Terry Collins

After all of the coaches we have seen in recent years it feels like a new beginning with Terry Collins. I get the feeling that his optimism, energy and intensity is the jolt we need to ignite our lineup, rotation and ballpark. Collins was the maneger of the Astros and the Angels and led both teams to winning records and second place finishes. His departure from both teams seems like injuries and adversity got the better of him. Since '99 when he left the Angles he has been managing Orix Buffaloes of the Pacific League in Japan. Last season he worked in the Mets minor league system.

"Today was the most fun I had in 12 years."
