Bringing in another investor? Ahh, no. If fred and jeffy have any interest in the team it will continue to be like it is today, only worse. Wait until Johan demands a trade. Not sure he can demand one contractually, but he will beg the Mets to free him from this unprofessional mess. The Mets will be like this as long as the wilpons own them.

The Wilpons extended Omar's contract when he shouldn't have been. And Omar gave Jerry the job of manager when it was clear they should have opened the interview process to others (like Oberkfell). But you are right, the source "Patient Zero" are Fred and Jeff. I hope they sell a share of the Mets to get some competent baseball guy in there. It’s multi-faceted if you ask me.

They had no idea which way to send people so cars were stuck facing each other heading toward the gates. It took about an hour to get out, and it would have been more if I didn't hop a curb to get to a different gate. You should have seen the parking lot on the way out.

]]> Comment on Ollie Is Omar’s Folly by The Coop http://metsie.wordpress.com/2009/04/10/ollie-is/#comment-569 The Coop Fri, 10 Apr 2009 17:02:36 +0000 http://metsie.wordpress.com/?p=766#comment-569 You are not going to believe this...but...I'm in almost total agreement with you (Horror! Shock! Gasp!...ok I'm done). Given what we knew of Ollie and knowing that Derek Lowe backs his shit up, there is no reason besides money/years that the Mets did not give a legit pursuit of Lowe and went with $0.10 head Oh Pea. NOW! The only reason I'm not in 100% agreement with you is that the whole deal smells of Wilpon Coupons. And luckily they have a scapegoat to pin it on with Omar. His reward? Getting a contract extension late last season when it was evident the team would not make it past Sept 30. You are not going to believe this…but…I’m in almost total agreement with you (Horror! Shock!
