Plenty of people rip on the Mets. It's a regular old pastime in Philadelphia, a tradition handed down from generation to generation. But one person you'd probably not expect to rip into the Mets players is their owner, Fred Wilpon.
In a recent story for the New Yorker, Wilpon comments negatively about a handful of his star players. Jose Reyes has had everything wrong with him and won't get Carl Crawford money, David Wright is not a superstar, and Carlos Beltran is a shell of his former self.
Nothing that is entirely off base, and the Wright comment is more a question of what do you define a superstar to be, but it's always enjoyable to see New Yorkers attacking their own.
