Colonel Willard gets his man

Just like in Apocalypse Now, the journey down a river strewn with madness and death ended last night for Willie Randolph. As Willie sat in his room at the Sheraton Anaheim with his forehead beading with sweat, Omar Minaya slid into the room to finish off the Mets manager:

WILLIE

“They say why..., Omar, why they wanted to terminate my

command ?"

OMAR

" They told me that you had gone totally insane and that your

methods were unsound."


WILLIE

" Are my methods unsound?"


OMAR

" I don't see any method at all, sir."


WILLIE

" Are you an assassin?"


OMAR

" I'm a General Manager."


WILLIE

" You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks

to collect a bill."


The Horror. The Horror.
