Why can't Willie win in September?

User 362 Oct 04 2007 07:07 AM

[url=http://metbaseball.blogspot.com/]As the data shows[/url], Willie Randolph has never had a winning record in September with the Mets. Given that September is often the most important month for a team in a pennant race, the Mets inability to win in September can result in disaster, as occurred this season. Why hasn't Willie been able to win in September?

We've had a lot of the same players the last three years, and certainly the last two, so I see no reason to single out the manager.

Doesn't mean a thing.

Sometimes numbers and stats get annoying, in 2006 the Mets were so far a head so maybe that's why they played .500 baseball, plus being so far ahead they were able to play September call ups, this year they were against the wall and didn't respond.

13-15 in 2005. 14-15 in 2006. 14-14 in 2007. (THAT surprised me! The Mets win 9 of their first 11 games last month.) http://www.ultimatemets.com/metannual.php?ThisYear=2007&tabno=3
