    This blew me away: Forbes

    I got this in the email from my favorite Mets email chain, a blog entry from Forbes.com.

    http://blogs.forbes.com/sportsmoney/...-under-wilpon/

    And while the breakdown of the Mets' management issues are fairly accurate and to the point, one line really stood out for me:

    "Baseball's second most leveraged team."

    Wow. Apparently, the Mets aren't really owned by the Wilpons, but by investment banks. All of which is scary enough...but at the same time, kind of empowering. How? A season or two of empty seats at CitiField and low ratings on SNY might force a sale.

    Wilpons have done their part so far for 2010. Performance on the field (or lack thereof) may help as well.
