First to start, the specifics:
-Running BBM09
-Coach mode (I generally suck with anything higher then this)
-2008 Mets are my team
-Monthly updates plus updates about trades and other important team events.
-I'll create Citi Field in 2009
-I'll try to not take advantage of the AI too much, through trades and signings. Rules would bore me, I'll just use rule of thumb here.
-I'll be using HGM's rosters

March 2008
The Mets top executives held a closed-door meeting about the team's financial troubles. Omar Minaya, the team's general manager, was surprisingly not invited to this meeting.
Fred Wilpon, co-owner of the Mets with his son Jeff, spoke first:
"People, we have a tremendous problem on our hands. The team isn't winning and we aren't making a dime. I think the fans are sick of people who they can't even relate to making the team's decisions. We need a John Everyman to take over this team."
The meeting went on, and was just generally always a boring executive with a boring graph leading a boring discussion. Nothing exciting was talked about, until Fred Wilpon called in an intern with a phone book. He flipped through the pages a bit, and then appeared to have found his page. Another intern wheeled in a projector,and Fred ripped the page out of the phone book and projected it for all to see.
We read the page:
EVERTS,GLORIA
JOHN P. EVERTS
JUAN EVERTSAN
TERESA EVERY
EVERY, BOB C.
ROBERT E. EVERYMAN
EVERYMAN, JOHN P.
JOHN EVERYMAN
EVERYMAN, JUAN
We saw that he was dead serious about hiring a John, or even maybe a Juan Everyman.
