Mickey Callaway comes clean: ‘It’s gonna take a miracle’

Mickey Callaway admitted what everyone else already seemed to know on Friday.

“We’re in a tough spot. It’s gonna take a miracle,” The Mets GM told WFAN’s Mike Francesa. ‘I’ve seen miracles before … We’re down in the win-loss column. That’s the bottom line.

The Mets sit in fourth in the NL East at 37-45, 11 games behind the first-place Braves, who they begin a three-game set with Friday night at Citi Field.

Callaway’s words are especially fitting, given that the franchise is celebrating the anniversary of the Miracle Mets, the 1969 squad that seemed destined for the basement, but turned it around to win the World Series.
