Mets 3 Braves 2

For the first time in at least 16 years, the Mets out-managed the Braves to a victory.

And yes, that includes the Bobby Valentine years (no offense, Bobby V.).

Jon Heyman of SI.com recently posted a “report card” of the managerial hirings this winter. In the article, he gave the Mets a “D+” for the hiring of Terry Collins, rating it #10 of 10 hirings — in other words, dead last.

If you have been reading MetsToday for at least a month, you know that Terry Collins was not my favorite choice. Despite that, I can’t put much stock into Heyman’s report card.
