If things don’t turn around, this could be one long, expensive summer around here.

When I pointed out that the Mets are 22nd in pitching with a 4.74 ERA, Mets owner Steve Cohen — taking time out of the trading day for his other job, no less — had a response ready.It’s nice that Cohen keeps his sense of humor through this awful start for the Mets, who have been arguably even worse than the at times hard-to-watch Yankees. Injuries are a story for both local teams, but there’s no excuse when you’ve spent a combined $800-million-plus in total, taxes included.

It’s a positive sign that at least on the surface — I am not privy to the internal meetings unfortunately — Cohen understands the rhythms of a long season and seems unfazed by the sort of start no one predicted after he ran the tab to a record $377M, plus $109 million in tax. He’s allegedly a tough, hard-charging boss, but publicly he remains a pussycat.

I tried to give equal time to Hal Steinbrenner, but it’s probably easier to reach the president. Anyway, Steinbrenner’s team at least entered Monday on the correct side of .500 and he’s spending close to a couple hundred million less. Steinbrenner is in for $295 million, plus another $30 million or so in tax.
