2009 World Series: Bad News
As everyone has made light of, this World Series sucks for a Mets fan.
Mets fans are pretty split on which side theyโre rooting for, if you can even call it rooting.ย Funny thing is, you see plenty of Yankees fans saying that we should be rooting for them, but I donโt hear any Phillies fans making that same argument.

Personally, Iโm rooting for the Yankees to lose. I donโt get any joy, or any more grief no matter what the Phillies do, but the Yankees winning would really irk me. Itโd blow my theory of them being cursed for knocking down the house that Ruth built, itโd give even more fuel to the โJeterโs the best player everโ arguments you hear, as well as the constant reminder about how much theyโve won. Their eight rings to the Mets two would start to get a little insurmountable, whereas three for the Phillies wouldnโt be as rough.
Some say that the cracks in Yankee Stadium will open up and swallow both teams into Hell.
Some compare it to 1999 although despite how much it sucked losing the Braves, the Braves fans were never in the equation as hated rivals. Others suggest we ask who the Yankees were rooting for in 1986 and root accordingly.
Personally, Iโm just not watching. I get no joy out of watching either team, and if you factor in all the game-delay tactics, the 50 million pitching changes, and the pop-fly home runs, Iโm just not sure itโs going to be fun to watch anyway.
Iโll be watching the Islanders at the Rangers Wednesday night.
