The Washington Post has the best recap of the Callaway Incident that I have read so far, and is definitely worth your click to see some of the comments by Tim Healy.
“I was in no way trying to be aggressive or antagonistic or anything. At that point in the day, I want to talk to Diaz and then leave, you know? What’s the point in me trying to pick a fight?” (via Washington Post)
Now in that article is a weird tweet from Mike Puma of the New York Post in which Puma says “possible that Mickey Callaway is trying to get fired.” That’s a heck of a thing to mention in a tweet. The language chosen is very Aldersonesque and makes me wonder if it is possible that Mike Puma is trying to get fired. That is conceivable to me. Sandy taught me how to parse language well. Perhaps Puma wrote more in the newspaper, but that’s some bomb to throw in a tweet.
UPDATE: a friend has pointed me toward Mike’s comments on the radio where he elaborates more. It still sounds speculative to my ear but hey, let’s hear from Mike himself..
#Mets' beat reporter Mike Puma explains to @MooreToSay why he suspects Mickey Callaway is trying to get fired.
