I'm wondering if anyone ever reads this sentence.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Your New Manager

Attention fans of a floundering franchise: Salon expert Giuseppe Franco recommends himself for manager of the New York Mets.

[cut to Jorge Sosa giving Giuseppe Franco a hysterical bear hug]

Just listen to what he says about himself:

"Well, first, I'm the only manager I've seen who's effective on a sloppy and lazy ballclub just by making them practice ONCE every ninety days."

"I don't make 'em do a daily regimen, or a twice-daily regimen...who has the time for that nonsense?"

"Just practice once every ninety days, and it works."

Carlos Delgado, infielder: My glove works better, because it is better. This is my real glove. That's what's great about Giuseppe Franco.

Aaron Heilman, pitcher: It worked on me, and it worked on a lot of teammates I know. Guiseppe Franco works!

Luis Castillo, infielder: When I go like this with my bat [wiggles it], it feels like I could actually hit the ball out of the infield. I really notice a tremendous difference. I'm really happy with it.

"I don't own the team. I don't know anything about baseball. I just know that I'd be the greatest manager ever for this mediocre baseball team."

"Look, stop saying you're only a few games outta first place, stop denying that your team looks bad, and do somethin' about it. You can be on the road to an NL pennant right now by getting on the Giuseppe Franco program."

"Hey...I'm Giuseppe Franco."

"I'm not putting my name on the line for a team that doesn't win."

As long as there's a gratuitous Gary Busey shot, I'll buy that product... um, I mean, put my faith in that man to manage my ball club.

You know, I always wondered why, when touting the Hollywood celebrities that frequent Franco's salon, he would choose Gary Busey. He may as well have put a picture of Nick Nolte's mug shot on the screen.

I love the old guy thumbing through his 3 hairs on his head, and then throwing out a dozen bottles into the garbage can. Dude, the guy is 90, he ain't growing hair.

Nice work, TJ

The best part? Judging by the quality of that picture, you actually took a picture of your tv screen. Which means you had to wait patiently, watching SNY, until that commerical came on. Tremendous.

"I don't know anything about baseball."

So we wouldn't even notice Willie's absence!

I support the Guiseppe theory! btw, Guiseppe says Busey was in the ad because he happened to stop by the salon that day and said put me in the spot! too funny!
