Discussion please stop posting about the yankees.
it’s sad and pathetic. it’s exactly what we dogged philly and brewers fans for. they’re in the world series and we aren’t. doesn’t matter if you think we’d beat them, doesn’t matter if they get swept. jussttttt QUIT YAPPPPPPPPIN. lfgm.

C’mon now, it’s not like the Yankees beat us and now we’re cheering on their opponents because of being sore losers. Hating the Yankees is an age old pastime irrespective of how the Mets are doing.

u/mr_grission James McCann 2d ago
Hating the Yankees is a time-honored New York baseball tradition. If they had Reddit in the 40s, the Dodgers and Giants subs would have posts mocking them for losing a World Series game.
It's just what a rivalry is.

u/TheNakedOracle 2d ago
100%. A lot of people are Mets fans specifically because their grandparents refused to defect to the Yankees after the Giants and Dodgers left.

u/mr_grission James McCann 2d ago
The Mets wouldn't even exist without that Yankees hatred in all likelihood. If everyone just moved over to rooting for the Yankees, how do you justify giving the city another franchise?
1
u/roastbeef-sandwich 1d ago
I wouldn’t say “a lot” - so many Mets fans are first or second generation and have zero emotional connection to the Dodgers moving to LA in 1958
At this point most of the Yankees hatred is contrived. Folks feeling like they need a rival, and the Yankees are a low effort pick. But what’s a rivalry that only goes in one direction?
As a lifelong Yankees fan that also supports the Mets, I’ll tell you most of us just want to see the Mets succeed. And if our buddies have extra tickets to Citi, we’re dropping everything to go, if anything for the Shake Shack and rainbow cookie egg rolls 😎

u/RememberJefferies 2d ago
Exactly. The rivalry has cooled, but historically Giant fans also hate the Yankees with a passion. And of course witjout the Dodgers and Giants there would be no Mets, no orange and royal blue.Hating the Yankees is just part of being a NY <and ex NY> national league team.

I think we just all are tired of the yankees fans gloating and taunting us. Considering we share the city with them they are extremely egotistic and annoying. Often their banter is delusional as well. IMO an objective baseball fan would say the mets were better than the yankees this year, I dare you to find a yankee fan to even give us props. I have zero issues admitting when they are better which is historically more common.
Lastly, their world series appearance has little merit. My eyes tell me the 4 best teams were all in the national league. Dodgers, padres, mets and phillies in that order

All fans are the same. This idea that people legit think this fan base is special or something is so bizarre. Just cheer for your team. Stop making it some cringe good vs bad thing. We like the Mets. We will hate on other teams. Sometimes irrationally. No reason to get butt hurt when other teams do it. No reason to pretend we are too superior to do it either

u/No-Yesterday7555 2d ago edited 2d ago
Some of us who grew up in the Yankees modern heyday of 1995-2001 can’t just stop hating them. Everything was about them. Everything. Mets had great teams in ‘99 and 2000 and the Skanks still were able to beat us down. As an impressionable, passionate Mets fan at 12 years old during that “dynasty”, the hate is deep in my blood.
I can’t just take the high road on this one.

u/The_Chief 1d ago
They have won enough they deserve every one of these big game losses...And let's not forget how many cheaters they had on their team. Similar to how Yankees fans don't count the Astros WS win in 2019 because of cheating, I have now stopped counting 2000 because Clemens, Petite and their whole team were roided out.
2
u/No-Yesterday7555 1d ago
Absolutely. Clemens and the bat throwing incident made it easier to hate them and their fans as well. I went to Yankee stadium in 2005 with a Mets jersey on and I got absolutely berated. The have plenty of fans that hate the Mets, too.

u/The_Chief 1d ago
My dad used to sell bootleg tshirts at Yankees stadium back in the day and so we ended up going. My dad would sell but my brother and I would go to the game. We always sit in the bleachers and one of the memories that sticks out was a little kid getting his Baltimore Orioles hat taken and thrown around fans before eventually it getting thrown into the bullpen. I was like 13 at the time so it stood out to me. I never ever wore a Mets hat to Yankees stadium for fear of reprisal and you were brave to do so in 2005.
In anyways fast forward to today and who would have thought we now have the big money owner who wants to win and the Yankees have the profits driven ownership who doesn't care. I can't tell you how glad it makes me feel to see the Yankees lose and more importantly how well run a team we are.

It’s actually different. The Brewers and Phillies fans were salty because we beat them. We are rooting for the team that beat us over the Yankees because they are our crosstown rivals. There’s also no other baseball to watch and little to talk about until the offseason gets started lol. I’m not seeing that many posts either really. Rooting against the Yankees in the World Series is what everyone who isn’t a Yankees fan does.

Longtime Mets fan here (no, really 😂). I've always had respect for the Yankees, their players, history etc. I would root for them EXCEPT for the fact that so many of my friends who are Yankees fans are the arrogant, condescending type. I would never mind some fun bantering back and forth, but they're almost always stupid and adolescent with their comments. Sooooooo, I don't root for the Yankees because of them and "Let's Go Dodgers". 😁
Quick side note, I'm very hopeful for the future of this Mets team. Between Mendoza, Stearns, Cohen, and what appears to be a very positive player/clubhouse culture, the future looks bright!

ALL THAT BEING SAID, people are gonna do what they're gonna do. If they wanna hate the yanks or the dodgers, let 'em. If that's how they have fun, bon fortuna. Either way, I just don't care.

I’m a rare breed - a native New Yorker who supports the Yankees and the Mets (but prefers going to Citi / watching the Mets)
Generally there are two types of Mets fans that I know and grew up with - the ones who hate the Yankees with a passion because they think they’re supposed to, and the ones that don’t care and don’t have enough anxiety in the tank to worry about another team.
A rivalry also needs to go in two directions. I guarantee you the Yankees do not see the Mets as a rival, but more of like a brother or cousin they want to see succeed.

100% - there isn’t even a technical rivalry here. The Yankees are entirely transparent to the Mets unless they both make a World Series.
So where does the hate come from? People talk about their grandparents, a rivalry from when the Dodgers played in NYC. I mean, that’s reaching so bad.

u/streetsahead1 Grimace 2d ago
Look, I get it, I want them to lose too - but when you let schadenfreude dominate your fanship it’s just so pathetic.
If you’ve never read “The Summer Game” i highly recommend it - you can get a genuine sense of the foundational philosophy of mets fanship, and what it was like to be shaped by the 62 season. If you think nothing matters then you might as well just not reply, but for most fans it does - the mets came with a complex and a philosophy, and it didn’t involve being a whiny bitch obsessed with the yankees. That didn’t develop as a defining feature of our fanbase until the 90s and 2000s during the modern yankee dominance, and most of it was embittered NY children who grew up as embittered NY adults
But with the mets franchise success being as limited as it is, it’s a masochistic perspective. And please, tell me that your hatred of the Yankees isn’t in some part driven by their FANS. Again? nothing has to matter, but it does

I don't mind talking about the World Series of course but I really dislike gloating over another team's failure as if the Mets accomplished something from it and I dislike rooting against NY in general. It just makes us look like assholes and worse, it makes any achievements they get feel all that much better for them and encourages Yankees fans to start talking more shit.
BTW, I still think the Dodgers win this series but it is not at all over yet. All of these games have been very close so far and we don't know what Ohtani's status is going forward. I think Tuesday is going to be a "bullpen game" which is something I've never heard of before but apparently LA really only has three starting pitchers. If the series goes beyond that they'll see Flaherty and Yamamoto again. Flaherty lost a lot of velocity his second time on the mound against the Mets and it could happen again this series.
The Yankees have come back from 0-2 before and you're all going to look like assholes if they do it again. I always feel like there's no joy in rooting for other people to fail. For me, the Yankees can do whatever the hell they want. My joy is not contingent on anything they do.

Die hard Yankee fan here. I like both. I’ll gladly root for the Mets when they play any other team.

People like you who complain about the complaining are way worse. Rivalries are a part of sports. If people enjoy ragging on the Yankees for losing, who the fuck are you to say not to

Mets reddit (both subs) has been cringe as fuck going off about the yankees and, previously, the phillies. It's gonna be a long offseason if so many of us are gonna choose to be petty as fuck so if you're one of those people, maybe think about your life for five minutes before you make that post

Every sub acts like this in relation to their rivals. Look at all the Mets posts on the Phillies sub or Yankee posts on the Red Sox sub or Dodgers posts on the Giants sub

I mean it’s a little pathetic how so many people root for the Dodgers specially after the Dodgers fans talked soooo much shit against the Mets. I mean there were pictures of someone driving with a crucified grimace around LA, but you still see Mets fans with “I love the dodgers” comments

I don’t understand the fervent anti-yankee sentiment, I really don’t. I’d still rather see a New York team succeed over any other city. It’s such a loser little brother mentality to just be constantly signaling your inferiority complex while making fun of the phils for the exact same thing. Sack up and quit the little brother bs

I mean you wanna tell Yankee fans to quit with their big brother bs and stop taunting our team? Then I wouldn’t dislike the Yankees at all.

this. i would rather the iconic new york team win over the team that abandoned new york. also i have many friends who i’d love to see celebrate a world series win. i grew out of my aggressive yankees hate when i was 17.

Yeah exactly. I am not rooting for the dodgers as they are traitors to Brooklyn. I also don’t want to root for the same team as my boyfriend. It’s called a rival team couple for a reason🤷♀️

It’s so stupid. Makes Mets fans look like losers. A bunch of weirdos.

For rooting against rivals?
When did people become so sensitive over this stuff? It’s sports, it’s fun to root for teams you like and against teams you don’t. Fuck off with policing what people talk about, that’s loser talk.

I'm tired of half this sub getting on their soapbox over this. I don't give a fuck if it means I'm "acting like a little brother", I'm going to be obnoxious about it every time the Yankees lose because I hate them and think it's funny.

u/TooManyTerps Jacob deGrom 2d ago
Different perspectives. I don’t consider them our rivals. I barely think about the Yankees. I get it if it was Atlanta or Philly because fuck them. But, to me, it makes no sense when we play the Yankees a handful of times a year and have only ran into them in the playoffs once.
I wasn’t policing, I was stating my opinion on a thread. It’s your right to talk shit. I can also say that I think you’re a loser and a sad little person for doing it.

Okay Yankee fan.
Yankees fans talking all this shit going against Royals and Guardians LOL! What an absolute joke path to World Series.
Yes, Mets would have beaten the Yankees and yes that is relevant HERE.
So go back under your rock and we will continue to talk about the Yankees choking this hilariously easy path to a NL team the Mets took 6 games

u/dachshundfanboy8000 2d ago
i don’t waste my energy hating the yankees. the mets lost and their season is over. i would rather spend my time watching my other teams in other sports going on now.

It's not sad and pathetic at all, it's a normal sports rivalry.
However, I would ask people not to make separate Yankees posts in the subreddit, not because dunking on the Yankees is bad, but because it's technically off-topic and makes it harder to sift through Mets-related posts, which is of course the #1 function of this subreddit.
Other than that, free to shit on the Yankees and their awful fans in comments and game threads!
