Read: The Fire Willie Movement
Yesterday, the Brooklyn Met Fan 
officially announced, “The time is upon us, Willie’s gotta go.”
Today, in the New York Sun, Tim Marchman jumps on board and writes, “It’s time to fire Willie Randolph,” adding, “Randolph has failed in concrete ways, and shows no prospect of or capacity for improvement.”
…i think more or less every ounce of criticism leveled at willie is fair, but it is just too early and border-line unfair to fire him on May 1…again, all the criticism and fear is warranted, but, like it or not, and whether you think it will continue, fact is that he’s above .500, in first place and has won far more games than he has lost during his time at the helm…until that narrative changes, i just don’t see this club cutting bait…
In BMF’s opinion, the Mets should hire Wally Backman.
…i have no idea if backman would work or not…i know nothing about him as a manager…i only know him as a player…and i do not know that one has much to do with the other…
…what i do know is that, in a game and society that has no problem forgiving people if it will make money, backman is managing an Independent League team and not one of the hundreds of professional organizations, from single-a to the majors…and i suspect that is not a coincidence…this is not to say he should be ignored, because i’d like to think his fiery personality could help a team, especially in New York, it’s just, it is a sizeable red flag he is carrying around and that should be properly vetted…
