For what is worth, nothing helped Collins as much as being followed by that wooden surly baboon. By the way this isn't the right read on this at all. Callaway was Sandy's guy, and firing Terry was Sandy's idea. Hiring Terry back as an advisor-- along with letting Riccardo walk and getting Omar back, was part of Fred's revenge for having gotten Mickey. Forcing Sandy out and leaving Mickey to twist in the wind was the second part. This is why Terry is vamoosing now. Fred loved nothing more than sucking up to "white-haired baseball men" because he believed he was one of them. He's surely would have been a sucker for Terry's saltiness and Michigan bloodlines. I found the thread. If Mickey really was Sandy's guy, then Sandy might have some explaining to do. I don't know how much he knew, but this is strike two. (Or strike one depending on how you count).
