Carter, the genetic result of a government experiment that ran out of funding in the mid-90's, has some strange behaviors. His unusual DNA can lead to a few quirks which play well for the camera such as his constant fidgeting and inability to sit down. While these seem harmless, there are deeper issues at play that not everyone is aware of.
"This guy is not 'The Animal' like they say. This guy is an actual animal.", said Mets catcher Josh Thole when he was sure Carter could not hear. "Since he got here, he's been lashing out and trying to show dominance. On Tuesday, Takahashi's interpreter asked him for the time. Chris bit him."
Besides the biting, there has been the issue of Carter "marking his territory" all over the clubhouse. "He did that all over the bullpen.", said Mets pitcher Jon Neise. "I mean, why does he even need to go to the bullpen. It stinks to high heaven in there."
In just a couple of days with the club, Carter has reportedly "marked" the locker room, dugout, bullpen, home plate, Shake Shack & Jay Horowitz's office.
The Mets seem willing to put up with his antics but yesterday Carter may have crossed a line. During BP a squirrel was darting around the outfield. Carter chased it down and took a bite out of it right in front of a group of horrified fans. Omar Minaya was set to discipline Carter for the act but chickened out when The Animal growled at him.
Despite this, Jerry Manuel is not concerned. Manuel told The Apple that the trick was to speak to Chris in a firm tone and use a rolled up newspaper when necessary.
The team travels to Florida today. Carter was reportedly shipped in a large crate.
