Texas Rangers.....

Flagg

Well, like I said earlier, this is all new for us. And I certainly don't take the Yankees lightly.

You should see everyone freaking out around here. They have sold 30,000 of those claw and antler shirts and can't keep them in stock.

It is like we have been conditioned to expect the Cowboys to win titles and anything less is a fail. At the same time we have been conditioned to expect the Rangers to suck or tease us then implode and be nothing more than something to fill the time between the Super Bowl and training camp.

No one knows what to do!

which is exactly why i hate the yankees cause of all these bandwagon fans that only became yankee fans cause they won. they'd think i was crazy if i told them yankee stadium was a ghost town in the 80's and early 90's.

again you were rooting for a division rival...

mind you they have more ws rings than the mets ...and they are an expansion team from the 90's

and again i loooooooooathe the yankees. can you not get through your head. surely you really aren't stupid. just cause the yankees play in new york doesn't mean i have to root for them. just like i don't root for the giants in the playoffs. just like i would never ever in my wildest dreams ever root for the ny rangers to win the stanley cup. it only be cause i'd want my grandpa to see his favorite team win the cup one last time.

i'll ask you this question again and i want an answer. would you ever root for the islanders in the stanley cup finals being that they are the rangers arch rival and all.


btw- the marlins have won 2 world championships same as the phillies and mets do. i suggest you know your facts before making a point .

His response will be that they are in the same division so it's not the same as the Mets/Yankees or Giants/Jets...
NY has two teams and it's not like division rivals... You can't like both and if you are a Mets fan like me and do not have 27 championships to make the pain go away, the Mets are not a serious rival. To Mets fans the Yankees are worse than a division rival because we read it everyday... every back page, every projection... We can't even enjoy the Philly rivalry becuase we aren't really competing against them...

THIS is exactly why i will always root against the yankees. you forgot to mention the bandwagon yankee fans in recent years who probably couldn't even name the 96 world series roster or 98 world series roster. i bet they'd be to shocked to find out guys like david cone and strawberry and dr. k once played for the mets.

mets/yanks same city, fighting for the same back pages and have a subway series and have a history that goes back to the 60's. so yea mets/yanks def aren't rivals :roll: :roll: . i guess you forgot bout the mayors trophy in the 60's and 70's and 80's and how once the boss took over the yanks he would start his best players in the game.

makes tons of sense to me when it involves teh cubs/sox or mets/yankees

the mayor's trophy..is this what you're worried about?

we play 6 x per year .. and can only meet in the ws

the mets fans think its a rivalry i guess because the yanks fans don't even know the mets are on the map..let alone care about what they do

our rival is the red sox not the mets

the only time we cared was in 2000 and whenever the next subway series will be

the 6x per year is just another 6 games...believe it

so you think hank and hal wouldn't care if the mets by some miracle take over the back pages and build a dynasty. that's pretty funny if you think that.

i know ton's of yankees who loooooooathe the mets. just cause you don't doesn't mean all yankee fans are like you.

Great problem to have, isn't it?
Everywhere I've been today, it's all people can talk about. I wore a Rangers t shirt to work today, not sure if it was against our "professionals" dress code but nobody has said anything. :shifty:

Gary Carter

horrible fielding horrible

like watching the bad news bears

Johnny Abruzzo

Eh, I think I'd like to see this series go longer. More baseball to watch. Sorry Rangers fans.

Flagg

Yeah not a good start. CJ can't find the strike zone.

Gary Carter

WAKE UP!
