I think Wilpon has wanted to turn this organization into the Brooklyn Bums for a long time. They used to lose out to the Yankees a lot too. At least Doubleday knew enough to get out. This was and probably still is a National League City, but the Wilpons don't get it. I totally agree with your article.

They are too corporate in my mind, rather than building a winning team. McClivane was the best gm the mets ever had, but he did not want to do the paper trail, he was an expert at talent evaluating, building the minor league development, and making trades to acquire young talent a la David Cone.

As much as we blame Omar Minaya, who while I think isn't that good but isn't that horrible either, and Jerry Manuel it comes down to Ownership in the end. Yes, I think the Mets will soon be back in contention for the playoffs but they will never be as good as they can be with the Wilpons at the helm. And its frustrating that no matter how many times we switch GMs and Managers we'll always be stuck with the incompetent Wilpons (at least probably for many years to come). Great article.
