Annoying announcer: Omar Minaya, you’ve just been given a four year contract extension as the GM of the New York Mets. What are you going to do now?
Omar Minaya: Get rid of Ambiorix Burgos!
Director: Cut! Minaya, you’re supposed to say that you’re going to Disney World
OM: I know, but this guy was just accused of hit-and-run in the Dominican Republic.
D: I know, but this is supposed to be a light and fluffy commercial.
OM: I get that, but this guy allegedly killed two women. Add to that his assault case which is still pending in the US and that elbow surgery and there’s no reason to keep him around.
D: Seriously, you should save that kind of doom and gloom for you’re Coney Island commercial. “Remember the old Coney Island of your youth? The rides, the small businesses, Nathans? Well Nathans is still here, but everything else has been torn down to make way for big business and expensive high rises. We’ve gotten rid of the little people so you don’t have to be bothered by them.”
OM: Or when I blow up Shea.
AA: Aren’t they disassembling Shea, not blowing it up?
D: No, they did that last Sunday when they lost to the Marlins…again.
AA: Oh, that’s right.
OM: Don’t remind me.
D: So can we do this again?
OM: Sure, after I get rid of Burgos. I don’t want to have to deal with any more possible felons. We have enough problems when we try to bring back the ’86 team for special events.
