Jetsfan80 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 It's only July 2nd, and the countdown has already begun. The New York Yankees Tragic Number currently sits at 75. Before this post gets flamed for kicking the Yankees and their fans while they're down, I ask that those Yankee posters who would kick Mets fans or Red Sox fans while they're down refrain from posting in this thread. That covers about 90 % of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Well the 2007 tick has the Yanks playing for a wildcard spot on the last weekend in Baltimore. I think yanks will be WC contender before Aug. 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for other Mets and Red Sox fans, but I was here. I even recall a post made by Bob (of all people) commending me for sticking around 2 seasons ago even when the Mets were having their typical (at that time) .500 season.

BP Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I should remind you that what comes around goes around. you can start threads with the anti Yankee pom poms ablazing. but be forwarned, when your heroes are in peril in the fall you might not like what comes around. just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I can't speak for other Mets and Red Sox fans, but I was here. I even recall a post made by Bob (of all people) commending me for sticking around 2 seasons ago even when the Mets were having their typical (at that time) .500 season. All Met fans were accounted here for. NONE used the injury excuse. The better team won. Some Yankee fans here could have used that as a guide. Again, some.

I never bash the mets for no reason like you do to the yankees. There are many yankee fans on this site who are being very realistic and honest about the problems the yankees are having this year. These pointless bashing threads are a complete waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang wife and kids. I believe the "we" is indeed "Mets fans", although he may have indicated "we" as meaning "non-Yankee fans" as well. Both apply.

When I started the Tick, tick, tick 2006 'Mets will win more than Yanks this year' thread in April 2006 i got lambasted. Then the Yank fans said 'Its April/May be quiet till end of year'. I went away assuming I would be back later. Well the DAY the Mets lost the advantage over Yanks in wins, I think July, there was a barrage on the old thread,,Blasting my prediction, asking where I was etc. I was quiet because I was asked to by yank fans who said it was dumb to post stuff so early in season. I should wait till end. So yes, you will hear from other fans when you are UP and DOWN,,I found that out, even though the TICK was dead on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying I'd think you'd have something better to do than pay attention to the magic number of an AL team when the team you like is in the NL. If you want to tell me that the MuttSoxers here aren't obsessed with the Yankees than you should stop making threads like this. The Yankees are in trouble no doubt and it's just hilarious that Mets fans care so much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As does the leader of your division, the Red Sox. And yes, I do have better things to do. Independence Day is coming up. It's just fun to take 5 minutes out of my day for these purposes.
