Mets Owners Get $700 Million in Loans to Refinance Debt

[SILVER SEAVER]

We competed from 2006-2009.

You mean 2006-2008 right? 2009 was a 70 win campaign unless that's considered giving it the ol' college try.

[Dugmet]

Unless the Wilpons sell the team we will never compete. The commish needs to step in and force the Wilpons to sell the team.

Based on what?

01. The Wilpons were victims of a crime. They deserve fair chance to recover.

02. Plenty of teams with payrolls in the middle of the pack are competitive. Some even win the W.S.!

Back to back collapses is competing to you?

No wonder you are ecstatic with this team.

We played meaningful games in September which counts as competing.

If our farm system wasn't so barren and we actually had some talent at the upper levels, maybe we would have made the playoffs and won a WS...(why we are rebuilding)

LOL!!! That's Fredball 101, tix sold in Sept = Winning.

No wonder you're happy with what is going on now!

We're 'rebuilding' because the owners can't afford to own the team. They can't even a afford to sign a single major leaguer of any description, not even one!!!

So the 2007-2008 Mets did not compete for a playoff spot?

How does that have any correlation to me being happy with what's going on right now?

The Wilpons being broke has a part in our rebuilding, but it doesn't mean that it wasn't a good baseball decision. We needed to build a younger core that would allow us to compete for years to come.

[Sick Of It All]

Business as usual for Freddy and baby Huey.

2014 spending spree here we come!!!!!!!

[Dugmet]

There isn't going to be a spending spree in 2014. They may spend money on quality players, but if the right ones are not available, SA won't be a buyer. No more Ollie-types, please, and no spending for the sake of spending.

Sick was being sarcastic

[YoungStuna]

I'm not asking for a spending spree, but it will be time to spend on a few upgrades.

Corey Hart is a great target for this team, as would Aaron Hill.

They competed till September, it's still competing. 2009 is another story. I mean I guess you can say a team competes if they lose 100 games 3-2 but they are still not of championship caliber if they can't find ways to win those games once in a while.

Hart would give us some pop and he's got a good arm from what I remember of him.

You know I meant to say 2008.
