I’m a sucker for all the catchy internet sports stuff. Whether it’s a chat or an article that starts with a number (“14 Things the Mets Must Do To Become Respectable”) and I’m all over them.
Another popular thing is surveys. I don’t know how to put a real survey up online, but here’s the one I would run here at MMO if I had the computer “skill set” to do so.
Select all that apply.
JEFF WILPON
o Not so bad. Well intentioned, gets bad rap.
o Bad owner, got AAA team exiled to Las Vegas.
o Nepotism pure and simple.
o Where do I sign up for the lynch mob?
FRED WILPON
o Old now, not worth complaining about.
o Bernie Madoff’s buddy – that says a lot
o Driving force for Citi (aka Debits) Field

MATT HARVEY
o Superstar pitcher albeit with a big mouth.
