Interesting Mets Things in NY Times

This was on the NYTIMES.COM website today.

I am sure Shannon will comment on this stuff but I just want to get it out there for now.

Maybe the best suggestion for keeping the Mets solvent and relevant came from my friend and colleague Stan Isaacs, the longtime Newsday columnist, still thinking impishly in retirement. Isaacs has suggested the Mets open stock to the public, creating an I.P.O. of the heart.

Are there enough Mets fans who would want to lay out more money so they could own a small percentage of the team?

Now this one falls in line with a question posed on Twitter the other day. He wanted to know when the hatred for the Wilpons started. I said  that I thought it was when Citi Field opened and there was more Dodgers memorabilia then Mets stuff in the stadium.

Isaacs also suggests that the Mets have leaned too far to honor the Brooklyn Dodgers, the team of Wilpon’s childhood, and that one way to remove a cloud of gloom over Queens is to honor the old New York Giants, the team of Isaacs’s childhood.

Definitely an interesting read. You can read the whole post here.
