    Great, so now the GM has to try and trade away the guys he just basically devalued. Call me kooky, but shouldn't he wait until we trade them, Then trash their value?

    This guy must suck at poker!

    Snakebitten? Bullshit. You reap what you sow. When you make bad decisions bad things happen.

    Ya know its one thing to be a bad owner, but this guy is a bad person. The madoff crap ruined this team for me.

    One word was designed for this imbecile....cunt!!

    So we all know we are trading our best players this lying cunt just downgraded Reyes to a non first tier player and basically ridiculed Beltran.

    Guy is a fucking disgrace to sports and this club!

    Bets part was his attempt to knock Minaya for the Beltran signing when he's the f'ing idiot who hired Minaya and gave him the go ahead.

    Then he could buy part of the Dodgers and build Ebbets Field II. Then the Mets could get rid of all the Dodger crap at Citi Field.

    wilpon seemed to be more worried about paying homage even to fucking tiger stadium before incorporating any sort of met history into citi.

    He spoke the truth about Beltran. But he's a freaking idiot to say what he said about Reyes and Wright. I hate this asshole.

    I hate the Wilpons, but everything he said was 100% true.

    he didn't even say anything negative about David wright. i love how the post and other media outlets say he "trashed" wright. he didn't. but he was correct about his assessment that he's a great player but not a superstar. Pujols (maybe not this season), adrian gonzalez, etc. those guys are superstars

    If anything it's the other way around. The Beltran comments were the most idiotic of all, the Reyes ones were pretty questionable too, saying the guy's 'had everything wrong with him' is a bit of an overstatement. And some dope WILL give him a Carl Crawford-type contract. If Wright's offended by being called a good kid and a good player though then something's wrong.

    How is the Beltran one the most idiotic? He is nowhere near as good as he was in the playoff series.
