Dear Mets fans:
Hi. We hope this letter finds you well. As you may or may not know, what some of you consider a sign of the apocalypse is happening; the Yankees and Phillies are playing in the World Series this year. We Yankees fans know how passionate you are about your team, as we constantly hear about it, especially when the Yankees and Mets match up for those 6 games every year. So, we know how you feel about the Yankees, but we also know how you feel about those loud mouthed Phillies. What did Jimmy Rollins say? Did Cole Hamels dare utter the c**** word last year?
As such, Mets fans, we Yankees fans are cordially inviting you to come onto our bandwagon. There's plenty of room that wasn't taken up from a lot of people in the rest of the country jumping on - most of them jumped off in 2004 and are now wearing pink hats with an old English B on it.
Mets fans, we have a confession to make; we don't hate the Mets. As a matter of fact, except for those 6 games (and a certain World Series a few years back), we're kind of indifferent towards them. Those of us who live on Long Island, or in Brooklyn or Queens, actually tend to go to some Mets games, as they're usually much easier to get to, and a little cheaper. We sometimes even root for the Mets, especially when they play the Red Sox, or even in the playoffs - remember, a Subway Series means twice the chance at tickets for all of us.
I think a good analogy for our relationship is the one between the US and Canada. We Yankees fans think of you like Americans do Canada - the little kid brother who does things a little differently, but, hey, they try. When they do well, good for them! I'm sure you think of us like the Canadians do Americans - elitest ******** who try to take advantage of the rest of the world (OK, maybe that's the pre-Obama America...
). Fine, we understand, except that Canadians often forget that they're one of the most populated and rich countries in the world as well.
Look, Mets fans. We were a bit stunned when a large part of you rooted for your rival Braves in the 1996 and 1999 World Series. After all, New York was united in 1986 against Boston, so we figured that your chief rival at the time would drive a lot of you to grudgingly root for us, or, at least, root against Atlanta. After that brutal 1999 NLCS (Kenny Rodgers *spit*), you turned around and rooted for the Braves? C'mon. We felt your pain... ok, maybe not that much, but still. It does look really silly to be cursing a team one day and rooting for them the next.
So, whether you want to root for a united New York, or against the Phillies, come aboard. Maybe we'll buy you a $10 beer.
