I still think he can improve the "in-game strategy" portion of his job.
		Willie has been bailed out a bunch of times by the players for his "odd" decision making.
		I got the sense that Randolph saw we were losing the Red Sox and Yankees series, and instead of embracing the seriousness of the series' and never backing down and do what it takes to take just one game from them; that it was more like, well it doesn't matter anyway.

		I’ve been one of Willie’s harshest critics all year, not a game goes by without him doing something that makes me yell at the TV…and as bad as Art Howe was for the team, he never did ANYTHING even remotely as stupid as what Willie does ever day.
		Randolph has played the game at it’s highest level..trust that the Mets are a work in progress and better times are in the offing.
		Willie was tempting fate — or perhaps setting up Trachsel so that he could turn around and take him out of the rotation now.

		Randolph has looked like exactly what he is, a manager learning on the job.
		While Willie is certainly not the perfect manager, I don't know anyone else who would be doing a better job at this point with this team and this level of talent.
		I also was not a big fan of Randolph as being announced as the new Met skipper, but in the spirit of having an old ex Yankee product lead us which can be traced to the days of Casey Stengel, I am supporting him all the way.

	Willie keeps it in perspective
		Better than almost anybody, Willie Randolph can screen out the white-noise blather surrounding professional sports in New York, as he did for 13 seasons playing — surviving — in the Bronx Zoo, amid all the lunacy of The George, Billy and Reggie Show.
		Randolph will handle the pressure of the job as gracefully, as in control, as straight ahead, as he did yesterday, before the home opener at Shea, standing with a beaming smile and with that ever-present confident ease amid a huge cluster of reporters by the batting cage during BP.
		And just like that, Randolph has gone from a dope to a genius in a matter of days.
