Freddy Bender: Objection, Your Honor!
Judge Marva Munson: I’m going to allow it.
Heinz, the Baron Krauss von Espy: She spe-cif-i-cated a man who, though clever at making money, would be easily duped and controlled.
Freddy Bender: Objection, Your Honor!
Miles Massey: Shut up, Freddy. She’s allowing it.

Heinz, the Baron Krauss von Espy: Finally, a man whom she could herself brazenly cuckold until such time as she might choose to, uh – We would say, “faire un coup de marteau sur des fesses.” You would say, “make hammer on his fanny.”

The Wilpons are actually on a distinguished list. Castillo & Perez were a way more legit investment than old Bernie ever was. Of the mistakes herein, my opinion is that Castillo and Perez were the safer bet. @ least you could keep an eye on your investment, as opposed to blindly trusting Bernie Madoff-with-your-dough. I feel for ya Mets fans. I used to root for the Expos. This is the old double whammy; dud players and a franchise that is on shaky financial footing (the Expos’s stadium was also on dubious foundations as well; the roof fell off once, alas). This and like tragedies I know oh so well.

Actually, now that I think about it, negligent also works for that as well.
