Giving the Mets’ New Ballpark a Bad Name

Lately, Mets fans have endured two hideous Septembers, which, in a weird way, makes Citigroup and the Mets ideal partners — “both entities had collapses,” Oddo said. And while he professes great admiration for the Mets’ general manager, Omar Minaya, Oddo notes that management of bank and ball team have something in common: both retain their jobs.

The first step is the name. The Mets can do without the $20 million a year, since all they would do with the loot is recruit some other ghastly bullpen. Better they start all over, on the cheap, like the rest of us are learning to do. With apologies to Ronald Reagan: Mr. Wilpon, tear down this sign.
