wait….. Finkle is Einhorn?

Boy, I haven’t heard this one before…

I guess someody had to say it…or not.

We were so close to having the Wilpons out of the picture. Oh well…years of mediocrity and mismanagement to continue.

It is really not surprising though. Why would Einhorn want to get into bed with the financially uncertain Wilpons, if not to eventually take over control of the mets?

Yeah, I’m guessing then they never had any real intention of selling to Einhorn. He was probably a waiting game to make sure Selig didn’t step in.

What’s more, somebody is going to own this team, and with all the uncertainty, if I were Fred (and not delusional) I might think about bringing in an investor with some vision who could pick up the mantle in case I had to sell…that is if I really loved my team the way I was always bragging about…
But in Wilpon’s case, that’s a big IF.

Dude, did you get my email?

“The deal was never a good one for the Mets”
No, the deal was never a good one for the Wilpons.
Infield Fly
Yeah, and these days those two things are pretty much mutually exclusive.

Well, in this case Einhorn wasn’t really banking on the Wilpons to fail in 5 years. They’re already failures as owners of this team. When a NY team with a new ballpark and new TV deal can’t put together a legitimate plan to win and take advantage of the perks of playing in the biggest media market in MLB that tells you all you need to know about Fred and Jeff Wilpon. Enough said.
