It's the fans too. And it's nothing to do with jealousy, it's the self entitlement. Look at the above post from e30cabrio. It wreaks of arrogance. The Yankees are clearly the best team in the majors (on paper) and while speaking of a game which they had just won, what does he say? He complains that the Yankees need a better bullpen.
Now I don't mean to single E30 out (even though he deserves it). This is true of many Yankee fans I've met. Which is why I called him the perfect Yankee fan.

You are the perfect Mets fan, so used to mediocrity you can't see that a bullpen that gives up 5 runs sucks.
See, I can say it when there are flaws in my teams.
Case in point:
Rangers suck, under Sather their 9 year GM they have been in the playoffs 4 times & won t rounds in those four. THAT SUCKS.
As a real fan I can see when there are flaws in my teams.

Every team has flaws, including your precious Yankees. You miss the point, again.
"as a real fan" Are you serious?

Maybe that is just the Yankees fans line of thought though, since Met fans dont have to worry about the playoffs
So, since every team has flaws, us fans are not allowed to complain about it?

If the bullpen gave up 5 runs over 4 innings Id still be alittle pissed. But when they give up 4 of those 5 runs in the 9th? Thats a different story. Sure its the beginning of the season, but had we not scored 2 in the 8th it wouldve been a tied game, and who knows what the outcome would have been. Id much rather them address this before the All Star game then have this happen in September with a Playoff berth on the line.

Complain all you want, but don't be surprise when people roll their eyes at your complaints. Oh no...the best team in baseball gave up some runs, lets rework our whole bullpen. We need to trade for Papelbon for the 8th inning and Soria for the 7th immediately.
You guys won the effing game, give it a rest.

One on the right for me
Oakland is off to a good start, aside from last nights game. Yet their dumb fuck owner is still trying to make headlines about them moving to San Jose. What a dumb shit

I don't know why the Mets keep being brought into this, no one was talking about them. They suck, I don't claim they are good, happy?

First you say no response is needed yet you responded, then you say again my responses speak for me. DUH I communicate effectively so of course when I respond it follows it is understandable.
Thanks for the truth in advertising avi.

Ahh, that reminds me, I read this past week that Jim West (umpire) believes that the Boston-New York games are ruining baseball.

He claims the Red Sox and Yankees dont like to pick up the pace during the game, and thats why we have 4hr long games.
Yet he was the umpire working the plate for the first game when CC was on the mound, and he made CC change his shoes because they werent the same blue shoes the rest of the Yankees were wearing.

Not sure where else to post this, since we dont have a sports vid or college thread. Doesn't deserve its own thread, and most here will appreciate it.

I must admit that I didn't know too much about Halliday while he was with the Jays but now I'm beginning to understand the fuss. The Phils had some great defensive plays behind him last night as well. Sort of reminds me how they used to play when Carlton pitched - balls that normally got through somehow got stopped. Great pitching tends to pick the whole team up.
