Mc's ought not to get married.
This dunce was sipping on the equity in the team like a big gulp straw for his idiotic lifestyle. Walkin' around with his shot-out wife, complete with 9 homes.
I think I was a 'Yuppie' for about a year. This guy and his wife should never have been.

When I heard the ESPN teaser that a Major League team was taken over, I thought it would be the Mets. They can't be far behind.

Some believe MLB is in effect already running the Mets, or at least paving the way, with the hire of Sandy Alderson this off season. He has very close ties to Mr. Selig.
Kind of interesting that its the teams in the biggest markets that are having the most trouble these days isn't it.

A strong statement saying the Mets situation isn't at all similar to the Dodgers was made by the commissioner today.

From what I read, Mccourt was leveraged out the yang to buy the Dodgers. How that sale went thru, Bud will need to explain someday. I understand there are stricter guidelines for prospective buyrers now
Wilpon from what I hear was Madoff'd. Not sure of other factors......seems ridiculous NY or LA would have these problems
