Gotta admit, I read Greg's post in Faith and Fear and he mentioned your post (with a link) along with Dana Brand and MetsGrrl.

I wrote more about Madoff and the Mets on my blog as well. When operating in a vacuum (no information from the Mets), we are all left to guess. Richard Joel's letter was very sobering, well done, and settled the issue -- once -- and for all. Thank you for sharing that.

Hi Dan,

I think you nailed it. Honesty, integrity, the truth is all that's missing here. Otherwise, it's perfect day for a ballgame.

I have to admit, listening to it (live) on the way home yesterday made me wonder a bit about "what 2010 might be like" and also "maybe I've been too harsh" in my opinion about the team.

Which I think was their objective. Spin.

And then it dawned on me. Didn't we hear something like this the day after the 2007 season ended?

And didn't we hear something like this the day after Randolph was fired?

I want one thing from the Mets organization (and I will never get it):

The Truth.

Too bad. They just cannot be honest with themselves or their fans. I wrote about it on my blog Mets At the Fork in the Road.

Again, bravo, good post.
