They hate the Yankees too at leastE5 Yaz said:

This is a great typo.One Red Seat said:How could this happen? Madden is the smartest man alive & practically invented baseball. I figured he was just going to have his team all dress up in Halloween costumes, roast marshmallows & sing kumbaya & the Cubs would come back & win 4 straight.
As a New Yorker, I guess I dont consider Queens part of NY. They're harmless country bumpkins!E5 Yaz said:What part of NEW YORK confuses you?

Really? No ground balls you can think of?scottyno said:Carlos Gomez trade falling through was the best thing to ever happen to the Mets
Now THAT would really make this the perfect year for Mets fans.hbk72777 said:Wilpon looks like death
I'm honestly shocked by this bit of trivia. Would've thought it had happened before.Max Power said:I'm just disappointed that we're going to have the first ever World Series with two expansion teams. It's a sad day when the hopes for the original 16 are pinned on the Cubs.

If one team from NY has to win this is the RIGHT team. 1986 was eons ago and I don't find this group of players unlikable as other Mets teams have been (And managers)

Eons? It was like last night. I still hate the damn Cardinals for 1967. The Mets? They have a stupid stadium, stupid uniforms, stupid fans, and are within a subway ride of Yankee stadium. Fuck them. Unless they are playing the Yankees. They are so stupid they hired Bobby Valentine. Oh, wait.strek1 said:

DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:Anyone who has lived around the NYC area for any amount of time knows that the only other fans who hate the Yankees as much as Sox fans (and perhaps more due to proximity and the second class nature of the franchise in NY) are Mets fans. I was in the area during the '80s when the Mets were ascendant and the Yankees in decline and the latter delighted Met fans just as much as the former - much like we enjoy when the Yankees fail.
1986 sucked as a Sox fan but that Mets team was insanely talented and the Sox did themselves no favors in that series either (not Buckner but don't get me started about pitching Schiraldi against guys like Carter who had caught him or played along side him just six months before those games in spring training).
In short, I have no hate for the Mets and the Yankee fans who jumped on their bandwagon know in their hearts that they are the lowest character fans in the world so whatever. This team is fun and I am happy for guys like Colon, Collins and Wright, amongst others, who have taken a long road to get to the World Series.
I think a Mets/Royals World Series has the ingredients to be epic. I hope it goes seven because I fucking love baseball.

Jeez it must take a lot of energy to hang onto that much hate for that long. I was much more pissed at McNamara and Bob Stanley than Buckner or the Mets. Hell I remember it like last night too. Had a Hayride that night then back to the house for much drinking. People started leaving (Except for the Baseball fans - Most of which were MFY fans) . It was shock and awe when the bottom fell out. That needling went on for weeks. HOWEVER the 3 titles since then have really helped me get over it. If there were some players leftover from that Mets Team I can see wishing them bad luck but how many teams have we gone through since then? Let it go for the sake of your health. (Unless you're just tweaking here)
