As usual Greg Prince can read my mind and do a much better of explaining what is in there. MUST READ
Something akin to a Cult of Mediocrity prevails in Flushing. The team’s lack of evident progress — win totals stuck in the 70s for a half-decade and no more than three position players on hand who can be penciled in confidently as Opening Day starters for next year — is generally dismissed as something close to irrelevant within the perpetually nebulous big picture. The manager holds the fort and is acclaimed as unquestionably worthy of extension. The general manager, consistently hailed for his sophistication, occasionally makes noises about the need for improvement, but tangible steps forward have been slow to develop and sluggish in materializing. The notorious/penurious ownership…well, who can say for certain what resources it will be able or willing to direct toward roster construction in the months ahead? If you can’t divine anything about ownership’s intentions, it just seems unfair to hold the general manager or the manager or the coaches or the players overly accountable for subpar results. Raise a fuss over wins and losses and you’re condescendingly written off as an unenlightened crank.
It’s time for the fans to take matters into their own hands…
How many more years are you going to put up with owenership not investing in their business?
It’s time for a lack of financial support.
That means tickets.
No business can survive if their product does not sell.
