    I'm extremely upset to See Willy Randolph go.  I was hoping that everything would turn around for him, but it just wasn't in the cards.  I met him years ago at Lou Pinella's birthday party and found him to be a really nice guy, great smile, great personality, great sense of humor....a really NICE GUY!  They say that 'NICE GUYS FINISH LAST!"  But I don't consider him finishing last, I think he's going out  a champ!  (He'll be back somewhere) 

   I am NOT  a baseball expert, I'm just a loyal fan.  I don't claim to know what it takes to manage a team.  I'm just a fan!  I DO know that it has to be difficult to deal with multimillion dollar atheletes and keep them in line.  I don't know what went on behind closed locker room doors, but I Do think the blame has to be shared by upper management and the PLAYERS!   They seemed to lay down on the job.

   I also think it was a mistake to force Reyes to calm down last year, when he was the SPARK PLUG that ignited the team.  Who cares what the other teams think or say?

   Let's hope the change can produce the championship team we were promised!  Wouldn't it be GREAT if the YANKEES and the METS played one last SUBWAY WORLD SERIES at both stadiums before they're both gone?  ONE BIG LAST HURRAH!!

   It could still happen.  Oh yeah and METS IT WAS totally CLASSLESS and cowardly the way you broke it to WILLY. I hope you're all ashamed of yourselves!

He didn't deserve that!

insane-person....It all started in a log cabin many years ago...WAIT!! HOLD UP HERE!! I've never even been in a log cabin! The closest I came was using their syrup on my wheatcakes! Okay, let's pick it up when I was eleven years old and started drumming. It began with me banging on the table..A LOT..and annoying the adults at dinnertime. I was fascinated by rythyms and soon included pots, pans and wooden spoons into the act...but before long people were using the wooden spoons on me...it was a new form of family marshal arts called "NUN-JA". Whenever I drummed on the utensils, a wooden spoon would appear out of thin air and find my noggin, accompanied by "Nun-ja do that in the house!", "Nun-ja do that at the table!", "You're giving everybody a headache!", etc. So I figured I'd join a band..only nobody wanted a percussionist who played table, pots and pans. I saved my allowance, bought a cheap set of drums, found a teacher, and the journey began. Imagine what it's like doing something you love and making a living at it!! At first that's all I could do..IMAGINE! But eventually it happened..I made my investment back by doing weddings and school dances. I progressed into Jazz, then R&B/Soul music and got a fulltime gig with a group called "The Jewels" in NYC that lasted 10 years. I then moved into pure Rock & Roll and, with one of the Jewels, founded a group that eventually became "JF Murphy & Salt". For years, besides drumming, I sang background with the group. But that ended when our sound guy got sick and his replacement found a "disconnected" wire in our sound system and plugged it in. When we started to play, there was this blood-curdling screech that was enough to empty everybody'
