Thanks to Steve D for the heads up.
Before:
Wow, doesn’t he look like some jerkbag jock who is out to steal Lady Met like some sort of Happy Days plot? (Oh I forgot, most of you are 25. Happy Days was a television show when Lee Mazzilli was on the Mets. It was cool. In a Fonz sort of way. The Fonz was a guy in a leather jacket, not an infielder. I digress.)
Anyway, the Reds say: The new Mr. Red mascot is being unveiled for the first time on Friday night! Mr. Red will be around throughout Redsfest to take pictures with fans.
…
This is where some of you will ask me to get on the Mets to have Metsfest. We’re all still drinking wine at the VB After-party so I don’t feel like fighting right now. In time. If you’re curious about Redsfest here’s the details.
Oh OK – here’s the road to Metsfest.
1. MLB admits Mets are hosting the 2013 ASG
2. All Star Fan Fest is at Javitz and Mets are host team.
3. I write 5000 columns about how great it was and how the Mets should do something similar and borrow from the All Star version, maybe do it smaller. By then the young pitching will arrive and the frontr…I mean fans who are not buying tickets to protest the Wilpons will no longer care about the Wilpons because of the 96 wins…everyone will be feeling great and we can have Metsfest 2014. See you there.
If the Mets could afford it, they could arrange for something happens to Mr. Red before Friday night. And if any cops come asking, I was talking about Mr. Ed.
A reminder that some to you first-time-using-Disqus’ers, I can “whitelist” you so you won’t have to deal with logging in. I’ve done that for most of the regulars.
Regarding the 2013 All Star Game/Fanfest/Young Arms/96 Wins… one can only hope. LGM!! Not to mention the Blue Alternate replacing the Black Alternate… Will 2013 be the last year of The Mets Police?
…I think not, there’s always something to Police on the Mets. Go get ’em.
Baseball headed creatures have really evolved since the turn of the century.
