Poor Jay Horwitz. After the Mets’ 7-6, 12-inning win over Florida on Wednesday, and with the Amazin’s 2-0 since his fashion statement, it looks like the PR maven is going to be stuck wearing that pimp-like orange jacket until they lose again.

Tuesday ace Johan Santana wouldn’t pitch unless he wore the hideous outfit once worn by Jeromy Burnitz and made famous by Pedro Martinez.

After that win — breaking a slump in which they’d lost seven of eight — Santana said: “You know what’s funny? It fits him perfectly. I didn’t know it was going to be that way. You know, we tried to get something going. We talked earlier, before the game to have better luck, and he put it on.

“Come on, he looks good!’’

Well, I wouldn’t go that far. At first I thought Tennessee hoops coach Bruce Pearl; but tonight reliever Scott Schoenweis went retro and said former Princeton coach Pete Carril. I’m seeing that, too.

Tuesday, Willie Randolph said Horwitz looked like a pimp, and come to think of it, he does kinda look like a guy Elliot Spitzer ought to have in his BlackBerry. And after Wednesday’s marathon win, Randolph is definitely feelin’ the magic jacket.

“As long as he doesn’t drool on it and mess it up, we’ll be alright,’’ Randolph said with a laugh, adding “I love you, Jay; you know that. Hey, I’ll wear it if it keeps giving us wins.’’
