Also great is the Yankees.

Do you have a soul?
No?
Yankees fan.

In any case, the Mets entry pretty much sums up how most of my Met-fan friends are feeling these days.

you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

I guess I'm dumb but I don't get it. Why would a person who uses sports to escape a miserable normal life escape to the Mets?

i'm merely a contributor. my buddy who is running it is a big mets fan so it was fun to be able to bury the mets. i do think they'll finish last though.

Half a bil in debt? :shock:


Stadiums are expensive to build

Forgot it was a new stadium because of how it's already falling apart. (Actually, wasn't sure how much of the bond debt was on the Mets)

BTW, the company the Mets got the bond insurance from, Ambac Financial Group, filed for bankruptcy a few months ago. :mets lollerskates:

buster onley:

A group linked to the Tampa Bay Rays is looking to invest in the Mets, writes Peter Lattman. If the Wilpons can't hang onto the Mets, then Rays owner Stuart Sternberg would be a natural to take control of the team, just as L.A.-based Lew Wolff -- currently the owner of the Athletics -- would be a fit to buy the Dodgers.

I didn't think so either, and there is no other context. That is the complete item 1, item 2 is a link to an article about Reyes' contract extension.

Loria sold the Expos and bought the Marlins.

Werner sold the Padres and bought the Red Sox.

I know, but the article doesn't indicate he is planning on selling the Rays.

here is some more detail. missed the link on my first read through.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/03/sport ... f=baseball

Code: Select all
Frankel would sell his share in the Rays should his group’s bid for the Mets be successful, people with knowledge of the investment group said.

Back in the olden days guys owned two teams. I remember the same guy who owned the Cleveland Spiders owned some other team and put all the good players on the other team.

The Spiders went on to a sparkling 20-134 record.

In 1899, the owners of the Spiders, the Robison brothers, Frank and Stanley, bought the St. Louis Browns baseball club from Chris von der Ahe, renaming it the Perfectos. However, they continued to retain ownership of the Cleveland club, an obvious conflict of interest that was later outlawed

Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can
