... ), but Hansen supposedly roughhoused the New York mascot . And when approached by stadium security, Hansen allegedly swung his fist and missed like he was James Shields, but managed to spit in the guy’s face instead. Who would do such a thing? Doesn’t this man know that Mr. Met has a family to take care of? * And by “allegedly”, I mean, he probably did it.

Chris Hansen manhandles Mr. Met (seriously)
The Sports Hernia Blog —
... Following a recent Mets game at Shea Stadium, Christian Hansen of Gowanus, Brooklyn was seen roughing up the team's popular mascot , Mr. Met.

Sources say Hansen was trying to entrap Mr. Met with sweet tea and a dip in ...

... and all, this is pretty weak pudding. The tone of the beat reporters and blogs suggests that everyone is settling for Manuel because he's a nice guy, because he says fun things in post game, because its the path of least resistance, and because they have no imagination. Even now that Jerry seems to be demanding more than 2 year contract (!!), no one has soured on rehiring a symbol of the continuation of Willie Randolph regime. Is Jerry the worst possible choice? Am I going to attack Mr Met over this? No, this may turn out fine somehow. But it might be a grievous error. In ...
