According to any report you read Willie Randolph is on thin ice and may be fired very very soon. Some reports say that he only has this weekend to turn things around in the series verse the Texas Rangers. Sadly the same reports say that if Willie is indeed fired he will be replaced by current assistant manager Jerry Manuel. Now I am not saying Jerry Manuel is a bad manager and he has even won the prestigious award manager of the year before. The real problem is that Jerry Manuel have similar managing styles and that is why he is on his coaching staff. As always Omar Minaya gave his support before this game, but of course he is going to say that when he is on the chopping block too.

If you are curious how Willie feels about his situation here is how he felt before the today's game:

“I’m here. You see me. I’m still here (patting himself down). Yeah, man. I can’t control what’s said and written and stuff. I just come to work here ready to go, and put these guys in a spot where they can produce and finish up strong on this home stand.”

Other than Minaya and Randolph it is said that Rick Peterson and Howard Johnson could as well be out the door. I honestly hope Minaya, Randolph, and Peterson get fired and Hojo stays. Peterson has done a great job, but the team needs change and I feel a guy like Mike Pelfrey will benefit from the change.

Enough of this Willie crap in other news Moises Alou is on the DL and Robinson Cancel was called up to replace him. Genius move to call up a 3rd catcher.
