I love the Mets, but after a couple of months I start to get pretty depressed. This hot start has me excited for 2012, but I know from past disappointments to never get my hopes too high. |

funny, but at the same time, pathetic that there is so much comedy written about this organization
-------------------- '-|-'
 - "Mr. Jeff Wilpon has decided that he’s going to learn how to run a baseball team and take over at the end of the year… Run for the hills, boys. I think probably all those baseball people will bail… Jeff sits there by himself like he’s King Tut waiting for his camel.” - Nelson Doubleday - "In today's regulatory environment, it's virtually impossible to violate rules." - Bernard Madoff, 10/20/07 The Washington Post decided not to cover Ralph Nader's presidential campaign because he had no chance of winning. Nader's response: "Then why are you covering the Nationals?" - Asked by the Post about the younger Wilpon's job performance, Fred Wilpon said: "Excellent. Everybody knows ...that." - "The word 'autonomy' is sometimes misused." - Jeff Wilpon - "Let’s give Jeff Wilpon the benefit of the doubt here for a moment. Let’s say he is not short-tempered. Tone deaf. A credit seeker. An accountability deflector. A micro-manager. A second-guesser. A less-than-deep thinker. And bad at self-awareness. Fine, he’s none of these things. But here is the problem: This is his perception in the industry." - Joel Sherman - “Jeff is the problem with the organization, and he is never going to realize that. He cannot help himself. He has to be involved. He will never hire anyone who will not let him have major input. He will not hire anyone who does not run every personnel decision through him.” - Anonymous NL Executive - "The only person with a worse reputation than Jeff Wilpon in the game is David Samson." - Anonymous AL executive - "[Mets GM Omar Minaya] isn’t the General Manager. Jeff Wilpon is. Omar’s the one out there to take the heat.” - Peter Gammons - [Jeff Wilpon's] role in management, according to one official who worked for him, "is to act as president and CEO of second-guessing." - "I always want Mets fans on my juries," said one noted defense attorney friend, a rabid Yankees fan. "They love losers, even three-time losers like some of my clients. And if Mets fans believe anything the Mets front office says, I can convince them to acquit anybody." - Denis Hamill - I got a call the other day. They noted I had been a long term season ticket holder and asked if I was interested. I immediately exclaimed "I'm so sorry for the Wilpon Family". He asked what I meant. I told the guy if he looked in my file, he'd see a note to call me after both Fred and Jeff dropped dead, and not a day before. - Meanballer |

QUOTE (Cactus @ Apr 12 2012, 07:02 PM)  funny, but at the same time, pathetic that there is so much comedy written about this organization Everything about the organization is pathetic it seems. I was just at the Mets-Nats game when the Mets lost their first game of the season (tickets were given to me as a gift, I would never give the Wilpons money) and the few thousand people that were there weren't there to cheer for the Mets. I sat in left field and the entire game was nothing but people booing Jason Bay and trashing the Mets the second they started making bad plays. Every member of the fan base has seemed to become completely disillusioned with this team. Dont get me wrong I knew a lot of people were pissed off at the current ownership, but I thought the few thousand that showed up once in a while would at least have the decency to actually root for the Mets, but they don't. I cant really blame them. |
