   Fire Jerry!

   oh wait… I get confused with new Jerry, same as the old Jerry.

   anyway, quick off the top of my head:

   1) adjust the walls a bit. Pull in RCF (death valley) and adjust the great wall to 8′
   2) retire some numbers with great fanfare.
   3) see if I could get reyes extended now.

   Tough question
   but here are my ideas

   1. extend Reyes to a “fair” deal
   2. bring back some retired Mets traditions – i.e Banner Day and Old Timers Day and please retire # 13 !
   3, Lastly be honest with the fans – if payroll is to be reduced admit it , if we are in the middle of a rebuilding process – admit it !!
   oh as a added bonus – seat priced would be slashed

   Pretty much agree with Stick & Rusty.

   1. Create a grander Mets culture. – Retire a couple of players. Maybe 1 a month for the year next year? Hernandez, Doc, Piazza, Maybe Mazz, or Mookie.

   2. Get rid of the black walls & black jerseys/hats. Outfield wall would be Blue, I want to see the dark gray road jerseys and home white or white pin stripes. Blue Met hat’s only.

   3. Roster moves, including extending Reyes, moving Pelf & Beltran and consider extending or moving krod.

   1. Brag to all my friends
   2. Get drunk/party
   3. Sign myself as the new left fielder. I think it would be fun.

   I really am no expert on big business or owning a ML baseball team. I’m assuming my first 3 things would be far different than a zillionnaire buying the team would or should do.

   So my 3 things:
   - Sign Reyes
   - Rethink those outfield walls, at least minimum that Mo Zone.
   - Spend whatever it took to field a competitive Mets team sooner rather than later – money be damned.

   Of course, that’s all fantasy so it will be interesting to see what this franchise does going forward.
