Just when I get past the fans' and the medias' delusional idea of Albert Pujols playing for the Mets, they come up with another asinine idea: Mark Cuban, part owner of the Mets.
Be real, people.
As soon as the news broke the other day of the Wilpon's possibly selling a minority stake in the team (20-25 percent), the Internet went crazy with talk of Cuban snatching it up.
My question is why?
I've got nothing against Cuban, but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who buys 20-25 percent of a team and then takes a back seat, not participating in day-to-day operations.
Plus while some fans call him passionate, I think he may also be just a touch crazy.
After hearing about all the shenanigans he's pulled in Dallas, I can just see Cuban running out onto the field, ripping a base out of the ground, and tossing it at an umpire because he disagrees with a call.
As entertaining as that would be to see, the Mets don't need that kind of crazy. After all, they already have Wally Backman in the system.
Finally, when was the last time Cuban's team has won a championship?
That's right, never.
