Mickey Callaway is Clearly off the Rails With Latest Incorrect Comment Regarding Mets

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway has officially gone bonkers. After screaming at Newsday reporter Tim Healey in the locker room Sunday night and following it up with a bizarre apology the next day, we thought he had reached peak crazy.

Apparently, he had only just begun. This comment Callaway made prior to New York's matchup with the Phillies Wednesday marks a new level of deranged, even for Mickey.

In fairness to Callaway, losing your mind is an inevitable outcome of being employed by Fred and Jeff Wilpon; we just thought it would take more than a season-and-a-half for the manager to reach this point.

At first glance, the comment seems like it must simply be a poorly-phrased statement, and that he's referring to a smaller sample size of winning than the entire second half of last season. While that would be a remarkably depressing way to measure success if it were the case, even that is not close to possible.

It's an unquestionable fact that the Mets' perennial dysfunction starts with inept ownership, but that shouldn't give the manager a free pass to be a raving lunatic.

Maybe the rumors are true and Callaway is trying to get himself fired so he can take his salary and find a new job as a pitching coach. If that's the reality, he's doing one hell of a job at making his case for getting thrown out of town.
