Anybody who knows me knows of my love for the Mets. I've followed them for 20 years thanks to the Miracle Mets of '86. I've never been a huge fan of "buying" a championship. During the last offseason I was ok with the Mets picking up Paul LoDuca. He's a good catcher but not a person I would consider a star player. I didn't mind them picking up Wagner as we needed someone to close. Brandon "Pooper Scooper" Looper sure wasn't getting the job done. There was some grumbling when Delgado made an appearance. Did the Mets really need another star player? Granted the Mets don't look like the Yankees, or at least they didn't until today. As if the Mets needed another outfielder, they traded for Shawn Green. It looks like the Mets are slowly turning into the Yankees. In case no one has noticed, the Yankees are either loved or hated. If you are a Yankees fan, you love the all-star team and the winning. If you hate the Yankees, it's because of the all-star team and the winning. Please stop buying a championship. Does it really mean anything if you buy the best players?
