because we're on a ny jets message board and i dont typically talk baseball on a football forum...and also because there used to be a good mets fan run board that was shut down by the MLB and now all i have is amazinz.com which is absolute crap... and trolling lol i have been at this forum since it started...im far from a troll.... ive been reading the mets and yankees related threads this year...and a lot of the points made by yankee fans around here are all contradictory and one sided points....and it just portrays the majority of the yankee fanbase.... and i despise the yankees not because of their franchise....because i have no problem saying the yankees are the most successful franchise in all of sports and my hat goes off to the yankees history world series wins....the yankees are the model franchise, all teams try to live up to... its the yankees fanbase whom i cant stand
The Mets ARE a good team,i've said it a thousand times. heres a better approach. Why don't met fans praise their team without bringing up the Yankees. The whole existense of a Met fan is hating the Yankees which amounts to a baseball inferiority complex. It's ridiculous.
because as i just stated 75% of your fanbase brings up the yankees whenever a mets fan brings up the mets....because most of the yankee fanbase is a bunch of bangwagoners...its just my observation
Heh,any team that wins a lot is going to have bandwagon fans. Look at the patriots. If the Mets were to win the series this year,your gonna see a load of brand new Wright Jerseys everywhere you look. But most of the Yankee fanbase is bandwagon fans? Gimme a break man. That's pretty ridiculous. And you have it backwards,it's the Met fans that bring up the Yankees. Why would we need to bring up the Mets? You guys haven't won a championship in 20 years and your last shot at it was lost to us.
well i must be dillusional then...because the majority of the convos i have with yankee fans dont seem to go the way you just mentioned....but i dont expect any other answer.... anyway leading up to gametime, may the best team win and heres to an injury free good game....
Turk, I agree.... I don't hate the Yankees at all, in truth. It's the belligerent Yankee fans that I know that make me pray they fall on their faces. Of course, the Mets have their share of idiot fans too. From 1967 to 1972, I went to EVERY doubleheader the Mets AND Yankees played at home. Back in those days, that meant about 10 doubleheaders per team, 20 games a piece. I went to Mickey Mantle day.... yeah, a doubleheader. 8 minute standing O. Front row in the left field bleachers, right over the auxilary scoreboard. I also went to opening day for the Mets in '69. Seaver got rocked by Montreal, and one Expo pitcher hit a home run that bounced off the top of the right field wall before it went over. I think the Mets lost, something like 13-11. Why did I become a Mets fan? My uncles, constantly busting my balls about the Mets. Why didn't I post last year? Because I quit baseball. Entirely. The player strikes (or threats) the umpire strike, the way the YES network was shoved down my throat, Glavine's assinine comments as a player rep, telling us stoooopid fans how we don't understand the problems the poooor players have, the steroid scandal, making all the hallowed baseball records a sham, and making Cooperstown meaningless...... I could go on. The idiots like Gooden and Strawberry. I went 5 years without watching a single game. I was pissed. What brought me back? David Wright. He is a throw back guy. No roids. No huge ego. No drugs. So, deal with it.
How bad is the rain there? Have they said how long the delay would be? TJF - If for some reason the game doesnt get played tonight then either they will only play the game at the end of the year if it is needed for either team in the standings or if both teams have the same day off, it could be rescheduled for then. The game brings in tons of revenue so I cant see it never getting played.
Turk, just to throw my 2 cents into this convo, yes, there are plenty of the 26-2 Yankee fans, but if you have been reading Mets/Yankees fans, you will see that there are just as many Mets fans who are just as arrogant about their team. On this site, it really does go both ways. I cant tell you how many times I have started a thread about the Yankees that have quickly gone into an insult fest due to a Mets fans coming in and saying something. Just as I would expect a Mets fan to defend their team if someone started talking shit about them out of the blue, Yankee fans will do the same thing. And if you do read the threads, you will also know who the posters are who are really interested about discussing baseball and who are just in there to stir things up - from both sides.
No idea..from what I see and looking at the local forecasts and radar looks like the ts activity won't last long , but the damn showers pushing through N.

Looking at the doppler,it looks like the back end of the rain will pass the stadium in around 45 minutes.
How is Yankee stadium oriented? The post frontal winds will likely be blowing pretty good out of the west-nw tonight... Winds will be blowing out to right field
