It's really a formula ... the Mets know they don't have a starter that will give them seven or eight. They have to be thinking quality start and hope the offense scores some runs. It means going to the bullpen often. Dave …

Willie has a plan and is working it. In the last start by Maine I think it was Darling who commented on how he loses focus. I was on the train home at the time and wasn't able to 'watch' it on gamecast, but it seems to me that Maine was hitting a rough patch and as you say this team was built on offense/D/relief. Use what you got, exciting game. Good win. Now Glavine needs to go 6 and keep it to 2 or 3 runs, If we get lucky Trachs has a lights out game. Go Mets. Dave John,

It would have been easy for Randolph to stick with Maine against Ken Lofton, whom he had struck out twice already. I thought he might, but Randolph followed his plan and that's the quality of a good manager. Dan …

Did you see that piece in the Daily News about Willie's family in Holly Hill? Never underestimate the strength he got and still gets from that background. Think I mentioned that my one concern was Wagner............ Hi John –

That's a lot better than saying, ``I should have done this ... or that.'' He didn't waffle and that's a sign of a good manager. Willie had a plan and stuck with it.
