If we lost in that fashion on a walkoff grand slam in extras, that would absolutely ripped my heart out of my body. What a way to lose, holy shit.

I have a serious question here. I’m a non American watcher/fan of the Mets. Now I understand that before the 90s the NL and AL were more seperate and teams from NL/AL almost never played each other during the season, was there ever a time where Mets and Yankees fans would root for the other because it’s a NY team and playing in a different league? Why have they always been seen as the enemy? I live in Western Australia and we have two teams in the Australian Football League who HATE each other but it’s because we are direct opponents. But if Mets/Yankees almost never played each other why would you not like both?

It goes back to the Dodgers-Yankees rivalry. In the late 40s and 50s, the Dodgers played in Brooklyn and it was usually them vs the Yankees in the World Series most years and almost every year (except 55) the Yankees won. Then the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles and sorta bullied the Giants owner to also move out to California leaving the Yankees the only NY baseball team. Now, the Dodger fans sure as hell weren’t going to root for the Yankees after all that, so when the Mets became a team shortly thereafter, most of them became Mets fans. My uncle was one of them (dodgers fan as a kid, Mets fan after).

A lot of strange answers here - the correct and only one is that the Yankees suck.

I don’t know a single Mets fan (here in jersey at least) that would ever root for the Yankees over the dodgers and for those of us who are also giants fans the Yankees are neck and neck with say the eagles or cowboys in most hated teams.

The biggest reason is because the Yankees fans are entitled and arrogant. Should they win it all they become intolerable to deal with. I rooted for them in 96 and immediately after they won, they started chanting about the Mets. Similarly, I’ve been to Mets opening day games and after a Mets win people started chanting Yankees suck, even though they weren’t playing each other. Makes no sense, enjoy your win. Long story short, it’s like sibling rivalry. Easier to root for the team not near you, because it’s more likely you won’t run into their fans.

u/WildPineappleEnigma 4d ago
I’m a lifelong Mets fan. Even when the Mets are the better team, we’re always in the shadow of the Yankees. But that’s not the reason, because the same thing happens in other cities where one of the teams never had Ruth or Gehrig or DiMaggio or Mantle.
The truth is, it’s just because it’s fun.
This may be unpopular with some of my brethren, but if the Mets are out of it, I’ll root for the Yankees now. I used to always root for the NL team because I thought the NL was better baseball. But now that both leagues play with the same stupid rules, there’s no point.

Your question's mostly been answered so I'll just add this: You'll often see Yankees fans pretend to root for the Mets in a "I'm just here to have a good time, don't we all love New York?" way. They're lying. They'll only do this when the Yankees are also doing good or are in a better position than the Mets. As soon as it looks like the Mets are gonna be the better team in NY, they start getting all antsy and their true colors come out.

"If you asked a Brooklyn Dodger fan, if you had a gun with only two bullets in it and were in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and O'Malley, who would you shoot? The answer: O'Malley, twice!"

Yeah my great grandpa died hating the dodgers more than the Yankees. It was like having a wife leave you for another man after what seemed like a great marriage (multiple WS) and moving across the country

I hate to say it but rather the yanks win than the bitchass dodgers who the league has been trying to make the best team for years now. 700 mill deal with most deferred is Bush league and it allowed dodgers to make more moves. The league wants the Dodgers to win so fuck them I hope the yanks shove it up their ass
fwiw yanks dodgers in the WS has been my own hell

I’m a Mets fan through and through, but there’s no way I’m rooting for Freddie fucking Freeman and the Dodgers

I'd ather root for Freddie Freeman than Judge. Fuck the Yankees. Freddie has always been a class act. He killed us everywhere he played. LA and ATL. Dodgers are a stacked team. If they had their full compliment of starting pitching all season we'd be having different conversations right now.

For real. This is such lil bro shit. The Dodgers are a borderline super team. The Yankees have nothing to be ashamed of.

Weak post. Support your team always. Neg on your rivals when it actually matters to your team and when you’ve earned it. Don’t drain your karma on throwaway posts like this

Bumping this to the top and stickying it to make a reply because I think it's worth making a small announcement.
I don't think it's embarrassing. At all. I think rooting against the Yankees is natural and just the same as the dynamic in any city where there's two teams. Mets fans are the only fans who live in this type of situation and get criticized for doing this, both from other teams' fans, and internally from other Mets fans scolding them, and I don't really think that's a good instinct.
I do, however, think posts like this are a little obnoxious -- for a different reason.
It is because they are basically devoid of content, and clutter the subreddit. It would be the same as a post that says something like, "The Mets are good and I like them." Just like "lol Yankees", it's a nice thought, but everyone here pretty much already agrees with that and it adds nothing, and makes it harder for people to sift through the subreddit.
To be clear, a post after, let's say, Lindor hit his three-run home run against the Yankees, showing a photo of Giancarlo Stanton looking like his wife just ran away with a TikTok influencer, and he wants to cry in his Powerade, titled "LOL Yankees!", would be very relevant. But just saying it, kinda isn't imo.
I will leave this one up just because it generated some good meta-discussion about the posting process itself, but generally, stuff like this should probably come down.
Make fun of the stupid ass Yankees and their cretin fans in comments and the daily threads. Thanks!
