“…Come and talk to us. We’re from a different country.”
I wouldn’t put it past the Blue Jays to use a Zaphod Beeblebrox pickup line on the Mets faithful. It occurred to me that, intentionally or not, they’re doing a lot to ensure that the interest of Mets fans ends up directed north of the border. Think about it…
They’ve got the guy who rose to stardom, became a fan favorite and won a Cy Young with the Mets…
They’ve got the guy who was an 4-time All-Star and also a favorite of many Mets fans…
They’ve got the Mets’ 2012 starting catcher…
…and one of his backups…
Their new AAA affiliate is the Buffalo Bisons, the Mets top farm team for the past 4 years…
Heck, even their manager is a former Met.
Their filthy Canadian schemes won’t work on me, though… Not as long as I’m also an Orioles fan.
Well, OK, maybe I’ll root for the Blue Jays, perhaps they can win the Wild Card while the O’s win the division. But no matter who the Jays acquire, I’m never calling their home ballpark anything but the SkyDome.
