A Metsmas Carol.
Wilpon: You’ll want power hitting outfielder, I suppose.
Mets Fan: If quite convenient, sir.
Wilpon: It’s not convenient. And it’s not fair! If I raised ticket prices for it, you’d think yourself ill used, wouldn’t you? But you don’t think me ill used if I pay for a power hitter out of my pocket, hmm?
Mets Fan: ‘Tis only once a year, sir.
Wilpon: That’s a poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every off season.
Mets Fan : Yes, sir. I’m sure I’m very sorry, sir, to cause you such an inconvenience. It’s #metstwitter more than me, sir. They put their hearts into the team as it were, sir.
Wilpon: Yes, and put their hands into my pockets as it were, sir. I suppose you’d better have an avg player or two but be back next summer.
Mets Fan: I will indeed, sir. Thank you, sir! It’s more than generous of you, sir.
Wilson : Yes, I know it is, you don’t have to tell me.
