Earlier today, Jay Horowitz sent out a letter to Mets fans, telling them the team will do all the right things on the field.The problem? Well, besides calling our catcher "Jose Thole" (WTF?), the letter was "signed" by Terry Collins. The truth is: it came from Horowitz, Collins had nothing to do with it.
On the fan today, Mike Francesa interviewed Collins and asked him: "we know now that you didn't send the letter, but do you agree with its contents?" (Francesa's podcast is available for free through iTunes)
Terry's response: "I have to be honest, I haven't read the letter yet."
How the hell did they sign his name to it without even running it by them? Embarrassing.
I'm not by any means giving up on Alderson for one relatively insignificant snafu, but as a Mets fan, I'm snake-bitten. For now, the new regime looks a lot like the old one: one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing.
The Mets dropped their road opener to Florida on Friday, 6-2.
The Yankees defeated the Tigers in their home opener on Thursday by a score of 6 to 3.
