The Mets Are Reeeeaally Trying To Make Some Money Here

The Mets have this really really annoying habit of losing and letting me down, so when the NY Times ran  a story about the team being sold I wasn't surprised they were only minority shares of ownership. I was also unsurprised at the lame list of perks included such as access to Mr Met....in exchange for a small fee of 20 mil. Who wouldn't make that investment!?

 Oh but wait there's more!

for 20 mil you also get a business card with your name on it and everything, plus a parking spot! True it would probably be better if as a minority owner you were actually entitled to...well...you know, go to games but just because you own something doesn't mean you can see it perform for free right?!?

Here are some ideas they could use to sweeten the pot:
  • courtesy drug mule, responsible for drug runs foreign and domestic.
  • free healthcare provided by Mets health and training personnel.
  • guided tour of Queens by spanish Jose; unfortunately not Reyes :*-(
  • complimentary financial advice and advisment free with additional investment!
I mean, they're offering such a sweet package already. I don't see how anyone can turn all this down. I'm sur these ownership shares will sell like hot cakes, by 2012 the Mets will be rolling in dough!
