Pure jealousy in the mascot category. Mr. Met rocks. Always did. Always will. You had some creepie Yankee Doodle "Dandy" back in the day. If you can't do it right, don't but don't knock those who do. Mets take that one. sorry

Rex: Mike Jorgensen and Willie Montanez hit fewer homers into more empty seats combined than Jason Bay does for today's Pirates - but those 4,700 paid were LOUD!!! As for mascots, let's not discount George and Hank - true cartoon characters. As for the uniforms, we have always maintained that the Yanks have the coolest in sports and that the Mets going with 15 combinations is the answer to the Bombers bombing with Sterling. At least he's on the radio, though. Finally, as for this 26 championship thing: It's 6-2 since the Mets inception. And how many have the Yanks won since A) Jackie Robinson B) 12+ teams were in the league and C) Revenue Sharing???

| Kids LOVE Mr. Met and in todays game they dont get to see day games. That makes them look for something they like. The mets have the colors and a fun guy like Mr Met. The Yankees are losing fans! |

That Dandy character is a great example of why I hate the Yankees. Steinbrenner commissions a mascot, but doesn't give the mascot a real chance to shine. He relegates him to the upper deck where he is reportedly beat up by uptight fans, who don't want a mascot because they think the Yankees are "too good" for one.
Mascots are for kids, you Nazis, and any team that believes it's too good for one of those, and then goes on to hire a shrill cheerleader like Suzyn Waldman is a joke.
Mascots: Advantage METS.
Thank you, Matts for bringing up those numbers regarding the Yankees since the inception of the Mets. I could care less what the Yankees did prior to baseball's expansion. (See my post calling The Polo Grounds, the Florence of baseball). Since then the Yankees have given us: The Bronx Zoo, the Lean 80's, 1996 and Jeffery Maier, Roger Clemens, 3 Championships in a Row including one Subway series where the bulk of the team was bulking up on 'roids, 2 WS losses, The biggest upset of all time, Roger Clemens again, and Hank Steinbrenner.
Since then the Mets have given us: The 62 Mets, Tommie Agee's Homerun, The '69 Mets, Ya Gotta Believe, 1 WS loss, 1986, a Coke Scandal, 1988, The Worst Team Money Can Buy, The Bobby V era, The Grand Slam Single, 2000 versus the entire Mitchell Report, The crappy Art Howe era, 2006 and the catch, the second greatest collapse of all time, Jerry M vs. Brian R . . . . . the list goes one.
The Yankees may have more success, but the Mets have better Moments. Even when those moments are horrendously bad, they're still memorable. And for that, I will always root for the Mets. |

| Good one Rex, The Mets are cooler because they're in Queens. Any borough that needs "the" in front of it sucks. |
