How NY Mets Fans React to Red Sox-Yankees
By & Large, in fact, OVERWHELMINGLY, as is the NY National League Tradition, Despising the NY Yankees is almost as old as the Dodgers-Giants Feud, which began before Brooklyn became part of New York City.
I am a Red Sox Fan with a New York National League Pedigree., for my Yankees Despising Tradition was born in Shea Stadium, now a site of the Citi Field Parking Lot. I have a sense of pain watching a team becoming somewhat of a nonentity because of an ownership, most noted for meddling in Baseball Operations(Jeffy), as well as investing with some dude named Bernie From Far Rockaway. Prior to that ownership, it was the Chintzy Actions of one M. Donald Grant, a managing partner, who forced the trade of now Hall Of Famer, George Thomas "Tom" Seaver, on Thursday, June 15th, 1977. NY Mets Fans then ran this version of ownership out "On A Rail", & I am not talking about the Long Island Railroad. Hence, I grew up in a Rebel Tradition of Baseball.
So, for Dustin Pedroia & Papi Ortiz to have Freddy Garcia for lunch last evening in Toilet III, is so satisfying.
But, Jon Papelbon has to stop doing his impersonation of Armando Benitez on the mound. Armando used to send Mets Fans into fits. Mets Fans who may come here to read this, you know what I am talking about.
Go Red Sox!
