I think most people involved with MLB and baseball realize the Mets have awful owners. They just don't feel as strongly as you do about needing them to be ousted. Even if they did, how would anyone go about it? You're right, maybe all these writers should be calling out ownership more severely than they do, but that's not going to suddenly make the Wilpons sell the team.

me? This is about what owners should and shouldn't be allowed to do. But anyway, you're saying that MLB realizing there are awful owners and saying "well thats ok", and isn't that a major issue? What does this have to do with how I feel? If they think the owners are awful and not doing anything about it, what does that say? As for the writers, I don't know, no one has ever written those articles. It's not going to make them sell, but it might put pressure on MLB to actually do something. It probably won't, but it could. No one has ever called them out point-of-order, on a high enough level to know what would happen. Actually, weren't writers calling out MLB to handle the McCourt situation when that shit went down? I'm not sure, but MLB has forced owners to sell before in the face of a monetary scandal. And it didn't when the Wilpons went through one. And they haven't yet with it being directly reported that the Wilpons interfere with their own operations in a way they shouldn't be doing. I want to see some goddamn action. This BEGS more national attention.

They won't care as long as the Mets are making money. You are personally giving them money by watching them and going to games. You have no one to blame but yourself and God.

they don't need me or the fans to turn a profit. They make way more on ad revenue and naming rights and their TV deal and the likes than any other team in MLB by far. Me not going doesn't change a goddamn thing. I do go to far fewer (home) games than what I used to anyway. I go to more away games now, so I feel like I've addressed this anyway.

Also btw, since when it rains it pours, not only did the Mets call a starter to start tonight, then retract that 6 hours before the game, and announce another one like just now (merry-go-round of it not mattering who of the fill-ins starts), but hey, Seth Lugo, their best reliever besides Diaz to the DL with shoulder tendinitis. He was massively overused each of the last several seasons, so not a surprise.
