Oh my oh my oh my I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. Â Under my “honor among bloggers” code it would not be right to post the picture here, but go check out THIS new picture of Mettle the Mule and then come back.
Ok, you’re back. Â OH MY GOODNESS. Â I knew about the Mule but how stupid does that look when you actually see it? Â I followed the Mets back then, I don’t really remember the mule. Â I do remember being bothered when Mr. Met Prime disappeared for several years.
Here’s the best part: I WANT THEM TO BRING THE MULE BACK!
I mean, what could possibly happen? Â Would people make fun of the Mets? Â Why stop now?
Actually, in politics they talk about changing the story. Â Let everyone focus on the mule. Â Let them make fun of the mule. Â Distract the dopey fat blogger with the mule. Â If we’re making mule jokes we aren’t talking about Madoff or the lack of starting pitching or collapses. Â Get the mule, change the story. Â So Francesca makes fun. Â Who cares?
Get a mule, trot it out there before games and stick it in a petting zoo over by the dunk tank and the batting cage stuff in center. Â How awesome would the mule be?
You ever take a kid to a game? Â In the 4th inning “let’s go see the mule” is a great way to avoid being nagged “can we leave now?” during the 7th…and 8th….and 9th.
I’m so excited at this pic.
In the annals of Met-dom, this is a picture and a chapter most Metsie fans would like to forget. It was said that the one who hated the mule the most was the legendary groundskeeper Pete Flynn, who had to clean up after the animal.
