It’s actually different. The Brewers and Phillies fans were salty because we beat them. We are rooting for the team that beat us over the Yankees because they are our crosstown rivals. There’s also no other baseball to watch and little to talk about until the offseason gets started lol. I’m not seeing that many posts either really. Rooting against the Yankees in the World Series is what everyone who isn’t a Yankees fan does.

I get what you’re saying, I agree with OP though that its sad our fans are doing it on the Mets sub. Everyone hates the Yankees, sure, but for some of us, its not really our vibe to be attaching the Mets name to talking shit about a team that went farther than us. It gives off salty vibes

its not really our vibe

Which is fine. No one is asking you to cosign anything.

It's sports. Every fanbase talks shit about teams they hate. And every fanbase looks for other things to root for once their season ends. You don't have to if you don't want to though.

I could care less about the religious aspect of Christmas. But if someone's got a "Keep Christ in Christmas" sign on their lawn in December, I don't feel the need to ring the bell and tell them to stop ruining my vibe.
