Mets fans, who tend to lean mostly Dem, gotta be completely pissed off at this idiot Mayor deBlasshole for his interference in the sale of the NY Mets to billionaire Steve Cohen, who's hoping to save the sad-sack team from its inglorious history of woeful failure.

Full Disclosure: I'm a Yankees fan, so I just have to laugh at all this, but even so I have some affection for my fellow NY'ers who happen to be Mets fans ... you voted for the putz .. TWICE .. Now go home and git yer Shine Box !!! /laughs

If it were old man Steinbrenner, he'd have told the idiot Mayor to take a fk'n hike, and that would've been the end of it .....

It wouldn’t have anything to do with the last name being Cohen, would it?

Given the status of NYC on the “U-Haul Index” for move-outs, Wilhelm ought to consider it fortunate that anyone wants to make any investment in NYC.

Notice what the pathetic De Blasio spends his time on, with the city’s crime rate exploding, people leaving, and eventually probably businesses leaving as well. I don’t actually understand why Cohen even wants to invest in anything in NYC or must US cities for that matter, given the lunatics running them. He should consider buying an English soccer team.

“...he opposed the idea of a hedge-fund billionaire buying a local team...”

At least he’d keep the grounds neat and trim.

He really thinks he is King of the city. And his methods are those of classic graft: Weaponized regulations and permitting.

J-Rod is still interested. Get J-Rod back in and Hunter, the smartest guy Democrats know, to close the deal and De Blasio is sure to say yes!


Cuomo: Tell Hunter to tell Arod I want 2%.

Blasio is nuts and a communist trying to control the free market.

This is a case where I hope both sides destroy each other.

DeBlasio is singlehandedly destroying NYC, but Steve Cohen deserves to be in jail.....he’s straight out of the mold of Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken from the 1980s a Wall Street crook who because of his wealth bought his way out of jail...

“Cohen’s former hedge fund, S.A.C. Capital Advisors, pleaded guilty to insider trading charges in 2013 and paid $1.8 billion in fines. Eight traders from S.A.C. were either convicted or pleaded guilty to similar charges, but Cohen, 64, reached a civil deal with SEC that reprimanded him for failing to oversee his people properly and agreed to a two-year ban from managing outside money.”

I am hoping after this election, the voting dividing line between NYC and the rest of the state will be even more red vs blue than it is now; followed by a move to cut NYC off of NY State, leaving them their two senators and getting two GOPers for the State without NYC.

Sounds like bigotry to me...Cohen is Jewish, right?
