Burying the Body

Posted on June 19, 2008 by romanwarhelmet

This will be my last Willie Randolph post. Well, unless he justifiably goes postal in the Met front office and kills Tony Bernazard. You see, the Willie Randolph firing has become the encapsulation of the last year and a half of the Met Franchise. Something needed to happen. Nothing [...]
