They just aren't going to spend any more money. Today, some article on CNNSI compared the Mets' Wilpons to the Dodgers' McCourt. Yikes! The only good news is if MLB forces the Wilpons to sell.

It's a shame. Citi Field is a really nice venue (even moreso if you happen to be a 1950s Dodgers fan), but expensive. Really expensive when you think of the garbage they'll be trotting out this year.

Maybe you should change the title to "Make Mac and Mase Yankees fans!"

I don't dislike the Yankees, but some Yankee fans do make me crazy.

My folks were Brooklyn Dodgers fans. When the Dodgers moved, they didn't root for the Yankees or the Mets. Growing up, I watched both the Yankees and the Mets. I became more of a Mets fan probably because of Doc Gooden's nasty curveball, Straw's easy swing and Hernandez's mustache (just kidding, although it is still awesome).

The Mets and Yankees never played each other (until the inter-league play started), so there was no reason to hate the Yankees. They weren't rivals.
