It’s that time of year again where we take a look at the annual Mets Turkeys.
I’m trying to reduce my overall douchebagginess and considered not doing Turkeys this year, but I took it to twitter who reminded me there were some no-brainers. So let’s see if I can get through this without being a jerk and dusting off my favorite cowboy picture.
Collector’s Cup Giveaway. I think this picture sums it up.
Murphy’s Law. This got fixed fortunately and some #imwith28 action returned to the scoreboards.
#VoteMarkakis but man did I get hours of laughter out of this one.
Boiler Company Sponsorship. Perhaps WOR’s copywriters will be able to type the sentence “…proudly sponsors the Bob Murphy radio booth.” See sign on door for reference.
JV1. Suspended. Generally weird Instagram. Started at second base eight times.
Ice Cream Giveaway. Free ice cream is good. Free ice cream after the game on your way home is a turkey.
$63 Opening Day Tickets. Sure they “sold out” but it was offensive to my soul.
That’s enough for now. What did I forget?
You forgot the biggest Mets Turkey of them all:
“The Plan.”
No Wilpons? What, you turn into Cerrone all of a sudden?
I decided to keep it “fun”
Wilpon, Wilpon, Katz.
Alderson probably has earned the title as well. At a certain point, you need to take a stand and stop selling the company line.
I also nominate myself, for continuing to care when ownership and management clearly don’t.
