Mets and Yankees Receive Additional Financing

Sweet! I guess the economy's not so bad after all! Now maybe the Wilpons have the fiscal confidence to go out and sign Manny Ramirez, and Ben Sheets, and Adam Dunn, and Superman, and Batman, and Zombie Babe Ruth. It'll be bigger than 10 Super Bowls!

Oh great

If we sign zombie Babe Ruth, there won’t be any brains left on the postgame spread for anyone else.

Zombie Babe Ruth

I don’t want that stupid Yankee on my team. He can go cram it.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

Dammit!

This is such utter bullshit. This city is drowning in red ink, and yet Bloomberg and his friends can spare over $300 million for sports teams owned by billionaires? This is totally f’ed up. God, I hope the rest of this city is smart enough to throw his ass out in November.

And to just think

there was even talk of him running for president.

He never had a chance, anyway.

A short, unmarried Jewish billionaire from Massachusetts and New York? Yeah, that’ll go over really well. As someone who’s experienced firsthand his annual budget cuts in the name of ‘fiscal responsibility’, this pisses me off sooooo much. I’ve been doing the work of 4 people for a year now because we had to leave a position unfilled to save less than $25,000 a year, but we can give out hundreds of billions in taxpayer money for something that we won’t benefit from. Go to hell, Mike.

Hey BobbyV

I’d work w/you for virtually nothing. Here is what I would require:

At least one meal a day consisting of a bologna sandwich on white, starchy bread and a Mountain Dew.
A kick a$$, high speed internet connection for ~~blogging on AA~~ related work there at the office.
To work right beside you so that I could ~~check out your latest Fan Post~~ compare my work to yours to ensure accuracy and completeness.
A small stipend for bus fare.
