Mets and Yankees Identity Crisises (Newsday)

As I’ve been saying I pushed some stuff off yesterday to give Citi Field some attention….but Newsday had a nice piece on Monday.

The Mets, meanwhile, have a real identity crisis of sorts. As we’ve discussed here previously, is there another professional team out there, in any sport, that gets such grief from its own fans? There’s an incredible disconnect between the way Mets ownership feels about Omar Minaya and the way many Mets fans feel about Omar.

Citi Field is really nice, but haunted by its own name, fittingly.

Will the Mets ever build an organization as well-planned as their ballpark is? Will the Yankees, who operate as though they were raised by parents with impossibly high standards (hey, wait a minute…), ever forgive themselves and operate like a normal baseball team?

The rest is here.
