What about the other NY team???

Sometimes it seems like I am the only Met fan on this site. Alright, fine— maybe I’m being overly dramatic, but I think SC Nation is slightly skewed towards the Yankees. I dunno, maybe it’s the lack of Mets-related articles (I checked and I think the Mets section of the site should be renamed after Chuck Wipple), or just plain absence of enthusiasm for my boys from Queens. Sure, the Yankees have more World Series rings and star players, but so what? That doesn’t mean the Yankees are better. Actually, this year I can make a legitimate argument that the Mets have a better team than the Yankees (ok, the Yankees are probably still better, but we definitely have the better pitching staff). Even though half of the Met roster should be collecting social security checks, we have some of the game’s best players— Jose Reyes, David Wright, Johan Santana and Carlos Beltran— and they are actually approaching/in their primes. I guess what I am trying to say is: my boys from Shea deserve some love too (and their own countdown).
