<b>Beat The Mets</b>

♫♪♯♫♭ <i>Meet the Mets! Meet the Mets! Step right up and beat the Mets! Bring your kiddies, and bring your wife! They'll beat the Mets to within an inch of their life! Because the Mets are really dropping the ball! They've got their backs up against the wall!</i> ♫♪♯♫♭

I would say the Wilpon's problem was thinking that getting into business with Bernie Madoff was a good idea, and all the overpricing and underpaying is so they can hold onto theiir bauble after having to pay out for Madoff's chicanery, but that would be just silly.
