A 90 Million Dollar Payroll Is Old News

January 17, 2012

Frankly, I’m tired of the whining about the Mets’ financial issues.  This includes articles about the payroll written with the intention to get a rise out of the cry babies unrealistically hoping 1 billion dollars will magically appear on the Mets doorstep.

It sucks for sure, but we have known for months publicly (and could read the writing on the wall for over a year) that the payroll was going to be around 90 million.

Translation…this is old news.  Stop beating a dead horse.  Leave it be until something actually develops.  Andrew Marchand from ESPN New York asking us today if we are okay with a 90 million dollar payroll is a classic case of writing something just for the sake of writing something.

Fans, facts are facts.  Deal with it.  We have a choice as consumers.  Either stop buying tickets and stop watching, or just shut up.  At least that way we can keep a little bit of dignity.  We are well on our way to being perceived by other baseball fans like these guys…
