Wilpon Ignores Giants Again
Another in a long series of ignoring another baseball team ever played in New York City.
“The love of the game and this city is in my DNA,” Wilpon said. “I’ve lived here all my life. People have asked me why I am building a smaller stadium . I didn’t build a smaller stadium to make money. I’m doing it because that is the way to give fans the best experience of being close, like in Ebbets Field.”

The 2000 Mets Mean Nothing
Sure a subway series was cool….but do you really have any emotional attachment to this team?
>Does Willie Pay Any Attention?
>The other day Willie was on WFAN with Mike & the Mad Dog and the were discussing the upcoming weekend series with Arizona. This was Willie’s comment:
“It’s funny becuase we had their number for about a year and a half, leading into the end of last year – actually I think they swept us last time we were there”
Um, Mr. Manager sir – prior to this weekend the Mets – the team you manage – was 15-1 in Phoenix going back to 2005. You would think the manager should know this.
It got worse – Mad Dog tried to point out that no, the Diamondbacks swept the Mets at Shea last year. Willie tried to recover, insisting that Arizona had at least taken 2 of 3 the last time the Mets were there.
Seriously – when your team has dominated another team so decisevely how can you not know this?
