In what many baseball insiders are calling a “gutless” firing by the Mets, coach Willie Randolph, along with pitching coach Rick Peterson and firstbase coach Tom Nieto were axed off early Tuesday morning. The sideshow that is the Mets organization headed by GM Omar Minaya kept true to form with this 3am firing. The Mets had more than an ample amount of opportunities to pull the plug on Willie, but the timing and the fashion that it was done in is nothing short of comical. Mets, todays big loser.
