MFYs vs. MFPs (OMG)

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Tied up, runner on first, none out. Lidge blows. It again.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Extra innings in the Bronx, which always offers the opportunity for someone to overextend themselves and prematurely end their season.

="John Cougar Lunchbucket"]How about when BatMags and Rogers danced on the dugout to Cotton Eye Joe? That was something to see.

Who made me a Yankee fan?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Rooting for them this weekend. It's all or nothing - once you taste the blood your soul turns to dust.

It's those devilish paradoxes that define your worth as a fan. I am a Met fan because I can stomach rooting for the Yankees whenever it is in my rooting interest to do so.

Gotta root against the Phillies. It's more important for the Mets to make the playoffs than it is for the Yankees to miss them.

I'm sure heads will explode by my saying this, but the Mets will never be able to even out the subway series if both teams do not appear in the World Series together again. Not saying I root for the Yankees in any way shape or form (unless they are playing teams that effect the Mets standings). Someday, though, I'd like to see that rematch.

Benjamin Grimm May 24 2009 04:04 PM

I'd rather see the Mets get their 27th World Championship before the Yankees win another. Since I'm 45 years old already, it would take quite a remarkable run for it to happen in my lifetime.

The comet never hit so I lost.
