    That's some pretty high certainty. And if that turns out to be true, their fortune is certainly vulnerable.

    So, on a scale of 0-100 (100 indicating 100% certainty), what percentage describes your opinon that the 'Pons were getting their money out with advance knowledge that they were caught in an illegal scheme?

    Jesus Fernando (Alvarez) Martinez Pos: RF, CF, LF; BL-TR Born: October 10, 1988 in Rio San Juan, Maria Trinidad Sanchez, Dominican Republic, on a day Kirk Gibson broke your heart. He'll be 22 in 2011. (Martinez, not Gibson.) Acquired: Signed by the New York Mets as an amateur free agent, July 11, 2005.

Best Day in 2010: It's hard to search archives of minor league games, but I'm pretty sure he had a game-winning walkoff homer in 2010. What do you expect of Fernando Martinez in 2011?

    I agree, but if I'm named Wilpon, I expect you'd have to pull some of my teeth before I'd acknowledge that. And I expect them to fight bloody hard and bloody long, and that principal to be untouchable in the meantime. If so, that's likely left them hamstrung.

    The question (in my mind) is whether they have to pay the other investors back the profits (which I'm certain will happen at the end of the day), or they have to additionally give a chunk of their principal to the fund, so each swindled party shoulders the hit evenly. If I'm representing those investors, I go for that money also, which would really sting Sterling.

    Oddly enough, Nelson's selling assets also.
  9. Edgy MD
    Mebbe. I tend to think that Nelson isn't in good mental health these days.

    Because the team is a tremendous asset whose value has increased multple times over in the thirty years since the Doubleday Group purchased it. With the antitrust exemption they have, baseball teams are elusive things to get a hold of. Steinberenner went for the Yankees only after failing to buy the Indians. The lawsuit may dissaude somebody, but Jeff Wilpon and his hair less so.

    It's hard to say, but the breathless speculation is impressive.

    Well, it's nice to see some degree of vindication for Erin Arvedlund, becaue, well, she's cuter than David Howard.

    The problem is that they made money. The nature of Ponzi schemes is that money from the later investors is used to pay off the earlier and larger investors wanting a piece of those big dividends the schemers have been reporting. Naturally, those later investors are saying, "Wait a minute... Let's share the pain here."
  17. Edgy MD
    I don't think this proves lying at all. Being under a multi-million-dollar lawsuit freezes up assets.

    Maybe we can go halvsies with "The Happy Recap."

    The soundtrack was... it was an excuse for a soundtrack. "Let's name a character Eleanor so we can play the Turtles song!" They do everything they can to pretend the Beatles don't exist, even though they represent the vanguard of the revolution these guys are living. They aren't referred to either by the protagonists or their enemies. They work in two Stones songs, but their heavy hitters are typically the Kinks. When they use the Who, they play an anachronistic "Won't Get Fooled Again" which would still be five years away. Even as a rock 'n' roll film, it felt terribly anachronistic. Rock 'n' roll wasn't about hairy mushy guys resisting middle age and looking for ever deeper album cuts from the Grateful Dead until the seventies. Carl is the nerd on the boat, but --- handsome, thin, young, and mod --- he should have been the hero. Emporer Rosko, the real guy on whom Hoffman's character was based, would have been 24 or 25 at that time.
