If the Terry Collins experiment doesn't work out, Met fans, we may have had the remedy right under our noses the entire time... David Lennon. Newsday's "acclaimed" Mets beat writer is already agreeing with comparisons of the Mets new skipper to, you guessed it, Jerry Manuel. Mind you, Collins hasn't even managed ONE GAME for the Metropolitans.
I mean seriously, David, give the guy a break! Terry didn't pick on you in high school... He wasn't one of the bullies that gave you a swirly in the locker room... He wasn't the gym teacher that got in your face and made fun of you because you couldn't manage to do one push-up.
Maybe there is a method behind this batting order. Maybe he wants the guys that take a lot of pitches (Thole and Emaus) consistently batting at the bottom of the order. Maybe he doesn't want to overwhelm Lucas Duda just yet. Maybe he wants Angel Pagan to protect Carlos Beltran. Maybe he doesn't want to have a completely different lineup out there everyday, i.e. Jerry Manuel. Maybe he wants his players to become comfortable with their spots in the batting order for when Jason Bay gets off the DL. Maybe you should just let the guy manage a few games before you start to criticize.
Maybe if you weren't such a arrogant prick, I'd stop making you my bitch!
