David Wright Foam Finger Night Tonight, Foam Dickey Night Wisely Canceled

Tonight at Citi Field the Mets will be giving out David Wright foam fingers to encourage fans to vote Wright into the All-Star game and simultaneously poke a little fun at pop singer Lady Gaga who is currently on a nationwide stadium tour of foolishness.

What few fans realize however is that under an original plan from the Mets marketing department, Thursday night was scheduled to be foam dickey night in honor of R.A. Dickey. The promotion called for fans to receive a giant foam hand gripping a knuckleball that said "Dickey" but unfortunately due to a communications error, the Chinese factory sent 20,000 foam penises that said "Knuckleball".  The Mets wisely have canceled the promotion.

Vuvuzela night is still scheduled for this Friday.

Dear Readers,

If I may step out of character for a moment, I would like to congratulate the Mets for having a sense of humor.  Lady Gaga likes to make a joke out of her self and the Mets have treated the "incident" as such.  The whole "Go Gaga For Wright" and "Use The Wright Finger" campaign is refreshingly creative by the Mets.  I know a lot of you find it hokey but I for one am glad to see it.

Thanks for reading,
Randy "The Apple" Medina
