Nice dugout shot by the SNY cameras. JV1 joking about his bizarre throwing error, while Quintanilla and Buck stare at him blank-faced. #Mets

All-in-all, not a horrible day for Niese. Pitch count was too high too early. Now its on to the bullpen, or whatever you call it. #Mets
— Michael Baron (@michaelgbaron) June 15, 2013
I'm unhappy when I see Terry Collins, too.
