Furries and Potato Chips

The Mets are a joke.


I have said that before in this space and I'll continue to say it.


They are never going to be a legit, big boy team until they stop doing things like these:


Earlier this month the Mets were on the road and in the same hotel as a "Furry" convention. For the uneducated, "furries" are people who dress up as animals, often for sexual pleasure.




Now, it's not the team's fault that this convention just happened to be held at their hotel. But it is the team's fault for not staying in a hotel that people who get their kicks dressing up as animals cannot afford.


Then yesterday happened.





Economic times are bad and just like every team the Mets need to put butts in the seats. So how do they try to do this?
Unlike a big boy team, which would try to put a better product on the field and win, or offer cheaper tickets, the Mets needed a gimmick.

They decided to try to break the record for most people chewing potato chips in one place at one time.

Bastards.

That is such a bush league promotion. I would expect this out of the Poughkipsee Mudcrawlers.

I swear, I think the Mets are only about three weeks away from Roger Dorn buying the team and then activating himself.
