I'd like to take this moment to salute the 2014-2015 offseason. It was the offseason that launched a league champion, despite being more densely packed with utterly stupid fake scandals than any offseason I can recall. [list:2n37lrgt]1. They�re moving the fences again?! Do they think we�re stupid?! The other team uses the same fences, you know! 2. Charging players for offseason workouts?! Disgraceful?! No other team would ever!! 3. The new scoreboard was announced the same day the Nationals signed whatshisname! Or the day after! Or something! 4. Sandy Alderson is filling out the lineup card! Or making Terry take it to him for approval! Or just discussing it with Terry! I think Terry is an idiot but this is somehow WORSE! My God, I think Jeffy is filling out the lineup card! 5. The new commissioner did not express an intention to seize the team from Fred and Jeff! They must be butt buddies!! 6. Speaking of butt buddies, Murphy hates gay people! 7. Holding Harvey until game three?! Starting the worst pitcher on your staff on Opening Day?! Debuting Harvey at home in the second game?! What gives?! This is about your filthy love of money, isn�t it?! 8. The Yankees got Didi Gregorius! He was all we wanted and needed and hoped for and we let him get to the YANKEES?!! 9. We could have gotten Ian Desmond for Noah Syndergaard and we just SAT THERE?! 10. Fred Wilpon has been appointed chair of the Finance Committee?! Just watch my head explode! JUST WATCH IT!![/list:u:2n37lrgt] All this fake drama (and more, certainly) turned out to be mere prologue to the true drama to come. Mets, I salute.
