Amazin' Avenue, a New York Mets community

New York Times article about Saul Katz

Here are some numbers from this New York Times article: * SNY is believed to make at least $260 million/year from subscriber revenue (ad revenue is not mentioned) * SNY nets about $120 million (Sterling Equity would get 67% of this) * SNY pays the Mets between $60-70 million/year If this is accurate, and I'm reading this correctly, then the New York Mets and Mets' ownership receive $140-150 million/year from SNY.

Our own sokojoe looks at the idea of players folding due to New York media scrutiny. Joe concludes that this is a myth, perpetuated by, well, the "chest-beating" New York media.

No article yet, just a blurb at the top of the site: "Breaking News 3:23 AM ET: The New York Mets Fire Manager Willie Randolph" How this news managed to break in the middle of the night, I have no idea. [Update, by kingcritical] Promoted to front page. WFAN says Randolph, Peterson, and Nieto all are fired. This is just a bizarre move, especially (as Tony Page points out) since the team just won a game after flying out to the west coast. More as it develops. [Update #2] Adam Rubin got the scoop. [Update #3] Story link at the top edited to point to short NY Times story on the matter instead of NY Times front page.
