Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

batmagadanleadoff Nov 23 2013 12:25 PM

Fifty years and one day ago, on the day that JFK was assasinated, Phillies Records released what would become perhaps the greatest collection of Christmas Songs in pop music. The Mets commemorate the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination and Phil Spector's A Christmas Gift to You with this: http://mlb.mlb.com/fan_forum/greeting_card.jsp?c_id=nym

It's troubling, is it not?

Benjamin Grimm Nov 23 2013 12:35 PM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

I think it may be time to stop rooting for this team.

Wow.

In Harvey's defense, he was really there to talk about Qualcomm.

[crossout:e0kjvm7c]Its almost (but not quite) better than some of the Friday Vol. 1 songs.[/crossout:e0kjvm7c] Ouch. Later

Ye gods. Ye have abandoned us, obviously.

Zvon Nov 23 2013 05:51 PM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

Actually Lucas put on the best performance of the lot of 'em.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Nov 23 2013 06:14 PM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

Holy hell, I thought seeing the other team videos would make ours look better, or at least more sufferable in context. It kinda does the other thing.

d'Kong76 Nov 23 2013 06:23 PM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

Yeah, the whole marketing department should have been fired like two decades ago.

OK, the Yankees version is gloriously awful. Autographed ornaments that make we question the literacy of most of the team aside, you gotta love the prominent role assigned to ARod, whom they are working so hard to jettison!

metirish Nov 23 2013 07:19 PM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

Hilarious it's so bad.

G-Fafif Nov 23 2013 07:33 PM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

Holy Hanukkah Bush. Niese actually wasn't bad. OTOH, kind of reassuring to discover there's something Matt Harvey isn't superb at. Besides staying healthy, I mean.

Are you the only one on this forum who needed to flush out all those other links to MLB Xmas videos to realize that the Mets song wasn't linked to JFK?

The Yankees can't do anything without saying, "Bow to our greatness", can they? In that last scene, the kids looked like they were in prison. Appropriate imagery...

Jeter does come off a bit messiahesque in their video card.

In Hollywood, they bury all traces of dogs like this out in the desert somewhere.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Nov 24 2013 05:04 PM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

I mean, it's better than sending out "The Day The Clown Cried" as a Passover greeting, I guess. Plus, my kid likes it. Like, a LOT. Like, we watched it six times suck-cessively before I employed the Daddy Veto last night.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Nov 25 2013 06:27 PM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

I just had to watch this four times in a row. Again. I'm really starting to miss Anna Benson.

MFS62 Nov 26 2013 07:02 AM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

This reminds me. If you pass a Sidewalk Santa and he looks like one of the Wilpons, it probably is - trying to get enough money for a Type A Free Agent. Later

Am I the only person here who loves this? I think it's awesome.

themetfairy Nov 26 2013 10:01 AM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

I love it, despite the fact that it's far from awesome. But it cracks me up. Face it - except for David Wright (who is always a good sport) and Justin Turner (who may be high, or who just genuinely loves Christmas music), there are hostage videos that look more natural than these guys. That said, something about it just makes me laugh.

metsmarathon Nov 26 2013 11:07 AM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

i adore it.

dinosaur jesus Nov 26 2013 11:12 AM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

I think it's fine. It's embarrassing, but in a good way. The one from the Yankees looks cheap and grandiose at the same time. Perfect.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 26 2013 11:21 AM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.

I'd like it more if it were genuinely bad, but, I mean, d'Arnaud looks like he's been tortured into doing it. So it just misses being so bad it's good. It's so bad it's bad.

I'd bet that there's at least one Met with a golden singing voice, but he won't show it off because of the macho culture he exists in.

Edgy MD Nov 26 2013 01:15 PM Re: Deck the Halls with Lucas Duda.
