It’s only March 14^th and my patients with Willie Randolph is being tested. The first story I read this morning thanks to the links from Mets Geek was Steve Popper’ story on a struggling Carlos Delgado. This quote from Randolph has by BVD’s in a bunch:

 “But the bottom line is that Carlos is going to have a big year and I’m not concerned about spring training one bit. When the bell rings is when we have to really evaluate most of the guys.”

 This the most idiotic statement made by a Mets manager since the Late Art Howe died in office. Delgado a big year? Based on what Willie? In the limited at bats he’s had so far he might want batting tips from Billy Crystal. “When the bell rings” is when Randolph will evaluate the talent? How stupid is that remark? I’m hoping this is just Willie blowing smoke up the media’s ass but from what we saw down the stretch last season I’m not so sure.

If Randolph is not concerned that his first base looks like toast, his second baseman hasn’t done anything but be humiliated in the dugout, that the next time his elderly LF’er plays in a game, children will be frocking under fire hydrants in the city, his CF’er  is so worried about injuries that he may need to lay down on  shrink’  couch instead of an applying an Ace bandage to his boo-boo, his #2 starter and # 5 starter  say that they are ready for season to start but have yet to throw a pitch to a enemy batter, his top set  up man in the bullpen can not pitch more than once a week and his starting catcher has sore hammy’s , but hey who am I to panic.

 The only reason I see Willie acting like he has no worries is maybe in his mind he feels that the string of injuries make him safe from termination. I hope that’s not the case as if it is he’s making a huge blunder. If this team does not get out the gate like Secretariat at the Belmont Stakes there will be an uprising by the Flushing Faithful that will force the hands of the Skill Sets. Please Willie wake up and smell the Ben-Gay.

Hey Elliot Spitzer’ trollop is very cute but I don’t think she is worth $4,500, losing the Governorship of New York and humiliating your wife and three daughters.  By the way, I’m sure with the Post putting Miss Dupre’ topless pic on the front page, they will break a circulation record  today. If I ever put this blog in print, you know I will put a topless 22 year old girl on the cover. It’s good bussiness. Hey Billy Crystal dream was to play for the Highlanders mine is for Hugh Hefner to leave me the Playboy Mansion when he kicks the bucket.   

$iti Field will be environmentally friendly with options like water less urinals which are now used at Shea Stadium but a Shea they call it the Mens Room floor.

It looks like the Mets will be the host of the 2013 All-Star Game at $iti Field. So that gives you 5 years to work a second job to but a ticket for the game.

 If Mike Pelfrey doesn’t learn how to get ahead of batters he will never make it in the big leagues. The guy constantly falls behind in counts and then has to come with a fastball that is very hittable which lead to big innings and losses. I want to be patient with Pelfrey but the thought comes to my head that he may need a change of scenery to blossom as a Major League pitcher. Something here is just not clicking with this kid. I don’t know if it’s him or Professor Rick but something is just not right as Pelfrey still makes the same mistakes start after start. Maybe he needs a new voice to help straighten him out.
