Randolph who played most of his career in New York as a member of the Yankees while serving as a bench coach for a 11 seasons, leaves the Mets after little over 2 full seasons with a .544 winning percentage. The real buzz around the Randolph firing has been the 3am fax that was sent out to the press revealing the news. Apparently it came just an hour after Saenz had contacted Randolph. The ex-manager relayed his version to the press, “I got a phone call at around 2am—it was hard to hear at first, because I think Mr. Saenz was playing Madden 08…after he put the game on pause and told his buddies to “shut-the-hell-up”, he gave me the news”. It was after Randolph retold this aspect of the story that he had to leave the press conference for 5-10 minutes to compose himself. “F**k him, I would of done the same thing to Isaiah Thomas (former President of the New York Knicks) if I had arrived in town in time, said a very relaxed Saenz who was found in a laundry room that he was given permission to use by “a-friend-of-a-friend”. Saenz who hasn’t made his mind up about Eli Manning, said the release of Randolph came right after he checked off “get a post-office box” on his to-do list that he made prior to arriving to New York. “I got a sublet; I’ve signed up for some improv classes; and the other night after doing Rory’s (Scovel) show, I was digging out money to chip in for pizza and there it was on my list, and I was like—‘Shit! I forgot about Willie!’ Saenz explained. Saenz who has been asked to possibly help out Tatum O’Neil with her drug charges, shrugged at the idea. “You know I saw ‘Paper Moon’ and it was the only time I ever wanted to punch a kid…who knows…but I got laundry to do ya know?”
Aspiring comedian Jason Saenz fired New York Met's manager Willie Randolph early Tuesday morning during a recent string of personal moves as he starts to get acclimated to New York City.
Though the firing of Randolph wasn’t a surprise by those around town as the Mets entered tonight’s play at 34-35, what was surprising was that Saenz, a native of Fairfax VA, is the one that brought the hammer down on Randolph.
“I’m surprised, I loved this organization and though my relationship with Mr. Saenz has been non-existent until this point, I respect him and his decision”, said a befuddled and emotional Randolph.

DC Comedy Resolutions 4 2008, Part 1
"2006 was about learning how to be funny, and 2007 was about seeing where I am on the food chain, finding myself onstage and learning how to consistently have a good time. In 2008, I am going to make a serious effort at laying the groundwork for a real career so I can quit my day job." -Mike Way
"Perform. Perform perform perform perform perform. Also, in 2008 I resolve to bleed less."-Mike Blejer
"Start going to the gym to get more material."-Aparna Nancherla
"Get Colin Murchie off his ass and involved in this two-man show we've been planning. Finish my one-man show and, at the very least, stage a reading of it..."-Shawn Westfall
"This year I'm working harder on trying to bring out the elements that are naturally funny about myself. I started off with a heavier writing influence, but I'd like to be a little looser on stage. I want to experiment more with improvising, and get back to the joy of experimentation I had when I was starting."-Jimmy Meritt
"I think it's probably advisable that in 2008, women start washing their pussies."-Diana Saez
"My #1 resolution for 2008 is just to avoid apathy when it comes to stage time. Too many times I find myself sitting at my house at 7 at night thinking, "Eh I'll do a show tomorrow night." And then I see people who are getting up 5,6,7 nights a week and I'm disgusted with myself. As far as goals, short term I'd like to win an Improv Showcase and long term I'd like to start getting booked by the local clubs, if I can make that happen by the end of 2008 I'll consider the year a great success".-John Conroy
"Do more jokes about fat chicks."-Sean Gabbert
"Resolution 1: Try and get on shows (By any means necessary; Malcolm X said that, the star of Malcolm X in the Middle)
Resolution 2: Avoid laziness and write more (To achieve this I will get rid of my good job and nice girlfriend. Angry dick jokes here I come!)
Resolution 3: Stop letting a bad crowd get to me WHILE onstage (It's THEIR fault I'm not funny)
Resolution 4: Try and travel to some other cities to do comedy (Hampton's Big Adventure 2: Boner Parade)"-Hampton Yount
"I plan on being resolute, when it comes to performing. Also, I resolve to get better, during performances. Now, if someone can tell I what resolution means... does have anything to do with household goods, and cleaning-up??? Resolve."-Haywood Turnipseed, Jr (Scratch that, I plan on laughing louder; peace.)
