NEW YORK — By the end of this week, Terry Collins will be the longest-tenured manager in New York Mets history.
Hard to believe, really.
Then again, nothing is ever easy when it comes to Collins and the Mets.
With his team on a seven-game losing streak 6 1/2 weeks into a trying season, Collins is set to catch Davey Johnson on Friday night for most games managed in a Mets uniform (1,012). Nifty feat for a senior citizen some considered just a stopgap when he was hired in November 2010 as New York began to rebuild under general manager Sandy Alderson.
