The Captain Feels Bad

Derek Jeter found out about Willie Randolph's firing this afternoon and told Mike and the Mad Dog that he was upset to hear about Randolph's manager.

"I feel bad for Willie," Jeter said today on WFAN's "Mike and the Mad Dog" program. "It's unfortunate. I know how much he cares about winning and how hard he works." "I don't pay attention to what goes on [with the Mets] because we have our own issues," Jeter said. "But I feel bad for him. Hopefully he gets another opportunity to manage."

The Captain even took a veiled shot at the cross-town team.

"I just found out about an hour ago," Jeter said. "I'm not awake at 3 o'clock in the morning."
