Yes, I am talking about the New York Baseball Mets. I know sports posts don't do very well, but this isn't really about sports. This is about some one (God) having it out for one particular fan base.
Now, if you're a Mets fan, first of all, I'm sorry, but secondly, you already know this. For everyone else, it may be a bit of a surprise. But let me lay it out for you.
First and foremost the Mets have a long long history of sucking. Sure, they actually have 2 championships, but those are aberrations. The Mets norm is at the bottom of the standings. That is until recently.
In recent years the Mets have made a serious push to actually play baseball for a change. In the two seasons prior to this one they led in the standings throughout the entire year. Only to lose in massive historic collapses and miss the playoffs both years.
Then this year ... well, bringing up this year to Mets fans is like bringing up a relative's funeral. Their entire team was wiped out by injuries with no real return dates even set. In fact, while injured, they would often re-injure themselves. It reached such exaggerated proportions that players were getting injured warming up and by falling down the stairs in the dugout.
And then you had the World Series which featured the two teams they hate the most: The Phillies and The Yankees.
Oh, did I mention that before the season the team lost a ton of money in the Bernie Madoff scandal? Speaking of Bernie Madoff, that brings me to why I'm bringing this up now. Baseball season is over, the Yankees won and Mets fans got front row seats to what a happy fan base looks like yet again. But the Mets are still in the news for various awful reasons that will surely bring shame to their fans.
Madoff's Mets jacket is being auctioned off (that one, up there, at the top of the post). Once again reminding the world that the very man who ripped them and every single other person who qualifies for Birthright off was big time fan with a customized jacket. It also reminds everyone how much they have in common. Spending boatloads of money, making boatloads of money, having a good run, but ultimately losing it all in the end.
Then there's this fellow:
Meet 18-year-old Jamal Blair. He's known that the "Granny Slayer" and is allegedly (he's confessed ... allegedly) responsible for the death of a 92 year old woman. He is from The Bronx. By all means he should be a Yankees fan. But with a title like "Granny Slayer" the Mets just fit too well. But did he really have to wear the jacket during his perp walk? Haven't his fellow Mets fans suffered enough already?
Apparently not. Because God really fucking hates Mets fans.
So, the next time you're feeling down just remember, it could be worse, you could be a Mets fan.

Earlier this year, at a game I went to, I started screaming at Jose Reyes about how much I loved him while they were warming up and he stood there looking up at our seats in the nosebleeds, smiling. We were super early and like the only people there. He was like wtf look at that crazy white girl. XD I felt special. I'm pretttty sure he wanted me.
GO METS! Good post...the Mets do seem to be pretty unlucky :/
That just made my night!
i love my Mets, but i fucking hate being a Mets fan.
"It reached such exaggerated proportions that players were getting injured warming up and by falling down the stairs in the dugout."*headdesk*It could be even worse...you could be a Browns fan...or a Cubs fan too.
And a Lions fan....
And a Chargers fan...and yes they are entertaining but..their team just can't do it.
And a Knicks fan....a team that has literally pasted up hope to hopefully get Lebron James...and if they don't, sadgasm?
I am so damn happy to be a Yankees fan, atleast one part of NY knows how to win? (OH!)
ROFLMAO
at least new york has a crap load of pro teams to complain about..where i live..vegas has 0..so we don't even have a team to complain about hah!
i don't know if god hates mets fans so much as god and everyone else likes laughing at them when the flimsy faith they have in their team collapses each year.
God also hates any sports team connected with the city of Cleveland.
GOD hates the city of NEW YORK
Yankees are the anti Christ
so sad, so true.
im a mets fan and let me just say that mets fans are the whiniest bunch of fans ever. would you rather trade places with a cubs fan? how about a kansas city royals fan? perhaps a pittsburgh pirates fan? at least the mets spend money and try to be competitive, as they have been in recent years. give me a break...
Good to see he's refocusing his hatred away from gays.
Now gay marriage can happen. Once that's done, maybe he'll stop hating the Mets so they can win a championship. Though perhaps nothing short of a ocean-parting miracle may be able to make that happen. Perhaps they need to shorten their lives a little more by taking extra 'roidage.
@Icecold4u@xanga - I think you could have stopped at browns or lions, that pretty much wraps it up. Maybe special mention for the clippers or something. There's people who'd probably more quickly brag about playing for state penitentiary then the lions 0 win team.
mhm
Why to stop???????
