How Will The Mets Pay For Alex Cora And Chris Coste?

by James Kannengieser on Nov 30, 2009 10:00 PM EST

Normally I wouldn't post something like this, seeing as this isn't Amazin' Avenue LiveJournal, but it's too hard to resist. A special guest unexpectedly appeared this past weekend at my sister's wedding:

That's me on the left, you-know-who on the right.

Mr. Met was quite the dancer. He entered to "Centerfield" by John Fogerty and hung around long enough to take photos with almost every guest, 80-85% of whom are Mets fans.

My sister booked him for the wedding way back in March and somehow managed to keep it a secret from everyone until her big day. Apparently the appearance fee was large enough to spur today's Alex Cora/Chris Coste spending spree. Book him for your next event and maybe we'll see Matt Holliday signed by New Year's.

It was a natural move for him

He’s already used to doing funerals.

This is basically a dream of mine.

Mr. Met should attend all of my life’s significant events.

Well done by your sister, James.

Damn...Makes me want to get married, just in invite Mr. Met. My girlfriend has an unnatrual obsession with Mr. Met, so it'd all work out.

I didn’t say it was a good joke, just that it was a dirty one

It's only 8 1/2 years before my son's Bar Mitzvah

Better reserve Mr. Met now.

Wait

Yankees fans were invited? Were they required to sit in seperate section?

by Mount17 on Nov 30, 2009 11:37 PM EST reply actions

The remaining 15-20% of the invitees were die-hard Long Island Ducks fans

So no Yankee fans

Your brother in law is a lucky dude.

That’s awesome.

Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

Awesome

I’ve wanted Mr. Met to be at my wedding for years, but my girlfriend and her family are big-time Yankees fans (I know, I know – I like destructive relationships, what can I say) – if things work out I may have to settle for having him come to the bachelor party
