Willie's Gut On a Roll

The Mets Manager Willie Randolph does not always manage by the book. Often times he will just go with a gut feeling. Last year Willie's gut was a problem for Met fans. It seemed to us that every time he used his gut something went wrong. But as of late his gut has been working to his advantage. Two nights ago he decided to sit Xavier Nady and play Endy Chavez in right field. I remember before that game when I saw the line-up I thought to myself "What in the blue hell is Willie doing?" But by the end of the game Endy ended that thought. I was very impressed with Endy's performance. He went 4 for 5 with an RBI a run, and an amazin' diving catch. Yesterday Willie gave Carlos Delgado the day off being that he had played in every game up till that point. With Delgado out of the line-up I assumed that Floyd would move to the 4 hole, with David Wright in the 5 hole. But Willie put David in the 4 hole and put Xavier in the 5 hole, keeping Floyd in the 6 hole. Once again I questioned Willies judgment, but his decision panned out. Nady went 1 for 4 with a 3 run shot and an RBI walk. Nady tied his career high 4 RBIs in one game. Floyd went 0 for 3. In the same game Randolph opted to give Kaz Matsui the day off and play Chris Woodward that too worked to the Mets advantage as Woody recorded 2 hits. So as of late Willie's gut feelings are working to his advantage...What will Randolph's next gut decision be and will it pan out of the Mets? That remains to be seen...
