Well, Johnny Damon, Craig Wilson would have some problems on the Mets.And, now... Willie's rules --

It's strange because, in the article, Willie talks about how he is modelling his managerial style after Billy Martin.But... these rules?

This spring, Randolph has laid down a laundry list of rules for his players to follow. Randolph calls them "standards" and he laughed loudly when asked if Martin had many rules."How can you have rules when you break them all yourself?" Randolph asked.

I miss Billy.
