Meet the New York Mets. You’ve heard of them, you say? Well, they are my hometown team. I choose to despise the Bronx Stankees. Basically because they are the Evil Empire. I attempted to watch the 2008 All-Star Game but was so utterly disgusted by the Yankees ass-kissing fest that I couldn’t stomach the introductions, never mind the actual game. Why does the media kiss Yankee ass? They are in THIRD place SIX games behind first-place Boston. It makes no sense.
Did you see the NL East standings? Who was first? That’s right. My New York Mets!!! They have won 10 games in a row. They have not claimed that since 1991!! They came from behind twice last night and beat the Reds. They truly are Amazin’. I was ecstatic when they finally kicked Willie to the curb. Willie, a former Yankee. Ugh. It looks as though putting new Manager Jerry Manuel in charge has done wonders for the team.
Lets go Mets! Let’s Go Mets!!

for real, Willie who? Take your attitude and no facial hair rulz back the Bronx where they belong!
July 18, 2008 at 9:47 am
I completely agree, starbuck. I didn’t even know that shiz until last night when they mentioned it on the broadcast about the facial hair!

I’m a Yankees fan, SinRoo. And I was completely put off by the Yankee ass-kissing fest as well. I mean, it wasn’t meant to be the Yankees show. It was the All Star game. It should have been a mutual appreciation of all of the baseball legends at once. It’s like they wanted to combine the AS game with Old Timers Day. Seriously? Boring.
What was up with that Steinbrenner tribute bullshit anyway? Christ. Does anybody truly like Steinbrenner? Anybody?
Isn’t it also the last year at Shea as well? Or am I losing my mind? Where was the mention of that?
So, FYI, you aren’t alone in this.

My cousin named one of her twins Shea. Seriously. That is all.
No wait - go Cubbies, who are also in first.

I will miss Shea Stadium so much. Let’s go mets!
July 18, 2008 at 11:11 am
@Bethville: YES!! It’s ALSO the last year at Shea! AND the Mets are actually doing great. They’re in first place. The Yankees? NOT SO MUCH!
July 18, 2008 at 12:43 pm
I love you, Sin, but I root for* the Yankees. I can claim ignorance of the sloppy kisses to the Yankees at the Allstar Game (no tv! more time for internet!), but I’d like to clarify that I do agree that the Yankees are rather evil.
And that’s why I like them. Kinda like Chuck Bass.
July 18, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Damn it. I forgot the asterik comment.
*”root for” does not equal “am at The Mayor of Bethville’s level of fandom”, however. She is much more knowledgeable about these sorts of things than I.

go Dodgers? No? ok.
July 18, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Ugh, you said it, the yankee ass munching was completely out of control. More so than usual, and it’s usually pretty bad. And if yankee stadium is that glorious, why do they need a new one?
Let’s go METS!!! They were like tequila shots last night: you could not keep them down!
July 18, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Love for the Cardinals? No? Just me then? Okay.
Here’s a picture you might enjoy, Sin. It’s a terrible picture of me at Busch Stadium in one of my prized shirts, given to me by an ex. (In case you can’t read it, it says “Real Women Don’t Date Yankees Fans.”)

The Yankee ass kissing that took place during the ASG was ri-fucking-diculous! On that we agree.
es-ki-mo, since I know you can’t say anything nice about the Mets (or Cards, of course) come sit by me.
July 18, 2008 at 7:10 pm
@Sin: Well, we all know what happened last year when the Mets were doing well.
Ooh, snap.
@nadarine: Yes!
July 22, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Yay for other Mets fans (even if I’m days late to this posting party).
