    Someone please run Selig out of the mlb and Wilpon out of NY.

    Its becoming farcical..we have approx $44 mil tied up in 2 players and Alderson is expected to build a roster with just $55 million...madness...

    Through alll the depression and the fact that the cunt that is Bay will again steal a living Murphy/Davis/Duda and Wright is a pretty strong 2/3/4/5...the rest of the order is shit

    Exactly, Donald Sterling made a fortune off of being a slum lord. I'm sure he could figure out how to make money out of a losing basketball franchise.

    Only the Chippers are on the rise and we are in freefall.

    Hilarious stuff... MLB will own them half way through the year.

    "Missed this on Christmas Eve as I was decking the halls and stuff, but Richard Sandomir has yet another article underscoring just how bad off the Wilpons and the Mets are, financially speaking:

    Their $430 million loan on the team is due in 2014. Their $25 million loan from M.L.B. is past due and repayment has been extended. They recently borrowed $40 million from Bank of America. Their valuable network, SNY, is also heavily leveraged, to the tune of $450 million, a loan that must be repaid in 2015. And the Mets’ Citi Field bond payments leapt from $19 million last year to $43.7 million. That is a lot of borrowing for a team that lost $70 million last season and had faltering attendance."

    Pretty strange that he would risk about $4 million to do this, rather than wait until his career is over, but it's his choice. Hope he knows how to climb mountains.

    I don't know how I never saw this but Francessa really is the worst. I know he's got to fill up his show but he makes the game threads here look calm and reasoned. All of this for a 4 game series in April, really?

    My favorite was the "Reyes and Wright are great players, they're all stars but they nevah had a big hit in their cuhreehs!"

    Meh, Mount Kilimanjaro is not a tough climb for anybody with average fitness, let alone a professional athlete (even a pitcher).

    Ray Dickey's book will be out in March.

    His name is Ray. I have no clue why people pronounce it "are ay". J.A. Happ correctly pronounces J.A. as "jay".
