The Yankees could spend $250,000 on a backup catcher and Lupica would chastise them for trying to "buy" a World Series.
In 2007, the Mets had the highest payroll in the NL and they couldn't even make the playoffs.
Their predictable response is to try to get better by spending more money.
They have now bought ... jeez, I can't even keep track ... Pedro, Beltran, Santana, Delgado, the lefty closer guy ...
What a bunch of soulless mercenaries, right?
Does Lupica avoid similar criticism and endlessly praise the lovable Mets?
You bet!:
"Did they overpay for Santana? You bet. So does everybody when the player they want and the player they need and the one they think can put them over the top is sitting right there, practically begging to come to their team."
Santana, by the way, is now the highest-paid pitcher in baseball history.
Santana, by the way, is a choker with zero Championship rings.
