Oh man. Remember back in high school when you didn’t know how to talk to girls?
At the Mets holiday party (lots of posts and video coming up as soon as @mediagoon gets home) the Mets made Sandy, Turner, Niese and Murphy available.
The rest of the gang were all asking real questions so I hung back as I tend to do and tweeted some pics.
When Murphy wrapped one of my friends in media relations decided to hook me up and intro’d me to Murph as one of his biggest fans.
That’s awesome if you’re 12 but as a grown man I froze. I babbled something about twitter and then had nothing. You guys should totally beat me up after school. Awful. Embarrassing.
Probably should have used my “twitter rap” on Turner who might have said “I know you.”
This was as awful as the time we tried to pick up girls while wearing green Mets caps. In Baltimore.
Ugh so embarrassing. More to come!
Goon here: I witnessed this moment. I was shooting film of Niese while Shannon was talking to #IMwith28. Knowing Shannon for as long as I do, I have rarely ever seen him speechless, and to hear the whole quick meeting go down made me laugh. So I apologize now for any movement in the Niese video. Thanks for the folks in media relations for making my day with that.
