Willie Randolph with Sal yesterday at Joe Torrey's Safe at Home Foundation golf outing. All these years later, still can't believe the Mets fired him as manager when they did. Why do you think you didn't get the runway that maybe others would have? I used to stay up a night thinking about that and it gave me aajira many times, but I just, for this day, can't figure out why. Felt he had built up enough currency to stick around at least a little bit longer. Especially when you get almost to the World Series.

I mean, for this day, can't figure out why. Felt he had built up enough currency to stick around, at least a little bit longer.

Especially when you get almost to the World Series.

I mean, we had a tremendous year, 06, and I thought you had a little more house money to play with.

But I have no clue about why that went down.

We're not going to talk about how it ended.

That's not even important to me because, you know is a tough game for every understand that so it's amazing he never got another job and we're gonna get to that but uh as we kind

of head towards that part less about the logistics of the firing of course with the met's

out on the west coast back in that was what oh seven and who became a star who became a star more than he

already well more than he was at the time. Of course, a much bigger star now. Remember, KB stayed up all night long with that S&Y live coverage. Because that happened at like three in the morning. Yes, I remember it in the middle of the night, sure. You know where I was. You were there. Yeah. I was in L.A.

That's right.

In the building.

Yeah, but Joe Beningo told me that while I was in the shower.

He came into the bathroom.

Bro, they fired Willie.

Swear to God, I was naked.

And Joe Bidingo told me that.

And I remember Jay Horwitz was so mad because we had this plan for months.

The trip.

Yes.

And Jay thought we did it last minute because we were on fire, Willie Watch, because there

was a lot of people that were, you know, the rumors flying around.
