A lot of this is my perception--I'm not prepared to provide footnotes--and that's why I'm seeking the opinions of others. Do you think that these guys, and others, are pro- or anti- Mets or are they, as has been said, just being provocative? Phillips appears to want the Mets to suck...perhaps it's because the Mets fired his sorry ass and/or so his former deputy, OM, doesn't surpass him by winning a WS. (Phillips recently predicted that the Braves would pass the Mets while the Mets were on the west coast--how'd that turn out?) Olney covered the Yankees and wrote a book about them. I think his daily blog is required reading but my perception is that he minimizes the Mets successes and over-emphasizes anything the Yankees do. E.g., the morning after Beltran's brilliant catch in Houston, he didn't mention it at all.
