  1. Yeah it was during that awful Houston series......from all I've read Fred comes across as not all that smart and I wonder how the hell he ever made it in the real estate/construction business. Madoff saying Fred and Saul were not sophisticated enough to understand what was going on is some insult I'd imagine , although it might be his defense. (yeah I know Madoff has no credibility but it seems to fit with what others say.)
  2. Linked from JCL on Twitter [youtube:1revit8b]NY0BAMgrucE&feature=share[/youtube:1revit8b]
  3. Bob today http://www.northjersey.com/sports/pro_sports/baseball/mets/052411_Klapisch_Did_Fred_Wilpon_confirm_the_Mets_impending_purge.html
  4. If like me you heard the name Toobin before but couldn't place him then you might be surprised like I was that he's the CNN legal correspondent. oh , that's who he is.
  5. Don't have a fave but what I love about the blog is that the columns are not game recounts as such, but stories. I have learned a lot About Mets history from FAFIF and indeed from MBTN. Greg is chuffed I bet , grinning like a Cheshire cat he'll be.

  7. I can't imagine Alderson would let him get away I can , and easily too. I can't imagine Alderson giving Reyes the 6/7 it will take to keep him. I can see other teams giving it to him though.
  8. yeah , no one deserves Carl Crawford money , especially Crawford. I bet if the Mets had traded for Wright Fred would be lauding him as a superstar, and that's what I don't like about that comment , maybe it's true and maybe not but he's your guy Fred.

  10. David Waldstein for what it's worth thinks the comments were "TOTALLY calculated".
  11. Joelsherman1 Supposedly Wilpon's ace p.r. men crafting follow-up statement My guess: "Fred wants to apologize for omitting that Jason Bay sucks, too." the denial or mis-representation of things said is often ugly and this will probably prove the same.
  12. By Adam Rubin David Wright offered this response to Fred Wilpon's comments labeling him not a superstar (but a very nice guy): "Fred is a good man and is obviously going through some difficult times. There is nothing more productive that I can say at this time."
  13. Fred doesn't like bunting, that's a good thing.
  14. I think by that schmuck he meant himself.

When I read this quote, I thought that Fred meant that no team would pay Reyes that kind of money --- not just the Mets. Is Steinbrenner said it he'd be alive obviously but it would be seen as a hard line stance....nothing wrong with it I think.

  17. Jeff in his box at Citi showing off models of private jets ......nice
  18. it occurs to me that this is not a very good way for Fred to drum up business at the gates.
  19. I'm sure I've called Carter a self serving arsehole here on this forum in the past but that hardly means I'm not rooting for the guy.
  20. John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: I don't think the point is to look at either team's chances for the World Series but how they did against one another. . True , in that regard it went like they always do it seems for the Mets , win one , could have should have won two, when you compare both starting teams I thought the Mets did good, especially with Bay being zero threat at the plate and really the bullpen wasn't going to hold up and carry this team for long.
  21. Read this on the train in , brilliant stuff from Toobin , reading it again to let it soak in. love this line from Toobin Wilpon must prove that he was a dupe rather than a crook
  22. Neither of these teams are going to win the WS, one expects to though and are delusional. All things considered I thought the Mets did fine coming in here , the series went like they typically do. MFY fans should be worried though as that team is very flawed and the heart of that team will be there for a while yet.

    Hack Bay

    He looks like Cedano up there swinging , terrible player.
  24. terrible AB by Beltran........expecting nothing here from Bay.
  25. Fucking kidding me?, pulling Burnett after giving up a hit to Reyes. Thanks Joe.
