This landed in the 'ol inbox today: 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.

I think this is a great idea. I look forward to the new ads with "Mets" written across women's butts.

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!
