New York Mets 2011 Banter

[yachties23]

I know Jeter is more revered... and it has nothing to do with his character. Jeter is a true yankee, up through the farm system, won 5 rings and always does/says the right thing.

Yankee fans had no problem rooting for Roger Clemens after he helped them win a pair of world series.

When it comes down to it Yankee fans are just as guilty of rooting for bad guys as any other team, if not worse. If Hitler could hit the curveball, and helped you win a world series or two, you guys would root for him.

You also try to make the point that Bernie was pulled from a meaningless game to win a batting title. How more meaningless could September baseball be, than a Mets/Reds game? SRSLY

My point wasn't that he was pulled from a meaningless game, it was that he was left in the longest in a meaningless game.
I also was trying to make the point that he wasn't pulled to preserve the batting crown.
He was pulled as a precaution by a team who had bigger fish to fry than the first year expansion Devil Rays.
