Well, I’m back again. My blog here has sat for just over a year, with no new posts. A lot of readers, but no new content. \ud83d\ude42 I really didn’t stop writing for no other reason that lack of time. A lot has happened in the last year…but I’m not going to rehash any of what we already know.<\/p>\n

I’m back because I always used my blog to write about things I’m passionate about, whether it’s politics, the environment, transportation, computers, or whatever. Today, I’m writing about how the Wilpons – owners of the NY Mets – handled the firing of Willie Randolph.<\/p>\n

The Wilpons should be ashamed of themselves. Firing Willie in the middle of the night on the west coast to avoid the NY media for a day, the Wilpons made a joke out of the Mets, out of Willie, and out of the fans. It left such distaste in my mouth, after this classless, classless act.<\/p>\n
