^^^^^^^^^^
We are already sorry.

Has anyone in the NYC area seen T Harris play? He's UT bound. We're looking forward to seeing him in Orange!

We watch 'Mad Men' not stupid sports.

Ugly stroke, big that apparently shoots a lot of 3's, fist pumping/show-boating in a H.S. game...

Looks like a perfect 1st round draft-pick for the Knicks.

I take that back, many of us are Mets fans.

At least Doc helped lead the Mets to one WS title before his off the field issues arose; he still won more championships with the Yankees though, just saying...

We all know that Shea/Citifield is where baseball careers go to die....

Piazza, Glavine *cough...

Hey, if the Mets were a cycling team, maybe their name would be called RadioShack. :D

Yeah, he needs a quicker, more fluid release on his outside shot.

On the plus side he runs well for a big guy and supposedly is a good passer. He should be an impact player as a freshman.

Yeah there are exceptions, I meant it in a general sense so don't rain on my parade!

No, I'm agreeing with you.

Piazza and Glavine were supposed to get the Mets another World Series title but failed...

IMO, it's almost like team RadioShack (post-prime big names); maybe I'll be proven incorrect...

edit: Almost forgot about Pedro...

Maybe the fine Mets fans can help clarify the Mets/Yankees dynamic for a Twins fan - one of the asshats at work claims to be a Mets fan first, followed (in all of baseball) by being a Yankees fan second. Now, I'm of the opinion that, if you say you're a fan of both, you're not truly a fan of either - thoughts?

You tell him that your Uncle Pcad read that 'I'm a Mets fan first and a Yankees fan second' crap, spit out his coffee and uttered a string of salty epithets, and that anybody who ever uttered that in my presence would be DEAD to me. As anyone in NY would tell you.

I thought as much... if you want something that'll up your bile production even more, consider this - I once saw him cheer a player on his fantasy baseball roster when he hit a go-ahead home run against the Mets.

You want his address and likeness so you can send out the goons?

All I want is to lock myself onto our team leader's wheel near the front of that race Sunday and stay there for 90 minutes so if they need me to help chase those Axis boys down I can go to the point of the spear and put down some wattage. That's my role. Time to focus. I can suck just about any wheel if I focus hard enough. I can only help them if I'm up there.

Eff the stupid effing loser Mets. They suck.

If I wanted to waste even more time, I could dig up the posts in which Pcad publicly deliberated becoming a Yankees fan. I specifically recall because--as an SEC fan--the concept of sleeping with the enemy exploded my mind.

Then I considered how most New Yorkers probably only go to games as a social event anyway, and let it go.

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.

If we had to think before posting, this thread wouldn't have made it to page 2.
