Sal Licata may as well be the Hamburglar with the way he\u2019s stealing credit from Grimace.<\/p>\n
Licata, WFAN\u2019s hot-take extraordinaire, spent the last two days discrediting the purple face \u2014 or, as Licata called it, the \u201cfat, purple ass\u201d \u2014 of the Mets\u2019 now-seven-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
The Mets are undefeated since Grimace, pals with iconic legends such as Mayor McCheese and Officer Big Mac, threw out the first pitch before a win over the Marlins on June 12.<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand nobody really thinks Grimace is responsible for this but what you don\u2019t understand is that everybody that references Grimace, it\u2019s making a mockery for the Mets,\u201d Licata said Tuesday before the Mets rallied for a 7-6 road win over the Rangers. \u201cThe Mets earned the credit here, not because of some goofball mascot Grimace. His fat, purple ass. I\u2019m so tired of Grimace.\u201d<\/p>\n
It may be that one day the world will forever remember Grimace\u2019s role in the rise of the 2024 Mets, alongside fellow legends associated with the color purple.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s, of course, Prince and the iconic \u201cPurple Rain\u201d song and album.<\/p>\n
Thanos, the legendary purple-shaded Marvel villain who required the Avengers assembling to be defeated in \u201cAvengers: Endgame.\u201d (No spoiler alert required here, it\u2019s been out for five years, people.)<\/p>\n
The Purple People Eaters, the iconic Vikings defensive line in the 1960s and 1970s that terrorized opposing quarterbacks.<\/p>\n
And here comes Grimace, the happy, yet rather quiet fan of chicken nuggets and Happy Meals, to save the once-stumbling Mets season.<\/p>\n
Ever since he graced Citi Field with his first pitch, the Mets can\u2019t lose. They are juggernauts, winning seven straight games and looking like the team to beat in baseball.<\/p>\n
Everyone has seemingly embraced Grimace, the lovable purple loaf, with even McDonald\u2019s leaning into Grimace\u2019s heroics on their X account.<\/p>\n
But yet, there\u2019s one man who does not believe in Grimace. One man who apparently is auditioning for the role of \u201cThe Grinch\u201d six months in advance.<\/p>\n
Licata, when he\u2019s not worshipping Steve Cohen, takes no joy in Grimace. Perhaps he had a poor experience with a Happy Meal when he was a child.<\/p>\n
No matter the reason, he spent Monday and Tuesday besmirching poor Grimace, whose only role in life is to bring smiles to his millions and millions of fans.<\/p>\n
Licata called the Grimace praise Monday \u201csuch minor-league stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Mets finally are playing well, they go on a winning streak,\u201d Licata said Monday, with the streak at five. \u201cAnd yet you\u2019ve got some knuckleheads on social media and elsewhere giving of all people credit for this run: Grimace. That fat McDonald\u2019s mascot. That\u2019s who\u2019s going to get \u2014 Oh, the Grimace Mets. I even saw (Ed Arzooman) tweet about this. \u2018Oh, the Grimace Mets.\u2019 It\u2019s not just him, everybody\u2019s doing this thing. \u2018Oh, the Mets are 5-0 since Grimace threw out the first pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s really what we\u2019re talking about? The Mets are actually playing well, they\u2019ve won five in a row and it\u2019s because Grimace threw out the first pitch?\u201d<\/p>\n
And then Tuesday, he doubled down on the hate on Ronald McDonald\u2019s bestie.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you realize after yesterday\u2019s little rant, that I\u2019ve been getting texts and tweets non stop from friends being like, \u2018Oh, of course you hate Grimace.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018It\u2019s stupid, come on, dude.\u2019 Yeah, the Mets should build a statue of Grimace,\u201d Licata said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m getting texts last night, I\u2019m fighting with my friends like, \u2018What\u2019s the big deal? Lighten up.\u2019 I don\u2019t want to lighten up. It\u2019s not about Grimace. Give the Mets some damn credit for once. Every time they do something good, it\u2019s somebody else. It\u2019s the Rally Pimp, it\u2019s Grimace. Those are the two biggest stars of the. Forget Lindor or Nimmo or Alonso, it\u2019s the Rally Pimp and Grimace.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose are the only two guys that get credit for this 2024 season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perhaps McDonald\u2019s could send Licata some fries or even some Grimace merchandise in hopes of making him see the purple-shaded light.<\/p>\n
The hating is even more baffling considering how humble Grimace is about the situation, even tweeting Tuesday: \u201cthe grimacee effectt im flattereddd.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Grimace time, whether Licata likes it or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
