="OlerudOwned"]Wright getting MVP chants. In the 3rd game of the season. On the road.

wright was getting those chants in the first game.

Those may have been road games, but they were home crowds.

Given the low expectations for the Marlins, and the huge number of transplants who live in Florida, I have a feeling that a lot of the games played in Miami will have more fans rooting for the visitors than for the Marlins.

I've never attended a Mets game in Miami but did go to one in Montreal back in 1998 or 1999. It was quite the pro-Mets crowd and very surreal to be such a vocal presence in the enemy's park.

I went to a Mets series in Montreal in 1986. After the Saturday night victory, the Mets fans exiting the stadium were chanting, "Let's Go Mets" and "We're Number One!" It was, indeed, surreal.

I went to a Mets - Red Sox game in Fenway and after Benitez gave up a game-winning hit, to Daubach I think, a guy wearing a Piazza shirt got chased out of the place by two Red Sox fans screaming at him they they were gonna f**k him in the ass the way Piazza likes it.

Disturbing but not quite surreal.

Obviously Fenway has it's share of gay ruffians.
