I agree that the only thing that will make the Mets glamorous and cool is building a winning team.

When a company gets ready to do their first public offering the owners get out and do conferences, create alliances with suppliers and customers and do PR in order to get momentum in the build up to the offering. In this case they are trying to show other potential investors that they are viable. I think the Kraft meeting tells you they cant make it on just the team´s current revenue streams. $2 billion is big money and if its a stretch just to get there they will need to find other ways of creating additional revenue streams. Thats troubling and as Ive said before, I dont think these people are not rich enough to do this. Thats my number 1 reason for rooting for Cohen. <br /><br />You know Mike, I heard this yesterday too. That JRod will create this thing where Met games are the hip thing to do and their star power alone will keep them relevant. You know what else does that? Winning. And frankly, when you do it their way it always ends badly and its a circus. Making the owners the stars of the show doesnt help win games. Oh yea, and just how long do you think these 2 will be together? Is she on husband 4? And him? HAHA. If you think these two are, until death do they part, Ill bet you they arent. Then what?
