How did Jon Stewart react to the Mets' performance?
I don't know what you did this weekend. I hope you had a nice time. What did I do this weekend? I went out, took the kids out to the park for a little bit and had a nice dinner with my wife. We had a lovely time. And then on Sunday, I had my, what was it, my heart taken out of my chest and then eaten in front of me. My beloved New York Mets, after I went through the trouble all day Saturday of teaching a three-year-old the Meet the Mets song. Meet the Mets. Meet the Mets. Is that good, Daddy? Is it good? Love me? I want the third stanza done with heart, boy, with heart! The Mets lost in a historic collapse. I don't know if you saw this picture on the cover of the Post. It turns out, yeah, it turns out the New York Post cameras can take a picture of my soul. But it's not over yet. Apparently, everybody thinks it's over, but if we can just get the Earth to reverse rotation, this thing can be played again. So there you go, New York Mets. Motherfuckers. First, before we get into anything, I have a question for you. You ever been fired? I've been fired.
I've been fired a lot. I've been fired. I've been fired from bakeries that I worked at. I've been fired from women's clothing stores. I was once fired by my brother. My brother fired me from a horse. But one thing that's never... I was fired by Stripagram once. One thing that's never happened to me is that I've been fired at 3 o'clock in the morning... 3,000 miles away from where I live. Willie Randolph, the New York Mets manager, my beloved Mets. This guy, okay, the Mets suck, fine. But they could have fired Willie Randolph at any point over the last year. So what they do is they wait before he takes a trip to Los Angeles. They fly him all the way out to Los Angeles. He wins the game, and then they fire him that night at 3 o'clock in the morning.
Why was Willie Randolph fired at an odd hour?
When you get a call at 3 o'clock in the morning, that's for sex. That's not for being fired. He did not deserve that. It is classless. Here's how bad it is. This is the New York Post. Tiger Woods. They didn't even have time to put Willie Randolph being fired. Classless. I mean, maybe they flew him out to Los Angeles because they thought, well, we're going to fire him. He should at least get his frequent flyer miles. I don't know. Bastardos. And this is the worst part. We have a tape. of the call of him being fired. You cannot believe who they got to fire him.
Hey, Willie, it's Mr. Met. Good morning. Oh, and guess what? You're fired, so pack up your crap, get the out of the clubhouse, give me your . What, you wanna meet the Mets? Why don't you meet Mr. Met? I'll meet you in the parking lot, you bum. Oh, and another thing, keep your dirty mitts off of Mrs. Met, you son of a bitch. No disrespect, all due respect, forget about it, how you doing?
Not right! Willie didn't deserve this. World Series is Wednesday night. Tampa Bay Rays facing the Phillies in the World Series starting Wednesday night. Both these teams, and this is the key part, from crucial swing states. This is going to put the candidates in a bit of a pickle. Tampa Bay, of course, from Florida, and the Philadelphia Phillies are from...
