I've thought about this greatly, and I've come to the realization taht I must apologize to Willie Randolph. I've looked at this all wrong. Since 2003, the Mets have suffered a malaise that I call the Late Season Meltdown. It's something that's as guaranteed as death and taxes. It's happened with Bobby Valentine, it's happened with Art Howe, and now it's happening with Willie.
In 03, after winning an interleague series against the Yankees, the Mets crashed and burned.
In 2004, after sweeping the Yankees in interleague play, they once again crashed and burned.
2005 looked to break that habit....until Carlos Beltran and Mike Cameron crashed in the outfield, taking the Mets down with them.
2006...that's what number crunchers call a statistical anamoly.
And so here we are, in 2007, and the meltdown has arrived, and not a moment too soon. This is why I must apologize to you, Mr. Randolph, because you've put up the good fight, and managed for that one magical seson to delay the inevitable. But as we're learning, lightning does not strike twice. Your've put upt the good fight, and that's all I can ask of you.
Thank you, Mr. Randolph.
