The latest installment in the history of the sad sack Mets is new reliever Billy Wagner's theft of far superior reliever Mariano Rivera's entrance song Enter Sandman by Metallica. The whole tri-state area is up in arms about it. If the Mets are trying to find an identity for themselves why borrow from the team whose shadow they cant seem to escape the Yankees? First off I wish Wagner kept the song and Mariano had a better song as Metallica suck in the metal world. How about an AC/DC, Iron Maiden or a KISS song? Hell a Barry Manilow song would be better than Metalli-commercal! Alas Enter Sandman has become Rivera's staple entrance so were stuck with it but the Mets allowing Wagner to use it only proves once again that the New York Mets are content with being the #2 team in New York. 

Please don't tell me about 26 World Championships either. You were alive for max 6 of them. Myself as a Mets fan, know Yankee history better than most Yankee fans do. I appreciate what Yankee history has meant to baseball because back in 1920 it saved baseball. So before you call the Mets sad sacks, lets keep in mind, we don't have guys on our team doing steriods nor are we fans bandwagon jumpers. Because I can tell you in the 1980's you guys were all Mets fans. I know because I watched how Yankee fan would say to me in 1982 " how can you be a Mets fan?" Then 4 years later they are rooting on the Mets wearing their Mets hat and those same people going up to Yankee fans saying " how can you root on the Yankees?" Those fans are not true fans. I root hard for my team. Even when they finished 63-99 in 1979 when Joe Torre managed the Mets. When they finished 53-109 in 1993. I will always be a Mets fan. I don't believe myself or my team second class citizensnor do I believe you cast a shadow over the Mets. You guys have been in the league since 1901 when you were the Baltimore Orioles before moving to Highland Park in Manhatten in 1903. The Mets have only been around since 1962. So do me a favor, you and I have talked on PM's but don't judge my team as #2. Because in my heart, my team can finish last 50 years in a row and they will always be #1. That is why I have GREAT appreciation for Cubs fans and Red Sox fans. They are loyal to a fault.
The Mets are good team, finish around 500 each year and the Yankees win their division each year. If youre satisfied with that then more power to ya. I was in Shea Stadium in the mid-90s with 18,000 fans most of which were booing the Mets. Same with the football Jets...couldnt take blunder after blunder year after year on the field and off. The solution was switching to the winning teams and im happy now. Hey if players can change to other teams and teams can change to other cities why cant fans change teams? Loyalty to a sports team went out with the peace and love movement and the whole point of watching sports is to make you happy. Does watching the Mets and Jets make you happy? They suck and have for a LONG time. So youre my best friend on this site and I love you and Sadira to death as you well know but your REAL argument is with Chris Russo. Damn! Youd make a great caller to WFAN. Id love to hear you make your point to him not a baseball novice like my dumb ass. 


Maybe ill see you at a game sometime and we can tickle my wife's oh so sensetive soles in the bleachers!! Bring some rope!
