I don't know if you've seen Goergi Vodka they advertise on trucks featuring murals of bikini bottoms, and their product is strictly bottom shelf for heavy drinkers on a budget, and this is a transparent advertising stunt, but still:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 30, 2018 MEDIA CONTACT: Barbara Mannellino, (631) 374-7181 Office of Chief Executive Officer Martin Silver Star Industries, Inc. Syosset, New York OWNER OF NY-BASED GEORGI VODKA OFFERS TO BUY THE METS… AGAIN Owner of New York’s Number One Selling Vodka Hopes To Buy the Struggling Mets SYOSSET, NEW YORK (July 30, 2018) – Owner of New York’s top-selling Vodka, Georgi Vodka, has announced his intention to buy the New York Mets. Martin Silver is resurrecting his offer, with a group of investors, to buy a percentage of ball club after it was recently announced that the organization would be put up for sale. Silver, a lifelong Mets fan and season ticket holder, believes that he could help revive the Mets, restore team morale, and give them a jumpstart. Using the successful business model of New York’s top-selling Georgi Vodka, he believes he could show the Mets the way to “Number 1.” The Mets have ranked among the worst teams in the National League and are ranked 25th according to recent Power Rankings, with a current losing-record of 44-59. Georgi Vodka celebrates 2018 as the 50th Anniversary of Georgi Vodka as a leader in the wine and spirit market. Syosset-based Star Industries, was founded in 1934 by securing one of New York State’s first liquor licenses following prohibition. ###

I called to ask for comment. A guy answered, "hello?" and I said, "oh, I may
have misdialed I was looking for Barbara." I chickened out and hung up when
he asked who was calling.

[Edgy MD]

He must get a lot of calls for Barbara.

I'd sell the team to the Russians in a heartbeat. Vladimir Putin wouldn't put up with this shit.

Blow a save and you'll end up with polonium in your water bottle.

I'd certainly be chuffed if Yakov Smirnoff bought in.

You know, the stupid things you remember. I remember thinking his joke -- "In Russia, we have saying: 'women are like buses...' and that's it" -- was HILARIOUS as a kid.

[Centerfield]

I think this is a great idea.

I look forward to the new ads with "Mets" written across women's butts.

And then the Mets would be moved to Branson, MO.

In America, pitcher who give up runs is sent to showers. In Russia, pitcher who give up runs is sent to Siberia.

In America, one day you face Cubs, and then you face the Reds. A few days later, maybe you face Braves or Cubs again! In Russia, you always face Reds!

In America, relief pitcher take little car from bullpen to mound. In Russia, little car take relief pitcher from mound to Siberia.

In America, you hear 'hot dog!' at ballgame and you decide you want one. In Russia, you hear cold dog coming after you in Siberia and he decide he want you.

In America, deGrom pitch very well, get no run support. In Russia, nobody get anything for anything.

In America, you get suspended if you take the drugs. In Russia, is, how you say? REQUIREMENT!

In Russia, President requires all athletes pay honor to Mother Russia. In America, President pay honor to Mother Russia!

Edgy MD Jul 30 2018 08:39 PM Re: BUY THE TEAM!!!!!!

In America, best arm belong to Vladimir Guerrero. In Russia, best arm belong to Vladimir Lenin. Because anybody who threw harder, he went to Siberia!

If Baby Boy Jeffy is ever forced by Manfred to sell once Daddy dies, Stuart Sternberg is going to be the guy.

In America, mound visits mean stalling for time. In Russia, mound visits mean Time for Stalin!
