Take a good look at CitiField, honey...

For this will be the site of my career defining fiasco. You thought Houston and Anaheim were bad? This is New York! They REMEMBER the disasters here!

(Seriously... it should be even money Terry Collins doesn't finish the season.)

Mets search to REPLACE Terry Collins starts tomorrow

So the Mets are going to do it.
They are going to hand the keys to one of the most expensive rosters in baseball and what SHOULD be one of the marquee franchises in the game to a guy who couldn't handle the baseball pressure cookers that are Houston and Anaheim.

Now you are going to put him in the New York media market who want to run managers out of town on a rail AFTER they win a World Series?

The Mets are giving a hot head manager with a 24/7 sports media hovering over Queens waiting for him to say something stupid?

This is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

If I am Bob Melvin, Wally Backman or even Bobby Valentine for that matter... I'd have my resumes ready. There might be an opening in APRIL!

By the way, I am saying this is a bad move NOW and I said it was a bad move 15 days ago when I couldn't believe he was in the running.

No second guess here.

So Terry Collins, who had basically a players revolt on his hands in Anaheim, gets a third chance.

Chris Chambliss? He can't get a first chance.

Go figure.

TERRY COLLINS?

Are the Mets REALLY considering Terry Collins as a managerial candidate?
Evidently they are!

A guy who flamed out in Houston... a guy who had the players revolt against him in Anaheim... not exactly the two biggest baseball media pressure cookers in the land... is being considered to manage in New York City?

And be asked to take over a team that has a combination of veterans and young players... a team that has no identity but tons of expectations... and you could hand the keys over to a notorious hot head with no patience?

If they hire Terry Collins, they should also hire his replacement as well and introduce him in the press conference as "the man who will replace Collins when he melts down and tries to stab a WFAN host in the neck with a pen."

Why not just make the marketing slogan for the year be "Mets baseball... There Will Be Blood!"
