Metsmas Carol: OF Edition

A Metsmas Carol.

Scrooge

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.

Trade: Niese for Walker


Looks like the #imwith28 era is officially over. Mets are sending Niese to the Pirates for Neil Walker. Man, I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of TWD jokes coming from Shannon this season. I was/am a Murphy fan and hopefully Walker is one of the pieces that helps the Mets get back to the World Series. I don’t mind losing Murphy, just don’t sign Cespedes. I really don’t like that guy.
 
 Shannon your fave player has just been taken out by a Walker. Carrrrrllll get back in the house, Caaarrlll.
 
 “Hey, you know we need a Walker for old man Cuddyer!” ” “I’m on it. Hello Pittsburgh?”
