There were those who said the Mets had plenty of reasons to part company with Mr. Randolph — 35 reasons this season (the number of games the Mets had lost). The team was tied with the Atlanta Braves for third place in the National League East, 6 ½ games out of first. The Mets were just under .500 for the season, having won 34 games.

So, does this mean the Braves should be hunting for a new manager?
