Here's Phil Mushnick's two cents:



Mets tap 50 Cent for postgame concert

By Phil Mushnick
December 21, 2013 | 7:05pm

Does Nike make straitjackets in men�s XL? Either I�ve gone nuts or these voices in my head are starting to mess with me.

Being financially partnered with Ponzi legend Bernie Madoff, 1-800 flower-power ad-scam king Jim McCann, the fined folks at Amway, and manipulative hedge-hog Steve Cohen isn�t sleazy enough for the Mets.

Now they�ve proudly announced they�re bringing in Denizen of the Dumpster thug 50 Cent to entertain a family crowd � the Manson Family? � after a late Saturday afternoon game in June.

Buyer beware. At least when the Nets ran a �Guns For Tickets� promotion they requested the owners first empty the clips � that slug in the chamber, too.

50 Cent � that�s �Mr. Cent� to the New York Times � puts the rap sheet in rap. And what he raps for a living is beyond both the pale and the pail. As the Mets� first manager, Casey Stengel, urged, �You can look it up.�

It doesn�t matter that Cent was arrested, again � then copped a plea to avoid another felony � just this year, this time for assaulting the mother of one of his children. Nope, the Mets are pitching this warm, cuddly angle: The Mets and Fiddy are homeboys, both from Queens!

Hey, so is the Queensboro Correctional Facility! Why don�t the Mets send over a few buses, fill them with inmates and take them out to the ball game � perhaps Banner Day. Maybe that�s why the cons on the top floors have been secretly collecting bed sheets.

Perhaps, too, the Mets can conduct a rap-along � follow the bouncing stray bullet! � posting Fiddy�s lyrics on the big scoreboard.

Do the Mets know � or even care � that a 2009 50 Cent performance in Queens was cancelled as per directives from the offices of Mayor Bloomberg and Gov. Paterson because of safety (er, ah, life and death) concerns? Seems Fiddy�s preoccupation with guns and violence tend to attract those similarly preoccupied.

But the Mets will host a 50 Cent concert after a late afternoon game this June. Brilliant. Hey, it was that or the Girls Gone Wild Twerk-a-Thon from the Pepsi Porch.

Where is the Commissioner of Baseball, Bud Selig, on this? Oh, never mind. �The King was in his counting house, counting out the money ��

Won't somebody please think of the children who will be sticking around for a 10:30 pm concert on a Friday night?

I mean, it's Mushnick, man. Consider the source. And then, make a fart noise with your mouth, because that's the sort of rebuttal this source usually merits.

I wonder if Bush and Clinton make fun of Christie and Obama for this?

Mushnick can be an impossible old fart, but that Marchman thing last week was the smuggest shit I've ever seen. Mushnick at least is subject to some interpretation of his intentional dickishness.

Nobody came off smelling like a winner there.

"I'M AN OLD WHITE MAN AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS RAP MUSIC. WHY CAN'T STEVE AND EYDIE PLAY A POST-GAME CONCERT? NOW THAT'S REAL MUSIC."
