On this date 2 years ago, following a 9-8 loss to the Nationals, Willie Randolph uttered one of the most unforgettable quotes in Mets history:
This feels very normal to me, the way a playoff race should be. When we sip the champagne later on, it'll be even sweeter.
I'm not one to believe in curses but in this case I'll make an exception. It's all your fault Willie.

Bah.
Willie was set up by his own players.
Minaya brought most of those players here.
Minaya fired Willie to save face, and 2 years later, it still points to Minaya.
Minaya, Minaya, Minaya.

Agreed
Don’t forget about Bernazard’s hand in all of that.

It's starting to feel very normal to me too...
If by “normal”, you mean, “watching other teams go to the playoffs”.

Meh
I didn’t like Willie, but I’ve moved on at this point.
Willie sucked, but so does Jerry. And Omar sucks. And the Wilpons Suck. One of them lost his job, because as they say “Shit rolls downhill.”

I'll never understand til this day why Cliff Floyd was put on that NLCS roster
They played a man short the entire series and this dude asked gimpy ass Floyd to pinch hit in a high leverage situation thinking he’d create a Kirk Gibson moment. WTF.

Exactly
That was Manuel’s influence. Thank god Omar and the Wilpons got him to be our bench coach to help guide Willie.
