More crazy stuff about the metsonline.net:  The link to Slate shows a link to a page that is also gone,  apparently also asked by MLB to not post their rude message to “cease and desist”.  What a bunch of bozos.  They don’t deserve to be in charge of baseball.  They’re obviously clueless about the help such sites as this give them.   Clueless also about baseball itself  apprently.

Instapundit.com:: “July 30, 2002 BASEBALL TO FANS: UP YOURS! As reader Bill McCabe puts it: “On the eve of a strike, Major League Baseball shows its love for the fans by sending a Cease & Desist Order to a fan site dedicated to the New York Mets.” They don’t think of ’em as fans, Bill. They think of ’em as sheep to be fleeced, just the way the folks at the RIAA and MPAA think of music and movie overs. UPDATE: Slate has picked up on the story.
