A Yankee fan that hates the Mets

Jerome Preisler at the YES Network gets me a little heated with a few comments he makes about the Mets:

"Thank God for the New York Mets," I was saying to the trio of Met fans around me at the Fellow Author's party. "Now that the Yankees don't have the Red Sox to kick around any more, they need to do it to somebody. And I only hope — hope — we get another Subway Series so your team can be exposed as the miserable pretenders they are. Because the Yanks getting stuck with Kelly Stinnett in their lineup was the only reason they lost that series at Shea during interleague play. In fact, about the only teams the Mets can beat outside the Cub Scouts of America Wiffleball League, assuming one exists, are those other weak, pathetic, sub-five hundred excuses for ballclubs in the National League. And while I'm at it, I'm sick and tired of all the other cities in this country and their stinking baseball teams. I want October baseball in New York City, and nowhere but New York City! For all I care, if rest of the fans in country doesn't like it, they can just go . . . "

All I can think is bad thoughts right now. I dn't even know how to react to comments like this. But then again this is probably a Yankee fan who can't fathom the idea that there is more than one team in New York.

If I could take him on a time travel back o the late 60's to the late 80's I would shown him a Baseball world ruled by a New York team, but not his beloved Yankees. This was the time of the Mets.

But what else can you expect from a prson that roots for a team from Baltimore and then for the life of them couldn't decide on a name. What's it going to be? Highlanders, Yankee-Highlanders, or the Yankees? Or how about we just call you Red Sox part two? Let's ask Clemens, Damon, or even your great Babe Ruth, just to name a few?

Sorry went off there.
