MFYs vs. MFPs (OMG)

[metirish]

Seven home runs hit there tonight.....I'm rooting for seven more tomorrow...

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Seven homers and ten runs scored. That says something, but I have no idea what.

[Guest themetfairy]

="Swan Swan H":phhzp2ou]If the Mets can't win it on their own they don't deserve it. I want the Yankees to lose in a humiliating fashion 162 times a year, whether they are playing the Phillies, the Braves or The Manson Family All-Stars.[/quote:phhzp2ou] An instant classic!

Rockin' Doc May 22 2009 08:02 PM

Seven home runs tonight and I believe 75 in the first 20 games at Yankee Stadium III. It's like hitting in a wind tunnel.

Elster88 May 22 2009 08:07 PM

WTF? How many people want the Phillies to do well this series? I may have missed something but we're chasing them in the standings. I hope you guys are kidding around. After the Phillies sweep and the Mets lose the division by 1 game again it's going to be rough reading this thread. Too much Yankee-penis envy going on!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Yankees are dicks, but I certainly don't envy them.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I guess I want the Yankees to win, but only in in games where the Phillies batters rough up their staff the point that they are demoralized and the Phillies are worn out from scoring so much, only to lose in the end, sending them into a spiral of depression.

And if the Phillies wanted to send a statement by sending Jeter on his butt with each and every pitch, I'm OK with that.

[Guest Kong76]

E88: WTF? How many people want the Phillies to do well this series? <<<

I think I was pretty clear, but the Mets need to win. So far, so good.

[metirish]

It's too early for this shit....OK I'm going to post this for no good reason other than it's funny.....

[Fman99]

How polarizing!

I continue to root for the comet.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I know the first pig is supposed to be Waldman. But what's with the pig in the Yankee uniform? They even have him wearing a little cap. That's funny.

[G-Fafif]

Someday the Phillies will go back to sucking and what they do on a given evening will be of little interest.

The MFYs are the MFYs. It's always a good night when the MFYs lose. And the Mets win.

[ashie62]

YS3 now on pace for 332 HR's...or the wiffle ball count in the backyard over any given weekend.

The Met fan Yankee hate should have no bearing on where you live. At least not in Morris Couny Bumfuck NJ

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I'd like the Yanks and Phils to split the next two games. I hope each game goes at least 15 innings so that each team completely decimates their bullpens before the weekend concludes. I further hope that during the two extra inning affairs there are so many home runs hit that MLB is concerned that they will run out of baseballs.

[Theoldmole]

OK, I've finally figured out how I feel about this series. I'm glad that one team is losing, and I try not to think about any other part of the equation.
