I've written about this before, but it's nice that Jerry sees things the same way I do.
The 2009 Mets need to win it all.
Not a division (or a lousy Wild Card). Not a pennant. Not lose Game 7 of the World Series to the Red Sox.
Win the World Series.
That's it. Anything else and I lump this team in with 2006, 2007, 2008 and even that really forgettable 2000 team that everybody but me likes for some reason.
Jerry said, "That's why we're here, to win it all. That's why everybody's here." I guess the Wilpons weren't in that room because they obviously don't want big TV ratings or a big left fielder.
When did it become "The Wilpons" anyway? It used to be Fred, now it's "The Wilpons" which reminds me of "The Dolans" in many ways, none of them good.
Wallace Matthews in Newsday has a gem of a paragraph.
The Wilpons have made it quite clear that they are enamored of Omar Minaya, their Teflon general manager, who probably can survive six more collapses before things start to heat up in his office.
Omar does get a free pass doesn't he?
