Mets Hire Philadelphia Tazing Cop As "Injury Motivator"

When Omar Minaya saw the footage of a Philadelphia police officer tazing a rowdy fan on Monday night, he knew what his next move was going to be immediately.  Minaya quickly got on the phone and contacted the Philadelphia police department to inquire about the officers availability.

The plan?  Minaya feels that this man and his "Tazer of Justice" could be just the motivational tool needed to speed up the convalescence of injured Mets players, in particularly, Carlos Beltran.

"We need guys like Murphy and Beltran back with the big club and we think this guy can help us get there sooner with his unique motivational approach.", Minaya told the Apple via cell phone last night.  "This guy can beat you in so many ways.  I mean literally beat you.  He has sticks, guns, pepper spray and of course, that wonderful tazer."

Beltran could not be reached for comment but according to Minaya, the Mets expect him to begin working with the officer later this week.  In a possibly unrelated note, Mike Pelfrey released a statement today saying he feels much better.
