Opinion: I’m Sick of Boo-gate
…by the way, i’m done with this whole booing conversation…it is being perpetuated by the city’s talk-show hosts and elite columnists and i’m starting to think they are simply writing and talking at our expense to fill space, and i don’t understand why…
…look, the silver lining to this – and i would like to think the player’s know this deep down inside, though they may not – is that people boo, and cheer by the way, 
because we give a damn…seriously, no city cares more about winning like New York does…maybe Boston, but i still feel they’re second…i’m convinced of it…
…if other cities cared like New York, they would not tolerate 99 years without a ring – like Cubs fans, who still seem more interested in the idea of being a ‘long-suffering Cubs fan,’ than actually living and dying with the team…could you imagine how New York would sound if, like the Rays, one of the Mets or Yankees finished in last place during nine of the last 10 seasons…where are the endless stories from Tampa Bay about angry Rays fans…there are none…if the Mets and Yankees lost that much, it would sound like MSG, like with the Knicks, another team from New York with super-passionate fans…
…the people who are perpetuating the idea that all Mets are crazy all lost the ability to be a fan years ago…most all of these writers see the game as a story line, as they should, and, like it or not, you and i are now characters who have been cast as the villain…which is totally unfair, not to mention invalid…
Fact is, according to a poll on this site earlier today, despite being worried and frustrated, nearly 80 percent of this site’s readership still believe that the Mets will make the playoffs.
…in other words, we are not negative…we are not crazy…instead, we are passionate, some times to a fault…we want, believe and expect the Mets to win…and i welcome any host or reporter to tell me what is wrong with that…
