[quote name='wildcpac']They are bummed that they are Mets Fans during an era where the Yankees have gone to the playoffs 14 out of 15 years, 7 Pennants and 5 World Series. It's the why not us mentality. Especially when Yankees Yankees Yankees hits you in the face every single second living in NY. You cannot escape it. Mets fans are also pissed that Omar and Jeff Wilpon did a state of the union address last year after the regular season on WFan. Both men stated that the Mets would do whatever it takes to fix and improve the team in the off season. All the front office did was put a bandaid in Bay on severed limb.
Plus look at the last couple of seasons. 2005 was a feel good year that the Mets didn't have in 5 years. Mets were 1 inning away from the World Series in 2006. 2007 and 2008 they had historic collapses to miss out on the playoffs. 2009 was the season from hell in terms of everyone getting injured. I am sure the Mets fans here are old enough to remember 1997 and 1998 when both seasons the Mets failed the last weekend of the season to miss the playoffs. Mets in 1988 were on the verge of making the World Series by taking a 3-1 series lead over of the Dodgers and Mike Scioscia hit a 2 run shot off of Gooden in the top of the 9th. Mets fans are snake bitten. Every right to be so because outside of 69 and 86, the team has to be one of the unluckiest teams in all of sports.
Ollie pitched a great game today and the Mets bullpen blew it by giving up a grand slam. Mets now have 1st and 3rd down 2 with 1 outs in the top of the ninth. Make it a 1 run game with the tying run at second and 2 outs. A healthy Reyes would have been safe. Mets lose. Wfan should be fun to listen too.
What is up with Zach Greinke? Guy has been hit pretty hard in his first couple of starts against the Sox and now the Twins.
Oooooo and Vernon Wells has 6 homeruns in the first 11 games. I wonder if some team is going to be stupid enough to trade for him.[/QUOTE]

and this post people came from a Yankee Fan!
most of it is a NY thing. We see how good the Yankees are and Ownership says we will be that good.....well it never happend and they keep lying to us. They say they do whatever it takes to win and they don't do it. i see teams blow leads or lose but when the mets do it....It feels like it happens ALL THE TIME! thats the feeling i want to stop .
I remember all the years that Wildcpac spoke off. All years of torture and agony and being jerked around. i remember the bomb scioscia hit too in 88. as a child it, i broke one of my GI Joes over that loss.
i do believe we have an ideally good squad but thats just it....ideally we do but in reality it stinks and I hope at least Jeff/Fred and wake up and finally smell the coffee and see how bad their front office/med staff/roster really are.
