After a disastrous start to the season, the New York Mets (coincidentally) turned their year around the moment McDonald’s character Grimace started becoming a regular fixture around their games. I assure you, that is a real sentence.
Now, with Grimace becoming increasingly popular around the Mets’ home stadium, even New York’s broadcasters are letting their somewhat intrusive thoughts fly. Take Keith Hernandez, for example.

During the Mets’ matchup with the Houston Astros on Sunday afternoon, an off-the-cuff conversation with play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen about an inflatable Grimace went off the rails quickly.
It turned into Hernandez sharing his most honest thoughts — he’d love to pop it with an ice pick. Oh man, that is hilarious:

Honestly, since Hernandez poses the question, I can’t lie.
I would love to take even a needle and pop that Grimace costume. Can you just imagine how satisfying that would be? Oops! Then again, that is also me expanding on a thought I probably wouldn’t otherwise share, especially on live TV.
