Around 30 crazed Mets fans, dubbed “The Million Manny March”, took to SNY studios last night with dread wigs and posterboards from Duane Reade DEMANDING that the Mets sign free agent LF Manny Ramirez to a contract ASAP.
One adept sign maker even laid out their plan with a simple mathematical equation:
New York Mets + Manny Ramirez = World Series
Laugh all you want, but it’s really hard to argue with that logic.
Here is an eyewitness account, courtesy of the Mets blog Priced Out of the Citi (via Big League Stew):
The crowd was a bit smaller than expected (approximately 30 people), but boisterous nevertheless. Chants of “We want Manny!” were screamed throughout the show – with one fan even doing so through a megaphone. Signs plastered the glass of the studio with images of the 36 year old right-hander.
The leader of the pack, and focus of SNY’s outdoor coverage, even had a customized Mets Ramirez jersey. When asked where he got it, he said his mother got it for him. “She’s an even bigger Manny fan than I am!”
I’m proud to say — as a Phillies fan — that not once during our 25-year Championship drought did we ever stage such a pathetic, meaningless rally. Well, except for that time in July of ‘95 when me and four buddies stood in the Vet parking lot begging Randy Ready to come back and play one more year.
But in our defense, we were extremely high.
For those not down with Canadian sketch comedy, here’s the headline reference.

Mets fans + markers and poster board = epic douche craft fail

ahaha tard
Here’s a math question for you:
How many Met’s fans does it take to get the front office to sign Manny Ramirez?
Who knows!? only 30 douches showed up.
Mets + Manny Ramirez = Still choking in the fall, and now broke

Before I go and say how lame this attempt was, I gotta say that if the Mets get Manny, they have become a legit threat.
With that out of the way…
The dude in the custom Manny jersey only got it because his mom likes to imagine it is the real Manny when they spoon and this made it a little more authentic.

Mama Cass was a Mets fan. Man-Ram can’t save you. Not even Dr. Henry Jay Heimlich himself could save your sorry franchise.
The Phillies, on the other hand, turn into Linda Lovelace every September…relaxed throat muscles and a dead gag reflex = 13-3 finish, baby. World F____Champs.

Is that a Kids in the Hall reference, Meech? I just hope that guy didn’t drop $200 on a Manny Mets jersey like it appears he did.

Did they even do a headcount? It looks like 15 people, and I’m sure most were bystanders.

A Manny Ramirez Jersey? Tell me you didn’t pay money for this.
