In his column today in the NY Post Kevin Kernan has some quotes from David Wright regarding Willie Randolph that may surprise some. David told Kernan that:

“There is another side to Randolph, I’ve seen him throw chairs. I’ve seen him flip tables. I’ve seen him kick people in the butt, The motivation is there, now it’s completely up to us as players to go out there and do our jobs and to get it done.”

So, maybe the Wally Backman, Larry Bowa and Lou Pinella side of Willie is not talked about much, but according to Wright there is a side to Willie that can be Mark Foleyesque. Maybe if he were to be thrown out of games the way Bobby Cox is, just to prove to us that he cares, he’d accumulate as many rings as Cox has. Yeah, and with all that talent for all those many years in Atlanta, one ring would have been suffice here in NY? … No, folks, he would have been getting tossed from games elsewhere a long long time ago.
