...And Mr. Met is a Delinquent Dad

An AP story floated over the weekend stating that the Mets were $1 million in arrears in paying their rent. When you consider that the Mets pay around $10 M per annum based on revenue and attendance for the right to call Shea Stadium home with its hokey big red apple from and frequent flyovers, isn't this oversight comparable to your owing the water company an extra $10 after they read your meter and find that their initial estimates were low?

As George Thorogood once said (in a great song stolen from John Lee Hooker), "She busy a-hollerin' about the front rent, she'll be lucky to get any back rent. She ain't gonna get none of it."
