LOS ANGELES — Terry Collins is a raw, emotional guy who speaks from his gut, not a spin-approved script — take a bow, Joe Girardi.
So, when you are used to getting vanilla and clichés and non-answer answers and misinformation frequently from managers — did I mention Joe Girardi should take a bow? — the last thing I would want to do is stop Collins from being Collins.
That being said, I do think Collins’ words Wednesday on the final off-day of the division series — “This, to me, is gravy,” about the Mets having great accomplishment this season, win or lose Game 5 against the Dodgers — was, at minimum, imperfect.
