While we here at SoxandPhils are giddily dreaming of October, it would be irresponsible if we didn't take a moment to remember the poor Mets fans today.
I'm sure they have long accepted that their team is going nowhere, but now that Willie Randolph has been fired in the dead of the night, how are they going to spend the rest of the season? I guess they can always speculate on whom the permanent manager will be.
Speaking of which, the Phillies are trying to get fans to vote Chase Utley and Pat Burrell into the All-Star game. Utley doesn't need the help; Burrell does. But now that Randolph is gone, the organization and fans should start putting pressure on Clint Hurdle to name Charlie Manuel to replace him as a coach.
And Willie's classless firing - did they at least pay for his return trip from California? - didn't surprise those who made preseason predictions on this site, except the Mets fan.
All right, back to teams that matter. See you at the park tonight.
