Links: Connectedness, Fandom, Legos, and Booing
At her blog, Mets Geekette discovers that being overly connected to the Mets’ fanbase through the internet has brought out the best and worst in her as a fan.
…anonymity can certainly do that, and i often wonder how good a thing it is that we have twitter, message boards, dare i say it blogs, talk radio, and everything else us fans use to voice our opinion with, usually in an anonymous way…
Aaron Torres, a Red Sox fan, writes about how Mets fans are second to none, writing that they are “a large group of passionate individuals who live under one large dark cloud.”
…well said aaron, sometimes it feels like the cloud is pretty dark, but i try to find the silver lining, as i think most of us do…although this quote may be perceived negatively, this piece is very complimentary to mets fans…
Planet of the Geeks is back with more Legos, this time with Keith Hernandez, glasses and all, interviewing Carlos Delgado.
Joe Hamrahi, whose name you’ll recognize from our NL East updates, recaps his first visit to Citi Field at Baseball Daily Digest.
Lastly, Ted Berg of SNY.tv revisits the topic of booing players on the toom you root for.
…i understand that people are frustrated and like to vent, that’s fair, but i agree with ted here that booing david wright is a waste of energy…i think it gives away our home field advantage, and are we really so impatient that we need to boo a player who’s having an early season slump…
