As I said, beyond the limits of that thread I've always advocated spending appropriately to the market. That means always drafting the best...

In and beyond that thread what I've been advocating is that Wilpon quit looting revenue and spend appropriately to the New York market. Will that...

Anyone making an honest assessment of this team knew exactly how bad it was. I predicted a 29-52 record at the half. That might even have been...

Alderson's just there to lie during interviews and take the heat. The Front Office = Fred and Jeff. The Wilpons have been draining the franchise...

I wouldn't judge Gee too harshly. He's still probably building strength after surgery. He's had some decent outings and has the temperament to...

I think I PMed you about your gifs before we ever had any discussions about anything. I think you're fundamentally nice. I kind of get the feeling...

Our exchanges have always been cordial and respectful even when we disagree and I've long been a fan of his signature gifs. What I don't get...

MLB won't open its books. One has to assume there's a good reason. Player salaries wouldn't be so high if teams couldn't afford it. Most MLB...

The Wilpon family had been investing with Madoff since at least 1986, I believe. They were a total of a few hundred million dollars ahead when the...

"Spend the $300, lie down on the couch and get some perspective"? Talking trades acquisitions, etc. is like discussing the feng shui of the deck...

If you feel like defending the Wilpons some more please do it with the best logical argument you can manage. Thread spamming is not cool and...

Glad you're following the case. How many business owners do you suppose unwillingly sold out because of the ongoing harassment and giant legal...

As I mentioned in another thread that's just been closed, I wouldn't expect much going forward. The "rebuild" was a sham to give the Wilpons an...

The Wilpons have no incentive to improve the team. Most of their T.V. revenue is based on a percentage of total cable subscribers, not how much ads...

Getter done Omar...

They weren't just taking normal profits or paying themselves normal dividends. Mets TV revenue was being run through another company called SNY...

The Wilpons were skimming lots of Mets revenue even with the Madoff era "meaningful baseball in September" teams. Now their recipe for recovery...

Someone should. If you try to understand the Wilpons as Mets fans or baseball lovers trying to run a baseball team successfully, after a while you...

Yup, 108 wins. Average age of pitchers was about 25, of position players about 27. That team should have been great for many years. Cashen's...

This is absurd and is the result of too many years of rooting for a crappy team. It matters a lot. If we had made some moves at the trading deadline...

Murph 10 for his last 16 with 4 doubles. He's streaky but at the end of the season the total production will be very good. Throw in decent...

I predicted some players would have problems. I didn't predict problems for others. I singled out Hefner and Turner as potential pleasant...

Woah. Relax man

Alderson himself is a big tool. His bosses are even bigger tools.

But his job is to improve the major league team. Since when do we talk about any major market team and congratulate them for building system depth...

The point of my comment was Ike would have poor protection and not a lot of runners on base. This would contribute to problems. I wasn't...

Meeeeee! Notice I also called Turner and Hefner being decent.

"(T)hat 11th pick and a possible protected pick next year will still help this team long term"??? How many years are you giving this "rebuild"...

Firing Collins would end the charade that nothing should be expected of the team because it's rebuilding. For that reason alone I think he'll stick...

The difference is Woody Johnson at least has his own money. The Wilpons are not only meddling and dysfunctional, but had little money of their own...
