[Guest attgig]

couple articles he just put out:

http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/7495383/new-york-mets-largest-payroll-dropoff-ever
pretty much, mets drop in payroll from one year to the next is a new record (bigger drop than the firesales the marlins ever did in pure $, though % wise, it's less)



and the bigger article :

I hate the Wilpons.

[MFS62]

They want to keep the team in the family and pass it down to furure generations.

I thought that kind of cruelty was outlawed by the Geneva Convention.

Rubin politicked to be the GM of the Mets.
I'd like to see Sandy tell him, "OK, Sparky. You're acting GM for a week. Now fix it."

Not just yet, but we are in the toaster.

I think we just learned a little too much about Ashie's sex life.
