Johnny Drama To Buy Mets?

Fortunately, this is not an April Fool's joke. One of the groups interested in buying a piece of the Mets from the beleaguered Wilpons includes Doug Ellin, the creator of Entourage. As part of Ellin's plan, Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon, and Eddie Burns will be used to add "star power" (notice the quotation marks) to their bid.  I guess Ari is still worn out with his whole NFL experience.

This is exactly what the Mets saga was missing: B-list TV stars. They should just turn the whole process into a VH1 reality show. I'd watch it. Every week, the Wilpons give out Mr. Met bobblehead dolls to each group that advances to the next group of bidding. We can have cameo appearances by Turtle, Ray-J, and Donald Trump. How am I not a reality TV producer? By the way, I would totally go to Citi Field if I knew Dillon would throw out the first pitch in his Tarvold costume. VICTORY!

Still Looking: A Mets 2011 Season Preview

 

Apparently, some of the millions (AND MILLIONS!) are Mets fans, so I figured I would treat them to a Mets preview.

The Mets suck. I could buy them for $100 but I'd rather spend the money on beer and lap dances. They have some decent players but David Wright hates his life and half the team is running from the INS. Also, I hear Johan Santana is injured. Gonna be a long year in Flushing.

Projected finish: 75-87, fourth place in NL East

Meet the Me$$: A Mets Fan's Perspective

My buddy Slumdog is a huge Mets fan and was actually in attendance for Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS. He E-mailed me in response to the Madoff situation with the Mets. Here's what he said:

Meet the Me$$

This Mets story with Bernie Madoff is getting dirtier and more interesting by the day. And as a Yankee fan, I find it hilarious. When it was first reported that the Mets were involved, everyone assumed that they had lost money but now it looks like they actually profited throughout the course of the deal. Now Irving Picard, the trustee assigned to regain money for the victims of the Ponzi scheme, is suing Mets owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz for upwards of $1 billion (with a b!) for failing to realize that their gains were misbegotten.
