SNY Linear TV chose not to air this live. I am uneducated in how such things work, but people keep whispering in my ear that it’s some sort of workaround to not use union workers. If anyone knows more I’d like to know more about that, or if its even accurate.
Anyway, “Get your New York Sports Here Unless We’re Showing An Old Mets Game” is their new slogan I think.
Wags came out and explained to us how this time he has chosen the right manager. He credited the Mets “Baseball Operations Department” (of which Baseball Operations Expert Jessica Mendoza would be part of) in helping make the choice.
Wags said the team is built to win “right now.” “We have culture of positivity.”
Wags then pimped Fanfest, then humble bragged about the awards JDG and Vulgar Pete won. He used the word PROUD a bunch of times. Like proudly a lot.
Rojas was introduced and the very professional crowd was restrained. It sounded like 4 people clapping.
God the swoosh looks bad.
Luis told us, in a very very calm deadpan tone, how excited he was, lower case e.
He then pronounced Wilpon as “Wilpin” twice.
“I will lead this team into success.”
I personally found his speech boring and zoned out but can appreciate a man thanking his family.
Luis used the word “accountability” both with the fans and press.
Wags did not mention whether or not Luis is trustworthy. I assume he is
The first question when to Gelbzzzz who basically asked “How did it feel…”
