my dad is an ass
Last year after the Yankees lost, my dad the Mets fan invited us over for some "Yankee pot roast and humble pie."
This year, we were greeted with his idea of home decoration (which is nice companion piece to his decor from earlier in the year).

This, from the man who is a fan of one of the worst teams in baseball. And, he's a Jets fan.
If he weren't such a good cook, I would disown him.

I don't like the Yankees, but how is this something for the Mets to cheer about? How is anything something for the Mets to cheer about? "The Marlins kicked our butts this year?" "We didn't win the NL East and neither did the Marlins, so this is for all the teams that didn't win their division?"

I love your dad for that.
That just cracks me up so much.

Oh, please. You're a Met fan, too. I told you that you inherited all of his bad traits.

This is just the way it is. Example....2000 WS the Mets lose in close games but ultimately 4-1. I have had nothing but praise for my best friend's Metsies during the Series and barely mention it since then.
Flash ahead to 2003: within seconds of the final pitch, a long gloating phone is placed....from a friend's wedding....3000 miles away.
That's not to reflect on Mets fans persay(Yankee fans prefer to be patronizing as we usually can't hate anyone even Boston) but the deep down anger and rage that dwells within every East Coaster and their sports teams. You just can't dislike certain teams...a hatred must burn long and deep.
