I thought it was pretty lame. It’s typical Voice: a cynical author seems to be trying to prove some sort of point, though it’s tough for the reader to tell what that point is. In the end, it just leaves you empty and asking yourself why you just spent 10 minutes reading it.

I’d argue that if you look at the big picture, and consider NY baseball relative to many other markets in the country, the Mets and Yankees have been wildly successful.

OK, so have been no World Series wins since 2000 (when either team could have won). But by any measure, the two New York teams have enjoyed much success in the last five, ten, 25 years, whatever.
