Terry Collins has a new contract to keep managing the New York Mets. He can only hope for a second chance in the World Series.
As his team goes into its unexpectedly, but happily, shortened offseason, Sandy Alderson can now start facilitating the Mets' return to the World Series in 2016.
The contract will also reportedly include a pay raise for Collins, 66, but it wasn't clear how much.
Terry Collins is getting a lot of attention from fellow New York coaches these days.
File this under "it seemed like a good idea at the time."
It was an exhilarating run with an empty feeling at the finish line. For a team that lost the World Series in five games, the New York Mets came tantalizingly close to winning.
Former Met and current SNY and TBS analyst Ron Darling joined WFAN host Mike Francesa on Monday afternoon, and he said that he would have gone straight to Familia for the ninth.
Cespedes struggled in the postseason. He made some blunders in the field and on the bases, and batted just .222 with two homers and 17 strikeouts in 54 at-bats.
Some fans now wonder if Harvey gave too much by returning to the mound in the ninth after tossing eight scoreless innings.
It was a perfect microcosm. Of the men and the Mets.
The New York Mets came up short in their quest for their first World Series championship since 1986, as the Kansas City Royals won the Fall Classic for the first time since 1985, four games to one.
There is no sugar-coating the fact that the end of the Mets' season early Monday morning came during an animated dugout conversation between Matt Harvey and Terry Collins.
The Kansas City Royals won their second World Series title on Sunday with a 7-2 win in 12 innings at Citi Field in New York.
Matt Harvey demanded the ball in the ninth inning of the Mets' biggest game in years, the biggest start of his career. He got it. And once again in the World Series, Harvey did not get the result he hoped for.
Terry Collins knew what he wanted to do. And he didn't do it.
Hosmer's alert sprint home from third base on a grounder finished off a two-run burst in the ninth against Matt Harvey and closer Jeurys Familia.
Through eight innings on Sunday, the Mets appeared destined to send the World Series back to Kansas City for Game 6. Then everything fell apart.
After being attended to by trainers, Cespedes stayed in the game, but popped out weakly to short two pitches later and was visibly hobbling as he ran down the first base line.
Fans at Citi Field hope to bring good luck to the Mets Sunday night as they take on the Royals in Game 5 of the World Series Championship.
The second baseman let a grounder get under his glove in the eighth inning and the Kansas City Royals quickly pounced for three runs, beating the Mets 5-3 Saturday night to take a 3-1 lead.
The Kansas City Royals are one win away from a World Series title after beating the New York Mets 5-3 on Saturday. The Royals trailed 2-0 and 3-1, but scored one in the sixth and three in the eighth to win. They can claim the trophy Sunday night in New York.
You don't want to eulogize the Mets. Not after this enchanted run, from their laughable June lineup to their July awakening to their glorious summer run to the charmed October roll.
Daniel Murphy's error on Eric Hosmer's grounder in the eighth inning keyed yet another comeback for the tenacious Royals, and Kansas City startled the Mets 5-3 to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
The Mets blew a 3-2 lead in the eighth inning and now find themselves in a 3-1 World Series hole.
