By Matthew Cerrone - Dec 3, 2007 8:49 pm

…our friend, Joel Lipsky, was able to do a walk-and-chat with Willie Randolph a few moments ago, while on route to dinner…

…first off, joel says he seems a big, big difference between post-game willie, and this version of willie, being relaxed and casual…

…willie said he has talked to a lot of his players during the off-season, making personal phone calls to discuss the end of last season…additionally, keeps in touch with Jose Reyes, who intends to call in the next day or so…

…lastly, joel says that willie appears to be very up-beat and positive about next season, mentioning how he cannot wait for next season to begin

willie then sat down to have dinner with Rick Peterson

…i didn’t ask, but i wonder if rick is wearing a jacket

      The Jacket had better have a jersey on underneath! Fresh from the winter meetings according to Bob Watson, VP of Rules and On-Field Operations:

      “There’s going to be, for lack of a better term, a ‘Francona Rule. “You can only wear your uniform top or jacket. You can’t wear your night-shirt, or whatever it is. You can wear it before games, or after games, but not during games. You have to have your uniform top at all times.”

    Matt, I think you really got everyone worked up.

    I think every post from now one must have the names Bedard or Haren in them.

    “Damn Rick ,
    I think you got your jacket sleve in your soup”!

    They should have ordered Dominos, because they’ll fix a pizza faster than Rick does Zambrano.

    Willie: Is it hot in here?
    Rick: Actually, I’m a bit chilly.
    Willie: Why do you roll up your pitching notes during a game anyway?
    Rick: I blow warm air through them to warm up my hands. I need a pair of gloves.
