When Beltran was a free agent, every Met fan, including myself wanted him. Besides the injuries the last couple of years, he's been a decent player. You can't predict injuries and if he never got them and put up numbers that he usually did no one would be *****ing, including me. But for an owner to come out and say that about his players is completely wrong. Yes steinbrener did it but Wilpon is no steinbrener. If he saw something wrong, he went out and fixed it. He didn't care what the cost was, he's in new York and wld put out a competitive team. Do us all a favor Fred and SELL THE TEAM...., sorry for rant....

he would be filling seats and be a brand like the Bombers, maybe even a TV service of his own. But he was greedy and neglectfull, now he`s crying about his signings, there`s no crying in Baseball.

As for the Mets,the Wilpons are an utter joke. I'm tempted to just give up on the mets until these utter farce of an ownership team is forced to sell them.
I take it you guys were not fans of the article on Wilpon in last weeks Sports Illustrated.
