LISTEN: Lenny Dykstra Calls Terry Collins ‘A Joke,’ Says ‘Mets Won’t Win With Him’

Lenny Dykstra was a key piece on the 1986 New York Mets world championship team. Thirty years later, they have failed to win another title.

That may not change if Terry Collins remains as manager … in the eyes of Dykstra.

“As long as Terry Collins is there, they’ll lose,” Dykstra told me on “The Jake Brown Show” on CBS Radio’s Play.it. “I can’t take him. He’s a joke. At our 30-year reunion, he’s shaking everyone’s hand. … I said, ‘You’re lucky you got good mother-(expletive) pitching.’ … When he was in Houston and had (Jeff) Bagwell and (Craig) Biggio, those guys hated him.
