naiwf 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 The only sport where I don't really see this happening in NYC is hockey. Rangers fans are always Rangers fans and Islanders fans are always Islanders fans and winning 4 straight Stanley Cups didn't do anything to change the perception that the franchise from LI is "inferior". Nobody actually likes the Devils except Barron, right? Pretty much. Same thing with the Nets. Even with the Devils winning multiple Stanley Cups and the Nets making it to back to back NBA Finals they still have about 7 fans each. I think that could change though if the Nets do end up moving to Brooklyn and the Knicks still suck as much as they do right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 Does it seem weird to anyone else that Yankees fans just seem to magically disappear when they are having a bad day or bad series? This was a nationally televised game and there wasn't one comment the whole time. The Yankees dominated half the game. We're sorry we didn't decide to to leave our two cents on this page, and then hear you guys complain about too many Yankee comments. And being a Met fan makes you a better fan? I don't quite understand. The Mets were the most popular team in the 80's, so it's not like you're rooting for the Colorado Rockies here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 Big surprise, Yankee fans are being pissy. It is such a change from their normal attitude. the Yanks could win a game 12-1 and they would still complain about giving up one run. Hell, A-Rod could go 4-5 in a 12-1 game with 5 RBI's and the fans would still boo him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naiwf 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 Jaret Wright sucks. At least he's consistent. Dude flat out stole $21 million from Steingrabber's pockets. A-Rod's having a great first inning also, with his knees buckling on a 3rd strike call with a RISP and 2 out, and then having a ball go right by him from Toronto's leadoff man.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2006 The Mets end up with another Grand Slam this week as Jose Valentin gives them a 4-0 lead. It's about time we started getting some hits with the bases loaded. A-Rod just lost a ball in the "twilight". LMAO. And follows it up with an error on a routine grounder. LMAO x2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2006 I hate West Coast road trips. Though I'm going to try to make it to a game at Safeco Field at least once in my life. As for that Mike Lowell rumor, I'm torn. Peavy's young and the rotation could use all the youth it can get, but on the other hand I'm a member of the Mike Lowell Fan Club and he looks exactly like my brother-in-law so......

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted July 22, 2006 What the hell is up with A-Rod? He's got an error and two other misplays in this game so far. It's the early innings.

The 'Stros are in a funk right now, but I fully expect them to do some type of deal before the deadline...and if not, at least we'll have a good draft pick next year. And I mean, good for the Mets. It's about time they had a competitive team. Is Mo Vaughn still on the payroll? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2006 It wasn't hit in the 7th inning or later, so it doesn't count. What's up with Mark Buehrle lately? He gave up a 5-run inning to the Rangers tonight and has an ERA above 10 his last three starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
