"See you tomorrow Mickey"

Centerfield Jun 24 2019 08:25 AM

There's gotta be more to it than this right? I'm trying to think of the worst, sleeziest, snarkiest way someone can say this that would make a guy go off like that. I can't picture it. Let's unfold what happened. *Tim Healey, beat writer for Newsday, says to Mickey after the presser "See you tomorrow Mickey". *Mickey responds by cursing him out, calling him a MF *Mickey comes back out, cursing him out again. *Vargas gets violent and has to be physically restrained. There's gotta be some history there right? Healey's one of the good guys on the beat. Not afraid to take ownership to task when necessary, critical but fair to the Mets. I hope the Callaway presser provides some details about any perceived slight. I'm guessing it will just be "miscommunication".

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 24 2019 08:29 AM Re: "See you tomorrow Mickey"

Well I think Mickey was unnerved by the questioning and interpreted the "see ya tomorrow" remark as a flippant and passive-aggressive comment on his unraveling job security. OTOH, Mickey is apparently managing tonight which makes me think he can perhaps get away with still more. Miurder?

Healey claims he just said as he would any other day ‘See ya tomorrow' like you would say ‘ things will be better tomorrow'

I thought about that. That is a real stretch no? I feel like that warrants a "What's that supposed to mean you little shit?" Or "Yeah, real funny, wiseass." But dropping MF's and coming back out to curse him out again?

I think it's plausible that Callaway has had enough , he is being held back and told what to do by a slick GM....he flipped and this was it

Edgy MD Jun 24 2019 08:55 AM Re: "See you tomorrow Mickey"

Previous conversations on record between Callaway and Healey: Healey: Hey, Mick. How's your day going? Callaway: Go fuck yourself, Tim. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Healey: Yo, Mick, have you seen the new Toy Story? Callaway: Yeah, I went with your mother, Douchebag. She didn't watch. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Healey: Thanks for your time, Mickey. Callaway: Yeah? How 'bout you come back and say that while you're eating my ass out, you fucking little shit!

I'll bet that's a part of it. Mickey ain't BVW's guy. Plus one a half seasons of taking outrageous orders.from Jeff Wilpon....

Edgy MD Jun 24 2019 09:06 AM Re: "See you tomorrow Mickey"

Healey: Morning, Mick. That the crossword? Callaway: Yeah, I need a five-letter word for "Get the fuck out of my locker room." Healey: Always a pleasure, Skipper.

They have to fine or suspend Vargas. Now, it can be an four-game suspension effective after his next start...

Honey, I've decided it's time for me to work blue. It's funny, but it seems Mickey's little tirade has to some degree taken the spotlight off the disastrous game decisions that precipitated it.

The Mets can fire Mickey about the same time they become sellers. Possibly after the Phlly series. 2019 Mets brought to you by Kahns

metirish Jun 24 2019 12:45 PM Re: "See you tomorrow Mickey"

I am really note sure if Heyman is joking but he tweets that the Mets plan to get Callway and Healey together today in a room.... Puma tweeting the Mets will hold a team meeting today...............it's becoming a weekly thing now

Based on what I gleaned from the press availabilities provided by Van Wagenen, Callaway and Vargas, they're all dismal people.

A Boy Named Seo Jun 24 2019 03:50 PM Re: "See you tomorrow Mickey"

I love how Vargas described it as an "unfortunate distraction" like it was a fender bender caused by someone else that made him late for an appointment instead of he and Mickey losing their tempers and acting like dickhead bros.

Edgy MD Jun 24 2019 04:16 PM Re: "See you tomorrow Mickey"

And like the real victim isn't Healey, but the general focus of the baseball club. Newsday is still a key radio sponsor, aren't they?

Bunt the First Two Jun 24 2019 10:05 PM Re: "See you tomorrow Mickey"

I am a cub reporter for The White Plains Journal-News. First road trip with the Mets! I even shined my shoes! Chicago got a Game-One rout. The Mets took Two and Three. If they could steal the series, juicy angles I could see! And for seven innings, I thought that would transpire But there in inning eight, no Cubs could Seth Lugo retire I got my post-game notes and then I left to write a quickie But then I set the night on fire, said “See you later Mickey!” You'd think I'd told him “Suck a dick,” the way that he reacted. The words that sprung forth from his throat would have to be redacted. I heard a dozen f-bombs, and a “cocksucker,” an “ass.” I ran like hell (though saw him later on at Sunday Mass). * * * My name is Morgan Maynard. I'm a staff writer for [I]Elle[/I]. We rarely cover baseball, but I said, “Oh, what the Hell?” The Mets, they had a woman who announced on the PA — A minor female breakthrough, and we thought there'd be some play. I spoke with players, management, groundskeepers, ushers, fans. The manager, he met the press all huddled ‘neath the stands. I got a tossed-off quote, and said, “Hey Mickey, catch you later.” Jesus Christ, he blew his stack, and I the instigator. “What the fucking fucking FUCK is THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!!” He screamed and jumped, went for my throat, 'til Regan jumped between. “So this is baseball?” I then thought, and bid a fast retreat. But Mickey and his foul mouth, pursued me down the street. * * * My name is Juan, and I write sports reports for [I]El Diario[/I]. You'd only know my stuff if you reside within the barrio. But I work hard and think I've earned respect along the way. In Spanish and in English, I ask players ‘bout their day. But I, this weekend, still don't understand quite what went down. Everyone was tense as I asked questions all around. Said, “Hola, Mick, we've met before — that junket in Havana!” Things were copacetic 'til I said, “Hasta mañana!” He tore his shirt, he punched his chest, he screamed “HIJO DE PUTA!” “El MARINCÓN!” he fired at me while smashing my computa. As Jason Vargas held me down, Mickey beat me silly. I spat some teeth, resolving to not join the Mets in Philly. And then that night I nursed my wounds down in the hotel bar, I saw a shellshocked chick from [I]Ellle[/I] knock back her third Lone Star. A cub reporter sat beside, and he just threw down shots. I scooched up there right next to them and ordered tater tots “Let me guess,” I said to them, “It's Mickey Callaway.” The chick said “Did you know that he's been banned from JFK? The guy — he's just gone nuts since Céspedes fell off the horse He broke this cub reporter's nose and never showed remorse!” All agreed the weird part was the words that did provoke him. And after seven rounds, we swore we'd wake him up and choke him. Instead we drank to Mick's red ass, and never asked him why The fuck he stuck with Lugo and he hung him out to dry.
