From the above picture, it’s clear that Ambiorix Burgos is NOT a member of the New York Mets but the Chicago White Sox. Whew! that was a close one … the Wilpons should be relieved that Burgos was traded to the Palehose prior to his running and killing two innocent women in his Hummer. What a public relations nightmare THAT would have been!
Oh wait … Ambiorix Burgos is still listed on the Mets’ 40-man roster. Huh. Guess Jay Horwitz has some damage control after all.
So from this picture I see one incredibly disturbing, and three baffling things, in that order:
1. Burgos is smiling. To get caught on camera smiling when you’re being arrested for the murder of two innocent people is NOT good.
2. Why is he wearing a White Sox cap? (Though, thanks for distancing yourself from the Mets, Amby!)
3. Can the Mets give Ramon Castro a raise so he doesn’t have to work as a cop in the offseason?
4. Who is the midget grabbing Amby’s right elbow?
This must be the brand Wilpon is so proud of putting out on the field! Are those the Mets’ new road jerseys? Mr. Met you’re history – – new stadium, new mascot – – why not a duck? Next, the “brand” new Mets will be holding up their uniform pants with hip-hop SOX belt buckles which will be made available on the team’s website.
