And Kent makes a game of it! Tie game!
That’s the worst possible development.
I have nothing against the Dodgers—in fact i quite like them—but the idea of an asshole like Jeff Kent winning a World Series is enough to put a guy off baseball forever.
Stick a fork in us…we’re done. Swept by the Mets. What a revolting development!
Congrats to the Mets, their fans and especially Willie Randolph.
Silenus, my condolences.

This sucks. What a pathetic performance.
YAY!!!
Also, to you Dodger fans: sorry.
New York teams should be kept out of the playoffs. The Mets can’t lose their loser status, much like the Cubs. The Yankees are universally hated, so the hate must be kept at a proper level. You poor Dodger fans did nothing to deserve that.
I thought you were a Mets fan?!?!?!?
Well, you thought wrong!!!
Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
No, I’m a Tigers fan.
Your goals are contradictory. If you really want to tee off Yankees fans, then the Red Sox should play the Mets in every World Series. 
And how could you say the Dodgers did nothing to deserve getting swept by the Mets? In NY, at least, it is not forgotten that the Mets sole reason for existing is because the Dodgers left Brooklyn!
The Giants left, too. California was very appealing, apparently, in the late fifties/early 60s (don’t forget, the Mets first two seasons were played in the Giants old turf, the Polo Grounds)
I have tried to explain many times that while almost every Yankee fan hates the Red Sox with a deep and strong resolve, the average Yankee fan does not care all that much about the Mets. Not nearly as much as Met fans care about the Yankees.
A few years ago, a Cleveland fan told me their #1 rival was the Yanks, I thought he was joking and I laughed. Yankee fans rarely even notice Cleveland beyond them being another team to play.
It is all about the Red Sox and all else in minor in comparison. I care more about the O’s then the Mets. I first started watching baseball when the O’s were very good and the Yankees were just beginning to get better. Believe it or not we were the underdogs playing in the worst part of a dying city.
The Mets were in the other league, we would never play them except those silly Mayor’s Trophy games. The worst part about the Mets winning was hearing their fans gloat. They live in the same area, so there is more ribbing than with any other NL team, but if the Mets plays the Red Sox again, I will be rooting with all the Met fans for a Met’s victory. This is not uncommon among Yankee fans, the other even more common reaction is to switch gears and watch the Giants and Jets and try to forget about Baseball for a few weeks.
For what little it is worth, I will probably be rooting for the Mets to win as by doing so it will prove that Willie could be a successful manager.
Jim {Until a few years ago, I believed the Red Sox had to lose, it was the only thing in this strange and mysterious world I was sure of. 1978 & 1986 had proved this to be, 2003 had reaffirmed it, then in 2004 my one sure fact of life was ripped from me in a way that was inconceivable in its horror. Now I know nothing is certain, and I am truly agnostic.

Oh, I know these things. I wanted to keep it…you know…AD.
Generally true, yet there are a substantial number of Yankee fans (if a minority of the superset) who prefer the Mets not do well. Some of them even go the extra distance to show up at Shea Stadium for non-interleague games in Yankees gear and root for the other team. I’ve seen this at nearly every regular-season Mets game I have been to in the past 5 or 6 years, and it accounts for a lot of the Yankee-hating sentiment among Mets fans.
I don’t really picture many Mets fans doing that in the Bronx, do they? On the occasions when I’ve been to Yankee games with my Yank-fan friends, I at least show the common courtesy of not rooting against the home team.
Which is why the Giants deserved getting beat in the NLDS back in 2000, too! NYAH!
I honestly did not know about those fans, I would call them jerks. We get Red Sox fans like that at the stadium. Met fans might come in gear but generally they do not act like jerks during the game. I would be ashamed to be a Yankee fan that showed up at a Mets-Braves game and bad mouthed the Mets non-stop.
Some people are just jerks, I will guess they are jerks in other ways also.
I have not been to Shea since the late 70s. I do not like Shea and getting there is very difficult from Central Jersey. I can drive to Yankee Stadium with ease, the only decent way to go to Shea is by High speed Ferry and it is not worth the extra cost to me.
