My thoughts on the Mets in the last few days,

Hey everyone, I have been super busy with the QBC (Buy your tickets here) and haven't had a chance to weigh in on what has been going on in Mets land. I was just wondering, what happened to fans undying love for "Uncle Steve" you know the guy who was the savior of the Mets fans, the guy who was going to win Championships year after year after year? You guys are all pissed now because his guy David Stearns traded Nimmo(one of my fave players), didn't resign Diaz, didn't resign Alonso and now because there are no leaks what the next move is going to be for the Mets that you make fun of the fact he went to Harvard and has a small market mindset?

I want to say this in two parts. Why are you letting being a fan of the Mets ruin your life? I see so many folks losing their minds over this."I'm done. If I knew this was going to happen I wasn't going to renew my tickets. That's it, Im going to root for the Yankees," I love the team. Hell, I run a damn fan fest about the team for my fellow Mets fans. But to let players movements eat you up like this is crazy. Nimmo waived his no trade clause so he could be moved. Alonso opted out on air basically 5 minutes after the last game as a Met. Diaz opted out also. That's three players that were ready to move on from the team if need be. Root for the laundry and not the names on the back if you are going to be a fan of a team. If you like a layer root for that player no matter what team he goes to. You can do both. I'm friends with Chris Flexen. I'm a Mets fan. I have bought a jersey from almost every team Chris played on because he's a friend and I support him. (I have to found out how to get a Doosan Bears jersey now.) You guys want to be angry that's your right. I just wouldn't let it consume me until after all the chips fall(Casino joke there and you'll see why) in how the 2026 team is assembled and how they end up playing.

Here is my second part of my post. Do you folks remember what MetsPolice and myself were trying to warn you about? That you guys were eventually were going to realize that your "Uncle Steve" wasn't the good uncle you thought he was? Yes, he might be a Mets fan. Yes, he might have had a lot of the Mets memorabilia from historic Mets events over the years. Yes, his wife Alex and her father are die hard Mets fans. But do you really think he just bought the team to own the team? What folks continue to fail to realize that even when the Wilpons wanted to build the two malls around Citi Field was that the only folks who were allowed to build on the PARKLAND around the stadium were the NY Mets. Folks keep thinking the Casino is going to be built across from the ballpark where the WILPONS are already developing the area that the chop shops were in. They are only in phase one right now. The reason why the Wilpons couldn't land the mall in the parking lots of Citi Field is because they didn't play the "game" of saying they are going to beautify the neighborhoods with 20 acres of public green space next to the ballpark. So what am I getting at? I'm getting at the fact I think and it is only my opinion on this, is that Steve Cohen a businessman who has made billions of dollars, paid off fines to the government in the past that "he didn't have to officially pay" and paid billions of dollars for a big market baseball team out of his own pocket without having a consortium behind him, always had plans for the real estate around the ballpark. But again, you guys thought he was going to be altruistic with the team and be one big ATM at all times. Steve Cohen in business is a shark. That is his nature. He is going to whatever he can to make the most money that he can. Most billionaires in my opinion are sharks. There are times when a shark needs to blow up the company that they have invested in and change the "players" that work for them.

This is your fan reality now. Either let it eat away at you or just realize baseball is a business and not a game for kids that is played on a major league level.

Oh and just remember, the CBA is coming up soon.
