Mets Lose Manuel Debut
Looks like the managerial change didn’t spark the Mets. In the first game since Jerry Manuel took the managers reins from Willie Randolph the Mets lost 6-1 to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Team could field behind Johan Santana. They couldn’t support him with runs either.
On other bad news Jose Reyes hurt his hamstring in the first inning. Manuel pulled Reyes from the game. Reyes was visibly unhappy and went to the clubhouse to cool off. After Manuel talked with him in the clubhouse Reyes returned to the dugout to apologize to Manuel for losing his cool when he was pulled from the game.
The Reyes incident was a good one. Not because he hurt his hamstring but because it tested Manuel in his first game as manager. It gave him a situation he needed to assert himself as the skipper of the club and he came through by telling a player that he behaved unprofessionally and he wouldn’t have that on his team.
