This one has been bugging me since I read it, and I see it’s getting traction on the intertubes.  Bob Klapisch:

losing Reyes would be as devastating to the franchise as the Tom Seaver trade in 1977 – the last act of M. Donald Grant’s dying regime. The Wilpons are just as beleaguered, seemingly poised to deal not just Reyes, but Carlos Beltran, all in the name of reducing their massive debt.

via Klapisch: Jose Reyes feels great, not talking about his future – NorthJersey.com.

I disagree.  I think Reyes might be “Dykstra and McDowell” bad, but it’s not Franchise bad.

Trade Reyes and Wright and we can talk about June 1977.

Now the financial stuff…yeah that might be M. Donald Grant bad, but there’s only one Franchise.

You kids haven’t lived through the agony of a favored son leaving.  It’s bad.  But believe me: June 15, 1977 can’t be topped.

The Mets are offering plan-holders a pre-sale.

Like last year, I will not be sharing passwords because I feel that the rewards should go to those who earned them.

Gangbusters!
