Meet the new Mets owner: David Einhorn

Should Met fans get excited, or should they roll their eyes?

Depends on who you ask, I guess, but the New York Mets have a new minority owner, David Einhorn who is the President of Greenlight Capital Inc., and a 10% owner in Microsoft, who tried to get the head of Microsoft, Scott Ballmer canned, when he said Microft ran a "Charlie Brown operation."

Well, Mr. Einhorn, welcome to the Mickey Mouse operation of Major League Baseball!

Einhorn, a former winner of the 2006 World Series of Poker, agreed to a 20-25 % stake in the Mets, worth $200 million. It was initially believed that the Mets were shopping 49 % of the team as late as Monday, but those views have obviously changed.

According to WFAN and SI reporter Jon Heyman, Einhorn could take full control of the Mets, if the Wilpon's are forced to leave the franchise due to enormous financial losses or if they lose their case to Irving Pichard.
