eMailbag: We needed Giuseppe Franco
Lawrence P sent in the following e-mail, which made me laugh:
“Every one is looking for a jinx and a scapegoat and I think I found it.
“On August 7, Giuseppe Franco took batting practice at Shea Stadium. The team went 27–10 in their next 37 games. On September 13, Franco’s fan-favorite Precede ad stopped airing on SNY, and the team went 7–10 in their final 17 games.”
…so there you have it, folks, SNY, your local cable provider and Procede are responsible for the Mets not making the playoffs, because franco was removed from the air…
