Maybe what the Mets need to do is bring in someone from outside the organization.
This move has worked in the past. Keith Hernandez taught us how to win. Tom Glavine was a True Met even if he was a little disappointed in the end. Many of you worship at the altar of Famous Dodger and Donald Trump supporter Mike Piazza (zero rings btw), and who can forget the time Willie Randolph brought a new culture to the Mets?
The Phanatic is always entertaining, and who wouldn’t love to see him blow his tongue at Gelbs after a “how did it feel” question.
It will be a little weird at first, but I am sure by the ten game winning streak in mid-April everyone will be buying Amazin’ Phanatic t-shirts and canceling their comedy tours.
The only issue…I don’t think Phanatic wants to leave Philadelphia. It’s a shame because he’s probably the best candidate for the LOLMets.
Will the Phanatic manage the Mets? No.
