My nearly-30-year-old son (the erstwhile poster Lenny Harris) was walking down the street the other day with his Mets hat on and some random guy looked at him and said "Mets suck" for no apparent reason. Guy was clearly a MFY fan. My son stopped and said something to the effect of "actually, they don't suck. They're in first place. You could have said that many other years and been correct. It's the third-place Yankees who kind of suck this year." Makes a father proud.
