In sports, there’s no secret formula to success; nor any better cure for pessimism or controversy than winning. In Mickey Callaway’s case, I’m not sure there’s anything else he can do, but do everything in his power to maximize the New York Mets chances of winning.
And as their recent surge in the standings seems to suggest, they have all the passion, and more importantly, the starting pitching and offense to win games down the stretch.
So, how does Callaway save his job? Simply put: Just win. That’s it.
However, in order to do that, he needs to protect his team’s leads late in games.
