That goes squarely on Jeff Wilpon and David Howard, all the dofus marketing stuff is their baby.
I agree it is an obnoxious slogan and always had been, and it is beyond irony at the moment that those stupid "Your Postseason has Come" spots keep playing right after another relief pitcher is brought out from embarrasment.
Frankly, that is why Jeff Wilpon was a little pissy last week in that he and David Howard are getting grilled in the media/marketing community for their queer slogan YET again.
Nobody needs a slogan to come to the ballpark, they simply do not get it. People did not come out in 1985 to "Catch the Rising Stars" they came out to see the most incredible phenomenen to happen to Shea. And it when they did they also saw Strawberry, Carter, Hernandez, Darling, Wilson, Backman, etal.
No matter what slogan these two loons come up with it will be twisted into a pretzel of embarrasment, but this one was the worst ever. |
