Cerrone with the Mets read of the day

This. 

This is how I felt this morning about the financial stuff.

Matthew Cerrone: Here’s the problem, I have no idea what these stories are about. Seriously. I read them, I read them again, and somewhere in the middle I start daydreaming about actual baseball and Opening Day and I start thinking about my daughter and if I need to pick up milk at the store and then my mind wanders to blog designs and other projects I’m working on. It’s not a copout, it’s just I am either too unfocused, too confused or I just don’t care enough to know every little detail of every tit-for-tat, he-said, she-said element of this case. I’m a baseball fan. I really only care about the end game here and how this impacts the product on the field.

Go read it, Matt gets a little into the perception have that some think he pulls his punches with the Mets.

  2. The Best thing that could happen is that this case ENDS-either way and the Mets just move on from it.

    This has been the elephant in the room way to long! Just end it one way or the other.

  3. MetsBlog is Wipon owned-and-operated blog. There’s no two ways about it. Cerrone and his colleagues are paid via a Wilpon-owned account. Some of that money may have come from returns from  a past Madoff account. If Cerrone and his blog are the “go-to” blog for all things Mets, they have to report all the news, fairly and accurately. Cerrone has a good idea to add legal and financial analysts for the Madoffian stuff, which does tax the brain of the average baseball fan without an MBA or a JD. Remember, the Wilpons got into this problem on their own doing, and that’s somewhat chronicled. New stuff will come out as the trial date nears. MetsBlog does try and paint the broader picture – but when there is financial or legal news – news that DOES affect the quality of the team and eventually the quality of the players on the field – you’d better bet they MUST report and analyze it. See-say-hear no evil doesn’t cut it in the 24-hour news cycle. If they want to be a bland boring team website and blog with nothing controversial – there’s no one stopping the pictures of ball bags and outfield wall updates. Go to the MLB-run mets.com and read Marty Noble. It is like attending games – if there’s nothing there, we go elsewhere.
