PVBL: Binghampton Mets
Mets Prepare for Opening Day

April 6, 1998

As the Binghamton Mets prepare for opening day, trade rumors have clouded the team.

In order to calm the Binghamton Mets faithful, Owner Jason Garnar held a press conference: The following are a few excerpts from it.

On the trade rumors: "Dammit people, everyone talks trade sometime. Hell, I'd even trade my daughter if I could get a good deal for her"

On who might be on the trading block: "I'm not telling you who we got on the trading block, but I will say who's safe from getting their asses traded. That would be my big three(Radke, Rodriguez, and Ashby) and the BIG GUY(Jim Thome). Everyone else is considered trade bait."

On Chilli Davis: "That old man better play up to his potential this year, or we're gonna send his ass to the worse city possible, like Hartford."

On the Janet Reno Investigation: "I'll tell you something. Jay Scudieri is as shady as they get. I have personally donated over 5 million dollars to her in order that she might begin her investigation immediately. No expense will be spared in order to bring to light the fact that this man is a dirty rat!"

On his alleged drinking problem: "That's a damn lie. I drink. I fall down. I get up. No problem!"
