The New York Mets have been in a downward spiral of futility for what is going on several months now. Manager Terry Collins, at a loss at what’s been ailing the team, has tried just about anything and everything to help pull the team out of its tailspin. So much so, in fact, that he relied upon gallows humor to point out there isn’t much left he can do … outside a last-ditch effort that could prove to be very messy.
Collins, speaking after Thursday’s loss to the Chicago Cubs, offered up a rather rash suggestion as a way to find a way out of the team’s funk.
