I heard an interview with Nelson Figueroa. I cannot find any article on what
he said the difference was between the Mets and Phils. He said that there
were no pool tables and video games, etc. in the Phils clubhouse. And that
the Phils were all business. Which was different from the Mets' clubhouse.
Thank you Figgy for supporting my long stated contention that the Wilpons
have created a country club atmosphere. To me, the Wilpons believe their
team is a stable of race horses, to be pampered and coddled. Until the
Wilpons step aside from the day to day, this team will not succeed and
eventually not care if they win or lose.

There's no more well-appointed clubhouse in the majors than the one at
Yankee Stadium, but all that pampering and coddling hasn't seemed to
hurt them any on the field. If you spend enough money on talent,
none of this other stuff matters.
