Then, some were booing the Scho coming in. The latter may be a bit much....but is a far cry from "booing Johan".

Johan easily got the loudest pop and ovation of the day.....it was a select few morons who booed him upon removal of his first home start, later on in the week vs. the Brewers. And I'm still convinced that they were booing Schoeneweis' entrance INTO the game -- and not really as much Santana's DEPARTURE FROM the game. Met fans are much more loyal and dedicated than they're portrayed to be -- albeit by a BROAD AND WIDE paintbrush, not everyone who has a criticism about the team is a fairweather, or even "entitled" fan. People need to get real.....yes, booing bothers players to a degree -- but their job is to play baseball....whether they're at home, or on the road. Many Met players have a bugaboo about performing at home. Maybe they can prescribe some SHEA-AGRA for them.

One of Matt's best. Who better to comment on how the booing affects actual Mets players? And, if anything, Darryl was in the "it''s not new / it's not a big deal" camp. Cerrone has done the least sensationalizing of boogate compared to mainstream media sourecs and even compared to other Mets related blogs. C’mon guys – that was a great interview. One of Matt’s best.

Some reality from an actual former Met! Will this finally keep the newbie fans / pollyannas from whining about the booing as if they weren't around (these types of fans, I sususpect probably weren't) during the days of "Sisk Sucks!" chants? Darryl said it best - the fanbase here has energy and passion and is demanding. The teams in the 80s understood it. If this group doesn't....well, whose fault is that? Hallelujah!!!!

Darryl is just glossing over the real ugliness of a portion of today's Mets fan base. Mets fans have always showed Darryl a lot of love even through all his personal problems, so he's just refraining from criticizing them now to be nice.

The booing is worse than ever. In the past, they wouldn't have booed someone like Santana making his first appearance at Shea. Darryl is just glossing over the uglier elements of today's fan base.

As much as I admire and like Straw, not all players are like him. The type of personality that enabled him to let the boos roll off his back and to motivate him is also the type of personality that led him into a boatload of legal and personal problems and was a barrier to him realizing his full potential. There are a few players who are less bothered by the boos. But there are tons of players who are bothered by the boos and perform worse when they are showered by them. I also disagree with Darryl that the boos aren't worse today than they were in the past. My memory could be faulty, but it seems the degree of booing is worse than ever. Nonsense.
