In 2002, Nelson Doubleday sold his ownership share of the Met's to Fred Wilpon. At the time I told people that we would rue that day and that day has arrived. After all wasn't it Fred "Coupon" who did NOT want to trade for Mike Piazza but Nelson said to do it? Wasn't it Fred "Coupon" who balked at signing Vladimir Guerrero because of his 'back problems'? How's that working out for you Fred? The man and his son Jeff are wealthy, but that does NOT mean that they have class. It's like being in radio: you may get paid to be on the radio, but that doesn't mean that you're a pro. The Wilpon's own the Mets and they can do what they want with the team. But the manner in which they terminated Willie Randolph was so over the top classless that even George "Carpetbagger" Steinbrenner is embarrassed! And George The Carpetbagger was the worst! Now Fred and son have outdone George! Disgraziata!!
Build that beautiful new stadium, name the 'rotunda' the "Jackie Robinson Rotunda", bring in new personnel on the field, even replace Omar Minaya because his track record isn't the best, but you are classeless and will always be classless. If you had to fire anyone, you should have fired your hair stylists because you both look like 'cafoni'.
