Your priorities are a tad messed up. You should be a disappointed Met fan, because your team spent a ton of $$$ in the off-season on new players, and a new manager, and you are in the basement.
You're a .500 team, and so are they. They just lost 3 out of 4 to the D-Rays, so, it's not like you're beating a well oiled machine.
So, if beating the Yanks is what makes Met fans happy, well, this is your one year to rejoice.
If winning your division and going to the playoffs is what makes Met fans happy, well, this is likely not your year to rejoice.
As for the Orioles comment, agreed. Kudos to them and Mazilli for being in front this long, very impressive and unexpected. Will be interesting to see if they make a trade to bolster their pitching staff (Schmidt??), or if they stand pat and roll the dice. Need Mora back, though.

perhaps the 26 championships and decades of winning has something to do with it.
i'm a met fan, and i'm not crazy about those guys in pinstripes... but let's not go crazy... the mets are not, and never will be, the franchise that the yankees are... there isn't a team in all of baseball that can match the yankees track record of success.
that said... this current year's team is a bunch of over-paid prima donnas... (who unfortunatly could still turn it around and stop underachieving at anytime, and tend to go on a winning streak every time i proclaim them dead in the water... so thus then by praising them i hope to use a little reverse psychology on the ole' karma thing)

The numbers are fairly comparable now, but Manny is 4 years younger.randhail said:
The numbers are comparable but when you see the whole picture, I'd take Piazza over Manny.
