Read: Delgado, Chris Russo and Goatees
Joe M sent in the following e-mail, which read:
“I have a suggestion that I believe will resolve the issues Carlos Delgado is having at the plate this year. He needs to stop dyeing his goatee. When a man
starts to do silly things to appear younger, it gets in his head and the negative effects may surface in many ways. Either let the facial hair come in gray, or better yet, shave it off completely. Santana has the best-looking goatee on the team anyway, so its not doing him any good.”
…i want to believe this guy is joking, and i suspect that he is…i mean, i hope that he is…either way, this is one of the more funny e-mails i have been sent, amidst a deep sea of anger and negativity…thank you, joe, for the laugh…
…what’s not at all funny is the following:
Yesterday, during his Mike and the Maddog show on WFAN, host Chris Russo talked about how the Mets have no possible way of dealing with Delgado’s slump, adding:
“There’s not a solution in sight first half of the season … Maybe there is in July, maybe in July they can get a first baseman, they could kill him, they could bench him, they can do a million things then.”
…thanks to Peter Wade at Hot Foot for the quote…
…ummm, kill him, chris…is that necessary…good thing there is a Mets voice on that show to help balance him, oh, wait, that’s right, there isn’t…oh well…
