Recently, New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway made the comment, “New York is tough on players.”
A clear excuse, Callaway needs to stop making them and push this team to its limits.
No one denies that New York is a tough place to play. Big market cities come with big market pressure to perform when it’s all said and done. The Mets are not excused from that pressure but it should also not be a reason for their poor performance as of late. Callaway’s comments were not only not necessary but a sad excuse that was basically salt poured onto an open wound.
