I still heart Jerry. The man says what's on his mind and doesn't think about 'the media' at all. It's so refreshing.
So Jerry announces that the Mets are the #2 team around these parts.
Whew. That wasn't so bad was it. I feel like we've come out of the sports closet.
The Red Sox changed their mentality to stop worrying about last century. The Yankees won that one, and there's nothing you can do about it. So far things are looking up in Boston.
In Flushing, the Mets have won as many 21st century championships as the NYY's. Zero. Sure they have a few pennants but they have won squiddly since the new century dawned.
However, the Mets will always be the #2 team. They would ned to run off 24 championships to catch-up by 2033.
They have never had a hall of famer play and stay for an entire career.
The Mets are Calvin Schiraldi away from being as cursed as Boston was. They wear dopey uniform combinations (like hybrid hats with home pinstripes) and you can't take them seriously.
There's a lot to be admired in the Bronx. Accept it and move on.
…
Jerry also should send letters to the Jets, Islanders and Nets. The Devils have won multiple cups and have arguably the best goalie ever and still nobody cares.
I didn't realize the Mets were allowed to play the Cardinals. I thought they only played teams in the pacific time zone. Do they get to play the Cubs? Oops I looked at the schedule – Giants (formerly of New York, Fred) and the Mets endless rival the Rockies. What's with all the Rockies this year.
