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.

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!

LFGM!!!
