It's the 4-Year Anniversary of Terry Collins' Epic NSFW Rant and MLB Fans Need to Hear it
By Michael Luciano
Former New York Mets manager Terry Collins will always be remembered for leading the team to the World Series, but one of his most memorable moments as manager came on a cool summer night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The mild-mannered Collins went volcanic after starter Noah Syndergaard was ejected for throwing behind Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley, giving us legendary quotes like "You've got to give us a shot!" and "MLB does nothing!" along the way in a rant that will live on forever.
Some say that that umpire's a-- is still in the jackpot all these years later.
The best part about Collins' anger was how justified it was. Yes, Syndergaard was throwing at a top Met nemesis in Utley right after the whole Ruben Tejada broken leg fiasco, but he didn't even make contact with Utley. That doesn't warrant an ejection, and Collins was right to stand up for his player.
Collins might not have had the best end to his tenure as Mets manager, but this immortal rant and that magical 2015 season has helped fans in Queens look at the Collins era more favorably.
