I saw this a long while back and saved it for a rainy day when there was nothing happening in Flushing.
The article (from last year) breaks down the miracle win tendency, the devestating loss tendency, and this good observation about die-hards (and yes we die hard):
I have been to Philadelphia many times to see Mets/Phillies games and the fan consistency is not there. Granted, when that team is good they have some of the most die-hard fans on the planet, but during there losing seasons there are more Mets fans showing up to those games in Philadelphia.
I have heard roaring “Lets Go Mets” chants in Florida and Philadelphia, but I have never and will never hear a Lets Go Philly chant in Queens.
Good little piece. Check it out.
