Sounds familiar…How about finishing in last place 5 out of 6 years (’62-’67), 4 out of 7 (’77-’83 – the other three years during that span they finished 5th out of 6th), or 2 out of 3 (’02-’04!)

This way the players don't get upset, that should make the players happier to play in NY. One other thing, these writers crack me up if they had to pay to see this garbage like the hard working fans do maybe they'd see things differently. The poor baby is upset. Fans paying their hard earned money who if they don't do their jobs or only do them half assed get fired from their 50 grand jobs. And these millionaires get upset becaused they'd boo'ed. Aw , the poor boys....get real and do your damn jobs.

I hear why some people feel they paid their money, and have the right to boo. But how does it actually help? It certainly doesn't help the player do better. Perhaps it makes people feel a little better, but the impression it leaves of the fans is really just awful. We wouldn't have been talking about it all these days if it looked great. It makes Mets fans look bad.

I take it you are also a grown man? If you are you should have more sense than what you're posting here on this site. Take your boos and your fatalistic attitude someplace else.

You would rather boo than cheer and that's sad. Go be a Yankees fan if that's the case.
