If you’re looking to do something nice to help lift people’s spirits today, hug a Mets fan. Trust me, a Mets fan needs the emotional uplift a hug can provide. They are a pathetic breed — maybe the most pathetic in sports these days.
Mets fans are so low these days that they count a Phillies World Series loss as a win for their squad of chokers.
Hug a Mets fan today; they need it.
Little Scotty from the blog More Hardball dubbed the Phillies loss “Christmas in November.” He mentioned how happy and elated he was that the Phillies got to their second straight World Series, but came up a Hideki Matsui bat short of back-to-back titles.
Umm, dude, the Phillies were still playing, something your pathetic team hadn’t done since June. Oh, and the team that won the championship was your cross-city rival. Have fun walking down Times Square among the Yankee faithful.
Seriously, Mets fans rooted for the Yankees? That would be like me rooting for the Patriots to beat the Giants in the Super Bowl two years ago. Didn’t happen. I didn’t give a flying Beltran who won that game. Either way, it hurt, because I am an Eagles fanatic.
As pitiful as it sounds to root for the Yankees, the Mets fans have displayed even lower levels of self worth during the postseason. They rejoiced when they discovered that Kobe Bryant grew up a Mets fan while living in Lower Merion, Penn.
A Flushing, NY, Mets fan site called Kobe being a Mets fan “an added bonus” to the Phillies losing to the Dodgers in Game 2 of the LCS. There are numerous other examples of this in the blogosphere.
That is how pathetic the Mets fandom has become these days. They are lower than Clippers fans these days. I honestly feel sorry for them, having been there myself in the mid 90s.
Do your good deed for the day and hug a Mets fan. They are desperate for attention and affection.
I would say, “Hug a Philly Fan ” for disappointing World Series they lost to New York!
Watch the tickettape parade today…It’s going to be grand! Let’s go New York!
Omg, stfu. I never seen anyone so happy about losing the world series.
Why be angry about losing the World Series. We won last year, were in it again this year, and have made the playoffs 3 straight years. All other 29 teams in baseball can’t say that.
Does anyone else see the irony in a Philly blogger blogging about the Mets and calling them pathetic??? The Mets obsession continues. Seriously, you can’t win or lose without talking about the Mets … and calling them pathetic! This is why we rooted for the Yankees. I bet today no Yankees mention the Mets in their WS speeches.
No philly fan would ever root for the Mets to win a WS, so why should they root for you (although, I must admit, a tiny part of me was hoping to see Pedro succeed). Despite what most people think about Mets fan being jealous of the Yankees, I find in most cases, thats not true. We’re just happy NY is #1. A win for the city is a win for all of us. There is no real rivaly with the Yankees. We only play them 6x a year, otherwise, we dont think about them. But, we hate the Phillies all season long. I’m sure the feeling is mutual.
First of all, you don’t know the difference between “there” and “their,” so you have no right being on the Internet.
Second of all, your beloved Phillies are the epitome of being losers. It took them 100 years to get one WS, so don’t take low blows at the New York Mets just because you can’t get passed the New York Yankees.
Thirdly, you wasted five minutes of my life with this piece. I never want to read your crap again.
Love,
None
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, oh god get a fucking life. you just lost the world series and calling the mets pathetic. read your own blog and see who is pathetic. This why i hate the phillies and the whole fucking city. what a douchebag. New york will always be #1 bitch
by the way fuck your retarded fataas city. New york #1
You phillies fans are pathetic! I cant believe I was even rooting for your team in the beginning of the world series. You are just jealous of the mets and the fans that they have. We only lost because of our injuries. I would like to see your team play without Utley, Howard, Werth, Ibanez and Lee and then tell me where you end up. All you phillies fans talk about is the mets, you should be talking about how you lost in the world series!
It’s just too easy to get Mets fans riled up these days. Dude, I’ll give you the fact that injuries decimated your team … this year. What about the choking that took place the last two seasons?
