The things Terry Collins *didn't* answer on Twitter [NSFW]
Earlier today, I put together a full transcript of Terry Collins taking questions on Twitter. Read it here.
But because the Internet is sometimes a strange place, there were a lot of people asking a lot of questions that Terry Collins didn't answer. They are below. Some text is NSFW.

Mets have their very own Tim Tebow in Eric Niesen
Tim Tebow is unabashed about his religion. So is Mets farmhand Eric Niesen. Here are just a few tweets from Niesen's Twitter feed...
Thankfully, I'm pretty sure Niesen has a much better arm than Tebow.

Poll: How long is Sandy's leash?
We're entering Year Two of Sandy Alderson & Co. and with the Wilpons finances and the bevy of talent in the NL East, I'm wondering how long Mets fans will (have to) wait to see a competitive team on the field.
Obviously, this year and next year, he gets a bit of a pass. Coming to a new team and turning it into your team is no easy task. Sandy is around for two more years, with an option for 2015. Is 2014 the year you expect him to produce something good? Do you expect an extension, possibly without a playoff appearance? If you had to put money on a sports betting website, what year would be the best?
When will he put a competitive team on the field? (Competitive meaning - in this context - they can make the playoffs and challenge for the World Series.)
Vote below, and leave your thoughts in the comments...

On Dickey to Kilimanjaro: I'm with the Mets
A lot of hubbub was made yesterday about the Mets trying to put a stop to R.A. Dickey's trek to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro for charity.
Usually, the teams makes silly or stupid decisions regarding things like this, and though an unpopular move, I'm with them on this one.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is not a walk in the park. He's not cycling around Central Park for charity, running in a 5K or going door-to-door selling cookies (thought the Mets may need to resort to that to pay some bills). He's climbing a freaking mountain - and it's not just any mountain - it's the highest mountain in Africa.
Would you want your second best pitcher (or best pitcher, if you like) climbing a 19,000 foot mountain? Heck, you're all Mets fans - do you want him doing it? Would you want to do it?
A lot can go wrong up there. It's dangerous, cold, dangerous, windy, dangerous, a volcano and very, very dangerous. You'd never catch me up there.
Dickey, though, seems adamant that he will be making the trek no matter what. So, the most the Mets and fans can do is wish him well and hope he stays safe.
Good luck. Godspeed. Please don't die.
