There May Be Consequences For Trading An "Idiot"

I remember one trade on June 15th, 1977, which touched off a Firestorm here in N Y C. Yes, It was painful and done out of a sense of Cheapness, from a franchise which collected money at the gates, but did little in the sense of spending any money:

OK, their home base is Shea Stadium, home to MANY Ownership Conspiracies. The 1st Seaver Trade, sent Mets Fans running for the exits, and staying clear of Mets Games. The team was hideous to watch. There were about 6K fans, on the night after the Seaver Trade;

Attendance was down, dramatically. In those days, Stub Hub didn't exist. Mets Scalpers went on to become Yankees Scalpers;

I don't see this being a problem in Boston, as Stub Hub will be used, regularly this year;

Is Epstein a Genius "Boy Wonder"? Last Year, a deal for Broken Down Mitchell List Member, Eric Gagne', almost blew up in the Sox Faces. Many of us suffered from Gas, watching Gagne' "Pitch";

Whenever a Marquee Player is traded for someone lesser, it has consequences. Often, the Gate Suffers;

The Sell-Out Streak may fall short;

NOT a good sign for a Team and the businesses which depend on the team;

AND pitching is needed, especially the 'pen. THAT was NOT Addressed @ The Deadline;

BARF!

Later!
