In the movie Major League, team owner Rachel Phelps, in an effort to cause the Indians to play worse, starts removing the amenities that big leaguers are used to; I wonder if the Wilpons are doing something similar with the Mets. Either that, or they lost a whole lot more money than they are admitting to Madoff, because the Mets rolled into Pittsburgh last night and arrived at their hotel, they found out that Anthrocon 2009 was ALSO being held there. Anthrocon, being, obviously, the big convention for furry fetishists.
Kevin Burkhardt of SNY, delightful scamp that he is tweeted about it when they arrived at the hotel, and managed to post an incredible picture of “a person who was dressed like Ralph Wigam as a Beaver.”
Look for the Pirates to sweep the Mets now…

Maybe the Wilpons are believers of the theory that baseball players play better if they haven’t gotten laid the night before a game . . . Booking the team into a hotel filled with Furries (as opposed to hot groupies) might be just the ticket to getting the Mets to actually win a game or two.

He’s a cat, was he sitting in your lap in that picture? being you openly admitted to going to what you believe to have been a fetish convention.
