Oh boy, Craig, your blog today reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield's immortal classroom response to the business plan for opening a store in Back to School. Pay off the unions. Pay off the mob. I generally hate remakes - they remind me of Oswald Spengler's prediction of western cultural exhaustion in The Decline of the West - but I would love to see Danny DeVito as Omar Minaya replay that scene and describe how the stadium deal got done. . Be honest now. Wouldn't you pay nine bucks to go see that?

Hey Craig, why don’t you worry about that 45 million you owe D.Lowe, the Pitcher you bid against yourself for.
Buh Bye

many reasons beside being ” mobbed up “, LIKE NON PAYMENT OF TAXES AND MANY ,MANY OTHER REASONS.

You wonder if that $51 million couldn’t be used to make that $36 million go away quietly.

How about 141 billion to CitiBank? Oliver Perez? Even Citi Field? Fuhgeddaboudit. Or as Hyman Roth would say, “Small potatoes.”
