What Jaws Would Look Like as a Multi Billionaire
First of all, this is a slightly misleading article title, but we live in misleading times.
OK, let me just come out and say it: to have multiple multi-millionaires on both sides of the bargaining table and end up in an extended lockout after two years of extended lockdown?
Yo, yo, y'all rich folk are tone deaf.
I checked the real standings:
Owners and Players? Vying for the Division lead.
Fans? We're a very distant third.
But...when the buckaroos finally stop their silliness and reach the deal they should have reached in November, if they cared a whit about stressed fans, they will immediately expect the stressed hordes to transform into dutiful fanatics who will crack open the wallets, yank out the Platinum Cards, add to the family debt load, and spend like drunken sailors.
Maybe fans will snap to...but them owners and players?
They are TONE DEAF!!!
On a similar "selfish multimillionaires" note, I read in the NY Post that James Harden (he of the BEARD and the $41.25 million he is making this year, or $500,000 per game) was dogging it, exaggerating an injury, and essentially forced a trade - all purportedly, of course.
Fans who watched the team slide from 1st to 8th during an 11 game losing streak? Well, that's the way it goes, schmucks...you don't like it, he don't shave, he don't care.
NOW - on to my story.
My brother tells me he watches ESPN a lot and SNY, too, and said he hears talk about their expectation and anticipation that Steve Cohen will be unfurling the cabbage, the crypto, the cash, and the Credit Card to devour free agents.
Jaws will live again. Predator Steve is circling out there, somewhere, ready to strike. Other owners tremble.
At least, I hope so.
Well, if so, that would sure go a long way towards curing my lack of appreciation for the tone deaf.
Enough kvetching and speculating out of me - - -
Are any of you hearing anything significant Mets-moves-wise when once (if ever) the lockout ends?
Let us know!
Man, how I wish they didn't trade the Crow. How cool would it have been to have the tag team of Francisco and the Crow?
P.S.
Some of you have asked for a Top 50 Mets prospect listing.
So, I did it in an abbreviated 2 part article series:
Top 30 (this coming Tuesday) and the next 20 (on Wednesday). Enjoy.
