See I just think that's silly. They haven't even played each other often enough in
meaningful games to become serious rivals such as the Dodgers and Yankees were, or Dodgers and Giants were (in NY). They've had one World Series matchup and each year a couple meaningless regular season games. Whoopi-ding!
I just don't get the hate Mets & Yankees fans have for one another. Now as a Yankees fan I hate the Bosox, and as a Cowboys fan I hate the Redskins -- I mean vitriolic hate! But the mets? meh!
Well maybe I can see the Mets hating the Yanks' success. But there's no reason for Yankee fans to hate the Mets. They're no threat. If anything, I have pity for them.
