New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway reportedly shouted profanities at a Newsday reporter in the clubhouse Sunday and starting pitcher Jason Vargas challenged the reporter to a fight and had to be restrained from going after him.
The incident came after the Mets' bullpen blew a 3-2 lead in the eighth inning Sunday in what resulted in a 5-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
Callaway told the team's public relations staff to escort Newsday's Tim Healey from the clubhouse, telling them to "get this m-----f----- out of here," according to the multiple reporters present.
