A very sad and deplorable display took place today at Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles. During the 6th inning of the game between the Mets and Dodgers, the New York Mets QUIT. Now, if you've followed baseball (or any sport), for any length of time, you know that using the Q word is the most harsh, and insulting thing, you can ever say about a sports team. I do not bandy that word about lightly. After falling behind 3 to 1 in the bottom of the 5th, the Mets came to the plate in the top of the 6th as a team ready to roll over, and they did.
Willie Randolph now faces the biggest crisis of his young managerial career. He has to stay the bleeding right here, he has to remotivate his team, and he has to lose his cool in a way he's never lost it before. Because his team QUIT on him today. They said to him "we do not care how we play". Willie Randolph - the ball is in your court. Make sure your team knows you will NEVER again stand for the pathetic display of baseball we witnessed today in Dodger Stadium.
This team is at a crossroads, folks. And you are blind if you think this is now going to magically turn around. It's gone too far, too many losses, in horrific brutal fashion, but none of them were worse then tonight. The team quit. Now Willie has to go to work.
