Mama Said There Would Be Days Like This

We interrupt this normally scheduled blog for an important news bulletin.......

Flushing, NY

-New York Mets officials announced today after the government-mulish ass kicking by the Rockies this afternoon, that the Mike Pelfry that pitched today IS NOT the Mike Pelfry that won the 5th starters job in spring training. Details are sketchy right now, and we are having trouble removing rumor from fact, but it appears as if some deviltry is at play. After his first start this season, manager Willie Randolph appeared to know that something wasn't quite right. "I noticed a small difference after his first start, but thought it may be nervousness or something" Willie said. "Then after today's game, I KNEW for a fact, that this was not the gentleman that we gave the job to in spring training".

Authorities have no leads on the whereabouts of the "real" Mike Pelfry at this time. They also have no idea who the imposter may be, or where he came from. The search has started back in Port St. Lucie, FL where the real Pelfry was last seen in a spring training game in mid-March.

An anonymous tip from someone called the "Lone Met Fan" brought attention to the fact that the only person with enough money to fabricate a living, breathing twin of someone is George Steinbrenner, The New York Yankees owner and known master of the "Evil Empire". Steinbrenner as you may remember has lost 3/5ths of his starting rotation this year to injury so establishing motive at this point will be no problem for the police. While the police were adamant about not labeling Mr. Steinbrenner as a suspect, he is being referred to as a "person of interest" in this ongoing, bizarre case. More details as they come available.
