No comment about Steinbrenner, but the Jets moving away from New York?
From central Manhattan, it takes ~15 minutes to reach the Meadowlands.
It is usually ~1 hour + to Shea, if I lived there you can guess where
I'd rather go to see a game.

Besides, if the Giants and Jets are no longer New York teams,
1) Why are they still the New York Giants/Jets,
2) Why is Ed Koch betting on these teams with mayors of Boston,
San Francisco, and Chicago (a bad thing to do in my opinion, it
only encourages gambling.)?

Of course, to be consistant, they should be the Irving Cowboys,
Foxboro Patriots, etc.

>	The Mets will win the pennant again this year - they have to

Hmm.  Sorry, but I think I'd expect the Expos.  After all, they lost
out twice to teams having "career years", so why not again?  Of
course, the Expos will lose to the Dodgers, who will then lose to
Detroit.  Ho hum, I guess I just ended the season and we can all
go home now.
