Tis a painful thing being a Met fan, more so when you are surrounded by Yankee fans.

This morning walking through the supermarket, and older woman came up to me, and said "Thats a Cubs, are you a Cub fan?" to which I replied, "No, I'm a Met fan, I just was out in Wrigley for the weekend, and picked up the hat"

"You know,The cubs are losing Lou Pinella, he was a yankee, And your mets aren't so well right now"

At this juncture I had two responses lined up:
"Let me guess, you must be a Yankee fan, You probably also root for bad guys in movies, US Steel, and the Soviet Union in the Lake Placid Olympics. Oh and you must love to kick babies."

But I went wit the more reserved
"Must be a Yankee fan, good season you are having" Than ducked my head and walked away.

I think I've come to realize that we will always be a team that people poke fun at. Met fans are crazy loyal, and have taken abuse for ever, I just know that deep down when (if) we do win another World Series, it will be that much sweeter.
