Willie Freed!

The Mets fired Willie Randolph at 3:15 in the morning, the night after he flew cross-country with the team to face the Los Angeles Angels (of Anaheim), who play across the highway from Disneyland -- one of the most magical places on earth.

His situation is practically the exact opposite of any Super Bowl MVP:

ANNOUNCER: Willie Randolph -- you've just been fired by the New York Mets! What are you going to do next?

WILLIE:
I'm gettin' the hell out of Disneyland!

I guess with Willie gone, Carlos Delgado will finally stop being a slow, fat, waste of space and the bullpen will finally be able to hold leads. Thanks for holding those saints back, Randolph. Now the Mets will shine like shiny cubic zirconia rings they truly are!

Of course, somewhere in Tampa, a confused and drooling George Steinbrenner stops throwing his pancakes into a ceiling fan and whispers to no one: "Well played, Minaya. Well played indeed."
