08:14 AM ET 02.23 | There is time, and there is manager time. Ruben Tejada is the latest Mets infielder who evidently doesn't understand the difference between on-time and Terry Standard Time. Though the Mets shortstop won't technically be late in reporting to camp if he arrives Saturday as scheduled, manager Terry Collins is agitated Tejada hasn't gotten an early jump on mastering his new job, replacing Jose Reyes. "A lot of it is just selfishness on my part," Collins said yesterday. "I take great pride in the game itself and respecting the game. I wish everybody had the same respect for it where they wanted to get started as early as possible." Tejada remains in his native Panama, because he was late in making an appointment to receive his visa.

Bet the player's union is going to send somebody to talk to Terry.
I've had bosses like that, too (not now, luckily).

I guess Tejada figures that Reyes is gone so he has no competition for the job.

It's all horsecrap....he was supposed to pick up his travel visa on Tuesday and it turned out to be a national holiday (Carnival/Shrove Tuesday)...so he couldn't book a travel date until Wednesday which is Friday..so instead of arriving Thursday he'll be in Florida on Friday...which by the way is still earlier than his actual report date which is Sunday....so let me ask what the **** is the big deal.....
