2 LOSSES STINK, BUT AT LEAST WE'RE NOT THE METS

The Mets have a problem... they stink.

You wanna piss off the same fan base that pays your salary? Boo them back! Javier Baez is a tool.  Yesterday he decided that he would thumbs down Mets fans because I guess he, Francisco Lindor and Kevin Pillar believed "enough was enough" with the fans being unhappy with their performance. And so, they went back at the fans, "booing them back" with thumbs down symbols.


Now everyone who's anyone knows that if you wanna tick off fans, this is the way to do it. Here's what the Mets don't get. You are paid to play the game as hard as you can to collect the most wins and best statistics you can for the year or years. THAT IS YOUR JOB NEW YORK METS. You know what the fan's job is? The fans job is to tell you if they approve or not. THAT'S IT.

Fans pay alot of money to buy tickets, eat the crappy food and pay alot of money to park for a few hours. Some fans do it more than others spending literally thousands of dollars per month.  And so, if you suck Baez and Lindor... trust me.... the fans are gonna tell you.  

Now... when it comes to the Yankees fans, we will do the same. You all know that Bleeding Yankee Blue keeps it as honest as we can here when it comes to the Yankees... good OR bad. If the Yankees are doing real good, we of course are on board. If they suck, we are the first to tell you that we can't stand them at that moment in time and also suggest what we would do as fans. You wanna know why? Because much like Mets fans, we too have a voice.  

Here's the difference... the New York Yankees never go back at the fans. They are held at a higher standard and they know this. And so, they sit there, they'll take the heat if they suck, and like any mature ballplayer... they will work through it and try to improve. It's alot of pressure, but that's what a ballplayer does. And as we saw, the Yankees found their stride with 13 straight wins.  


Now they are at 2 straight losses, which, isn't a big deal, but to some fans it may be. Fair enough. That's what is so great about being a fan. We all feel differently about different moments on the field. We root the same, but differently depending on who we like out there and what we want out of our team. But again... the Yankees? They don't hammer us back. They get it.


It starts at the top. 

The Steinbrenners have set the tone for wealth and what some feel is almost royalty. The Yankees are the elite, the top, the most pretegious franschise and that is how it trickles down. The Yankees players won't attack a fan like losers Baez or Pillar. Why? Because the standard is different for Steve Cohen, a Mets owner who is as spineless as they come, NOT talking directly to the clubhouse if the Mets are sucking, but instead trying to publicly humiliate them on Twitter.  

You gotta be a real loser to do that.  And you wonder why the Mets are going back at the fans. This guy's low rent.

Look... I'm a fan of the game, but I'll always be a Yankee fan. And Lord knows losing 2 in a row stinks as the Yankees just did to the A's. But I ain't mad yet.  If they keep losing... do you think I'll be mad? Sure I will. Will the Yankees understand why I'm mad? Yup. Can I complain as a paying customer? Yes. Will the Yankees understand that? 1000%. 

Thank god I'm not a Mets fan.  Sewer city... and it starts at the top.
