Mark Healey wrote a few interesting sentences. These are his words below.
People who choose to go to a Mets game in 2013 might be enabling a clueless, toothless and fraudulent ownership whose only being kept in place because the CEO is a close personal friend of the CEO. But they’re not schmucks either.
The schmucks, to be clear, are the people spend their hard-earned money to subsidize a baseball team that is unwilling and unable to reciprocate that same financial commitment on the field.

I do not have the expert knowledge to know if they are frauds, and I don’t know if they have a clue, but I do know they have teeth so right off the bat there’s as issue with the assumptions.
But if you choose to spend money on a baseball game you apparently are an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person, or one who is stupid or foolish. (Thank you Wikipedia for that definition.)
Again, from what I read on the internet, if you buy tickets you are obnoxious.
You are contemptible.
You are detestable! I detest you for buying tickets!!!!
And/or you are stupid and/or foolish.
Now I don’t know about you, or you t-shirt guy, or you 5000 people who went to t-shirt guys RA Dickey event, or you my cousin, or you my son, or you my blogger friends, or you the other folks I didn’t get to know this season…..but I had fun at Citi Field this season and I look forward to going next year.
I’m sorry some people don’t like the Wilpons and Katz and Free Pass Bill Maher (the Mets have a dismal record under his stewardship – 43-65 which is .398 ball – WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO IMPROVE THE TEAM BILL MAHER?) – and I get it, Bill’s comedy isn’t for everyone and Jeff isn’t warm and cuddly. However, 9 innings in the sun, two beers not eight, and some time with friends can actually be an enjoyable use of your disposable income.
Choose your disposable income as you see fit. It’s disposable income. If you are borrowing money from your 401K to see a Mets game, well then maybe you are foolish. If you have some cash you don’t mind spending on an entertainment event in which men hit balls with sticks…I am not going to call you a schmuck.

And coming up at 10, let’s see what’s new with Megdal.
