"They’ve got to get a little bit more fire in their belly… I see them going through the motions… I think that is what they are really missing, the attitude, the swagger about being in New York, and representing New York. Other teams don’t fear them. There’s no fear. They’ve got to get to that point where other teams fear them, whatever it takes. Teams feared us when they came to the ballpark… They say it’s a different time now. It’s not a different time. It’s baseball; it’s still the same game… If nobody fears you, they are going to beat all over you and they are going to laugh at you, and that’s what teams do to the Mets now… I care about the organization. I like the manager. I care about them winning, but nobody is going to give it to them. They need to understand that: You’ve got to go out and you’ve got to take it."
