Because the Mets aren’t enough of a PR disaster between playing terribly, constantly being injured and marching out a spring training roster day in and day out, their VP of player development decided to scare the living bejesus out of their AA affiliate Binghamton Mets by challenging the team to a fight. JC McGee, why isn’t he playing for the Mets right now? He seems to have more passion than anyone on the team and in the spirit of the 1986 Mets obviously a fan of illegal drugs and alcohol.
According to reports Tony Bernazard decided to motivate the lowly AA team by ripping of his shirt and asking if any of them wanted a piece of him. I guess the kids were too busy laughing hysterically to take him up on the challenge.
At the time, Binghamton was in last place with a 31-58 record and had won just 1 game in July. Allegations of underage drinking were also rampant, possibly leading to Bernazard’s bizarre outburst. Please, underage drinking is like a right of passage, especially considering you’re playing for the Mets and their farm system is in the toilet (despite whatever Omar Minaya was saying during Tuesday’s broadcast.)
Benazard has displayed some weird behavior, Incredible Hulk imitation aside. Earlier this season, he unleashed a profanity laced tirade on an Arizona Diamondbacks scout who dared to sit in a seat behind homeplate during a game at Citi Field.
So let’s see, what do you think the over/under is on the number of days it will take before he checks into the psychiatric ward with Mischa Barton?
