YA GOTTA BELIEVE 2006!!!

[GonzoStyle]

Granted the bandwagon fans that became fans at the end of October 1996, are losers. They're the same people who started wearing ranger jerseys in 1994, of course they brought the jerseys the night before the parade. Then they bitch and moan about the Yankees not winning a championship since 2000, yeah because winning 4 in 5 years won’t quench the thirst for another ring. It’s easy to latch on and love the Yankees or teams that have won a bunch of championships, how many people did you know in the 90’s who were Chicago Bulls fans, how many of them are still Bulls fans?

But at the same time it’s also easy to root for the “other” team, when you have a 2 team city/state. It’s easy and gratifying to be the “I root for the loser cause I’m a REAL fan”. Most fans are stupid because most people are stupid, that’s just a fact of life. But let’s not forget the pre-1994 Yankees, they weren’t always as great, and the people who stuck through that, well those are true fans who know that it isn’t true that we just love the yanks because they win.

The rivalry between the meets and Yankees is a fun one, it’s Bronx vs. Queens, it’s two hometown teams. So naturally both sides are going to want to bash the other team, this is a case where you can’t love both teams and really call yourself a fan of either. I love the Yankees and hate the Mets, I want to see the meets fail because I love the Yankees. Doesn’t mean I do not recognize what a great team the meets have this season. If I were drafting a fantasy team today, I’d have more meets than Yankees on my team. Looking at my standings in the fantasy league, I wish I did have more meets on my team. My other league I am in 3rd place and have 5 meets players on my team.
