I see – folks are going to continue to be negative. Here’s Ian O’Connor on ESNY NY
The Mets are a big-market joke with small-market bottom lines, and Wilpon’s dreadful decisions in business and baseball are to blame.
…
For Mets fans, normalcy is a team in the world’s biggest, noisiest marketplace that slashes payroll by more than $50 million. Normalcy is a team that can’t afford to keep Jose Reyes while sharing a city with the Dream Team Yankees. Normalcy is a team that can’t keep its employees out of trouble or its fragile players out of the tub.
Normalcy is a team staring at its fourth straight losing season and a projected plunge into last place.

The Mets get to play the season before they have a fourth straight losing season, right?
And this has been asked before by others but ponder these questions…
– what if Carlos Beltran fouls off a pitch?
– what if Tom Glavine doesn’t pitch the worst game of his career?
– what if someone can save one of 30 blown saves when Wagner got hurt?
– what if Ollie throws a gem in game 162?
I’ll even add this – what happens if Ike Davis and David Wright don’t crash into each other?
I agree, even when the Wilpons win they are losers…because the mainstream media won’t let go of the venom.
Let’s play some baseball and see what’s what.
..
I don’t care if the Wilpons own the team or not. I don’t recall ever meeting Fred or Jeff and I definitely have never met Saul Katz.
A zillionaire is a zillionaire. Wilpons sell, Dolans come in. Or an investment bank. Or Hurley from Lost.
Someone richer than you will own the team. That doesn’t make them smarter.
The stupid Wilpons may be stupid…but the stupid Steinbrenners were stupid too for 15 years and that fanbase gave a standing ovation when George was kicked out of baseball. Now he’s a saint and there’s a Lincoln Monument to him in the fake new place.
Winning will forgive anything and everything.
Let’s play baseball. Maybe Johan has 18 wins in him. Maybe David has .300/30/100. Maybe Ike does too. Maybe Duda does too. Maybe the game has slowed down for Niese. Maybe Murphy is a .320 hitter and can get by at second.
If the Mets win all the folks who are spitting venom now will be writing books about The Miracle Run of the 2012 Mets.
I call you names now, and I will call you names then.
Let’s Go Mets. See you April 5th.
