OPEN THREAD - New York Teams



The Mets... the Knicks... the Giants... the Jets...

What's with this town and its teams?

Bad owners? Bad managers? Bad drafting? A little of all?

And what makes the Yanks operate better?

Yanks had luck with Jeter, Bernie, Posada, and of course Mariano. They used that base to build champions, not try to play meaningful September baseball. They have rolled with it ever since, marketing themselves as a great franchise. Tons of revenue, smart deals (mostly). Pretty fearless. Mets passed on A Rod and Sheffield, Yanks didn’t, Mets never do enough.

The Nets were destroyed earlier this decade. They have shrewdly rebounded, by astute player selection, and strong coaching.

The Yankees were helped when George Steinbrenner was suspended, brought in Gene Michael and putting a system on the team. The Mets need Jeff Coupon to be suspended, for that to happen.

The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money

That's what I want, yeah (that's what I want)
That's what I want

The difference between the Mets and the Yankees...to date.

TP - Yanks spend TONS - mostly very wisely

The Mets? Don't get me started.

Texas Gus - who is worse...James Dolan, or Wilpon?
