The Sad State of Being a Mets Fan

The Sad, Sad Saga of Your Average N.Y. Mets Fan «

There is nothing funnier yet, at the same time, sadder than a New York Mets fan. It’s like watching a six-car pileup where everyone dies, but everyone is dressed as Star Wars characters, so part of you laughs.

The Mets have been playing "second-fiddle" to the Yankees for a long time. Even when the Yankees were pathetic in the mid to late 80's and early 90's, the Mets were not able to get top billing in the media. Looks like, with the Yankees set to open a new ballpark next season, that trend will continue.

Well, the Mets are opening a new ballpark too....

And we have had our times. In the mid to late 80's NY was a Mets town, NOT a Yankees town. In 2006, the Mets got about equal coverage. But it's not common. I think it's totally stupid that the Yankees are the media darlings, but what can you do. At this point, I don't care what the media thinks, or what anyone else thinks. I think this team is a playoff caliber team. And we all know that if they get there, anything can happen.

Lets Go Mets!
