Note: Mets, Best Person in the World
Tonight on Countdown, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann listed the Mets as his Third Best Person of the Day for what he described as, “The best ironic baseball promotion, adding…
“This afternoon, they already lost two runs on base running blunders. Then, in the bottom of the ninth losing 1–0 to Washington, and Carlos Beltran at third base with one out, instead of playing it safe he broke to the plate just as Carlos Delgado lined in to an easy double play to end the game and it was all Beltran’s fault. After the game, the Mets let all senior citizens in attendance come on to the field to walk around the bases – and Beltran came out of the dugout and got doubled off again. Alright, I made that last part up. None of the senior citizens had the kind of trouble on the bases that the Mets runners did.”
…great, they’re being mocked on national television…lovely…
