Loose lips sink ships.
And apparently bring gag orders from folks who run baseball teams.
So Terry Collins, who all along has been up front and forthright in talking about Mets injuries, has been told to impersonate a clam when it comes to things medical and make no comments.
That sat about as well with Collins as blown save because a team source said the manager was downright irate about being told he could not discuss Mets injury matters.
So Collins did the good-soldier routine at his pregame press gathering before the Mets faced the Padres on Wednesday night.
