Scott Dierking Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Nope..........the Mets are a joke in every way. No one can deny that. And for all the sh*tstorm that swirls around them, they have only one less championship than the Yankees over the last decade, and are within games of their record this year. I love the front office that is in place for the Mets and any cash crisis they may face. They are going to build from within, and develop talent. That will enable to seize upon the appropriate free agents. What the Mets and the rest of recent baseball has taught us is that the team with the largest payroll does not win more Championships than the other franchises.

Matt39 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 In baseball its about getting to the playoffs, which the Yankees are very good at because they spend a lot of money. Not too many low budget teams consistently making the playoffs. Its all about how much you spend in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too many low budget teams consistently making the playoffs. Its all about how much you spend in baseball. I don't think the Mets are going to dip in the lower half of payroll. It is one thing to spend money. It is another to spend money wisely, and have it mesh with a productive farm system. We will see ho wit works.

Bugg Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 When the Madoff story first broke, Wilpon and his media lackeys like Mike Lupica claimed this woulnd't effect how they run their operations even a bit.This was their stance right up unitl December; it was a lie. They didn't mention getting $25 million in loans for MLB. They didn't mention Saul Katz recruited people for Madoff only as long as they asked no questions. They didn't mention that they assigned Arhtur Friedman to investigate whether they could get insurance from a Ponzi scheme on their Madoff investments. They didn't mention that they were getting money out of Madoff right up until the end, while other lost millions. And they didn't mention that they re losing money like crazy. And this has been because Wilpon is s cheap fvkc who like being an owner of an MLB franchise, but doens't like spending the cash necesssary to win, and he allows his idiot son to run the show. Alderson is probably the GM now only because MLB demanded it after the $25 million loan. The abuse their fans with the faux Ebbets Field/Brooklyn Dodger crap. And worse, pretending every year they have a shot when Wilpon won't spend. Allowing Reyes to leave would be criminal, but typical. They lied. Fred Wilpon lies every time he moves his lips. They wouldn't know the truth if it bit them on the a$$. The Wilpons are lying scumbags who should sell the team before they do any more damage.

Mets fans who beat their chests make me laugh. Then theres those that talk about spending money. The Mets have wasted alot of money on so called superstars who have sucked and got them nowhere.

We get it, you don't like Wilpon. Neither do a lot of us. But get YOUR facts right. Please. The Wilpons have Mike Lupica on speed dial to get out their bullsh*t story "we're victims here!" nonsense. And they have known since the day Madoff was arrested they at some point are going to have to sell the Mets. If Wilpon wasn't pals with Selig, Wilpon would have sold already. It's clear now why and how Alderson got this job; to perform an autopsy on this mess and figure out if Wilpon has to be jettisoned. And he does have to go.

faba Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 My father was Mets / National League fan so I just naturally joined him watching the games. 200 million infusion seems to be getting closer. Better a sale of the entire team for a fresh satrt that is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the Mets and the rest of recent baseball has taught us is that the team with the largest payroll does not win more Championships than the other franchises. I love this. I actually agree with it. But I love that you typed it out. So much is written about the Yankees "buying" championships when they win. When the Yankees don't win, it is not about money. The Yankees built a financial empire, that is churning at an incredible rate. ARod and Jeter are overpaid because they bring people to the stadium. That is what people miss out on sometimes.
