Prior to tonight’s game, Willie Randolph told reporters that Carlos Delgado will be out of tonight’s lineup so he can “clear his head.”
…in other words, sit over there young man, and think about what you’ve done…or, have not done…
According to Randolph, Delgado may get tomorrow night off as well.
wow..
this is actually a shocker
It is a shocker. First, that Randolph is sitting him. Second, that he is not covering for him and saying he was getting his “scheduled day off”.
Maybe he heard his post game comments?
That’s the first thing that came to mind when I heard the lineups for tonight’s game.
Michael Kay said the same thing on his show, “If both Delgado and Beltran refuse to stand up for you, Willie, like you have done countless times for them, then quit protecting them. Throw them under the bus and let them take the heat. After all, they’re two of the biggest reasons why you’ve come under fire….”
I wholeheartedly agree.
WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Is it just me, or is Michael Kay just slightly more tolerable this year?
Good for him for getting that point across.
And good for WIllie.
I almost never agree with anything MK has to say but this one time he is 100% on the money.
Willie is loyal almost to a fault. He protects Delgado especially and Delgado won’t even come right out and defend his manager. The only reason he’s still starting is because of Willie Loyalty to his veterans.
Things will work themselves out eventually though. No matter how much Delgado is making this year and no matter how much Willie sticks up for him, if he keeps hitting around .200 he will be relegated to ride the bench, baseball’s a cruel game, especially in NYC.
Reyes should be taking a breather too.
Unacceptable defensive and on-base lapses. Screw the home runs.
You see what happens when you Mouth off to John Heyman
excellent
Stop the presses!!!
Willie is acually going to bench someone? A guy who could not hit in a key spot to save his life? A guy who acually can not field or run? Who strikes out more than puts balls into play!
Where was this yesterday?
Thank you Willie for doing your job, even if it’s a little too late, please keep him on the bench.
According to Lennon,
Willie is think about sitting Carlos tomorrow too. How about everyday Willie!
Willie is trying the Costanza strategy — the opposite of everything he’d normally do!
haha, great comment.
Now fix the lineup.
So who is playing first for him? Marlon?
Evans?
easley is playing first tonight
Lineup is posted?
Just saw that. What a weak lineup! Sounds like the game won’t be played anyways. Sat him on a day the game won’t even be played.
It’s amazing some of the comments on here. First, people moan and groan about Delgado being in the lineup and now that he is on the bench, it’s still a weak lineup. What else do you expect? Church is still out with a concussion. Randolph has to work with what he has.
Easley
I think this will go a long way to clearing my head.
maybe willie was listening to the Fan this morning. They were callig for Delgado’s head.
Wow, it’s pitch-black outside @ 5:55. I’m praying for rain!
I know. I have the Corp seats but don’t want to leave my apt..
Anyone think it will pour and the game will be delayed? cancelled?
I could live with that as long as i don’t take the long trip on the 7 Train!
Are the clouds real or metaphorical?
Plus he’s benching a veteran.
perhaps the world’s first productive meeting?
hard throwing lefty + Johan needs Defense = Delgado late off the bench
I like that formula.
Who’s in his place? Evans? He scares me out there in left. With Johan pitching, I’d rather see better D.
I agree, Johan is a fly ball pitcher, Endy should be playing somewhere, thats a rough outfield, see maybe Easley should be playing the Outfield, and Tatis at first
That’s a rough outfield, maybe Easley should be playing OF. Are you sure about the point you are making?
it’s gonna rain?
getting delgado out of the line up is nice; tatis at first i assume?
Can you sit an entire roster so they can clear heir heads?
That’s “their”
