Mets respond big time after brass challenges Mickey Callaway
Michael Conforto celebrates his home run with Robinson Cano and Mickey Callaway.Either Jeff Wilpon and Brodie Van Wagenen’s words provided instant motivation that was lacking or Derek Jeter’s flat-lining Marlins served as the perfect antidote for what ailed the Mets.
