In a riff where he compares the current Mets manager, Jerry Manuel, with the 1962 manager -- the legendary Casey Stengel, he gets the "that guy" issue wrong.
According to Madden:
This seemed especially so on Monday in the aftermath of the Mets' five-error "retro '62" performance against the San Francisco Giants in which Church missed third base, a la Marvelous Marv Throneberry, as he was heading home with the go-ahead run and Manuel referred to him as "that guy" adding: "That's unbelievable. I can't explain why, how or anything."
According to someone who listened to a recording it appears that Madden misquoted Manuel who actually said "a guy." That's a significant difference.
Don't hold your breath for a correction.
