Do most Yankee fans even consider the Mets a rival?

No, but the Yankee fans do not like other new yorkers that like the mets.

With the Yankees and Mets, it’s sort of a David vs Goliath rivalry. The Yankees are the loudmouthed bullying giant, while the Mets are the small humble one’s who occasionally take out their slingshot and defeat their foe. It’s the loudmothed bullying giants that keep the rivalries going. It’s pretty much baseball blasphemy to say that you like both teams in the same city, since both the teams and the fan base’s are so different in personality. If you say that in Chicago, they will look at you strange and say “You like both teams ???” as if you were some outer space monster.

If you've been a fan of a sport and a team for a very long time you have trouble understanding how you could switch allegiances, or root for the other team down the road.  But we're maybe 10% of the population.

A lot of the other 90% have less of an issue being happy for, and associating with, whatever team is nearby and doing well.  I know Yankee fans who'll root for the Mets if the Yanks are cratering to 88 wins and the Mets are doing better.

I have some relatives that are Cub fans, and they would never think about rooting for the White Sox, if their live depended on it.

It took me almost 10 years to switch from the Senators after they left and follow the Orioles, and I only wish the Nationals to do well, if the Orioles are. I would love to see a parkway world series.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      The 13 game plan is guaranteed playoff tickets…….if you purchase them.  Since I assume you went through the team and chose your seat and purchased it with a card, you should get it back.   At least for me, my wife and I thought we were going to be moving 30 minutes away from our house, but instead of an hour from Baltimore, it would be 1 hour 45 minutes, so season tickets of any sort didn’t make sense.  I also figured that we would get hit with 4 pm games mid-week to start, so it all just didn’t make sense.   I am also surprised that my rep didn’t reach out to ask why.  I opted in before as a 29 game holder, in 2014, 15 and 16.  I went back to 29 games this year after two seasons with 13, and I’ve been a Birdland member since 2014.  Oh well.  We may be opting back into 13 next year, or not at all.  We will have to see.  My wife will sometimes get tickets from work, and they were always when we had tickets, so it didn’t make sense to take them.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.

      I have 13 game plan. Last year I was refunded. I hope I am this year.    The Ravens used to keep your money for playoff games not played and people complained. They stopped doing it. It’s pretty unethical in my opinion they keep the money towards next year. You can use that money for something else and make payments when they are due. Instead a business getting handouts from the state keeps your money.    The fact that you didn’t get playoff tickets due to this is alarming. They should wake up and be called out on this. It’s not acceptable.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I didn't watch the Astros or Os press conferences, mainly because I didn't want to look at or hear anything Elias or Hyde said. But I imagine that Houston fans are going to be far more accepting of how things ended than our fans are (or should be). The Astros fan has had a pretty charmed life (cheating stigma aside) since the last time we won a playoff game.

      According to park factors, OPaCy was friendlier overall to righties compared to lefties. This is the second time in three season that has been the case. But it’s way friendlier to lefties in terms of hitting homers.
