It's Time To Fire Willie Randolph

Submitted by Chris, May 2, 2008 14:06

I think the time to do it was the end of last season. Even if it wasn't entirely fair, someone should have been held accountable for the disgraceful ending to last season. Not firing him sent a message to everyone involved that it was OK to give away the division. At this point, who is going to step in and turn things around?
