I’m a Met’s fan. There is perhaps no team in pro sports which embodies everything that is wrong with the world today. The Mets are famous for having enormously expensive rosters, with lots of glitz and glamor, and then not quite delivering for their fans.  It therefore gives me the warm and fuzzies to see this sign on the wall at Citi (bailout) Field in New York:

A group of over-paid specially privileged builders taking on a project to build a taxpayer subsidized stadium for a bunch of over-paid under-performing ballplayers. The Met’s slogan used to be something like, “Baseball Fever, Catch It.” What should their new slogan be?
