A familiar face is back with the Brooklyn Cyclones

 


It's cool that King Henry is back with the Cyclones, but what happened to him being with the Staten Island FerryHawks?

Mets. Stop with Donnie Stevenson. Please.

 

Hey Mets Social Media Team. Why in the hell would you use this GIF? I am going to give you guys the benefit that this might be tweeted by an intern that didn't know better and didn't realize how stupid this thing was even last year. For the love of God, please, please, do not EVER USE THIS AGAIN! If you think I am being just crabby like good old Shannon over at Metspolice.com, I'm not. This isn't just me. You guys are going to get me into mid season form early.
