Having the Wilpons use that Madoff excuse still is as bad as the Cubs curse and the Dodgers not being in the World Series. It’s disgusting!

I’m with you. What would it take for the Wilpon family to no longer use that as an excuse? Have they still not made most of his loses back yet? Because I’m quite sure they have.

Seems like they want to scam Mets fans but got lucky with the build from within excuse last couple years.

Huh? Your’re equating the Mets owners being victimized by Madoff to the tune of half a billion dollars to the Cubs curse and the McCourt shenanigans?
All three things are totally different, and only the Dodgers former owners were culpable of criminal actions.
Or are you saying it’s criminal that the Dodgers can’t win with a $300 million payroll? If so, that’s different too, but the Dodgers still represent the worst of all these circumstances.

“Victimized” is a strong term for the Madoff disaster, as there have been more than whispers that the Wilpons knew at some point that it was too good to be true, but they played along bc of the massive returns.

That Dickey trade was brutal. The biggest blemish on AA’s record, and ill-advised even at the time it was made
