The debacle of how the Mets handled firing Willie Randolph was Jon Stewart's first topic on last night's The Daily Show. Stewart, a loyal Mets fan, was not happy--video is above.
And David Letterman also considered the Mets' lackluster season so far on his Late Show Top 10 list (video directly above). Number 10 is "Less horseplay, more grab-ass."
Yesterday, the Post's Mike Vaccaro's column summed up the problem with general manager Omar Minaya decision to fire Randolph in Los Angeles--you know things are bad when the word "bum" is bandied about!
