Entourage disses the Mets.

Where do I begin...

So. Now this show is on my shitlist.

Even though they never said anything about baseball before, we all knew that they were from New York. We all knew that the character Turtle is a Yankees fan.

But now, they have verbally bashed the Mets.

"It's not like the Yankees are in town."
"Yeah, or the Mets."
"...who cares about the Mets?"

I do, you ass.

Sorry, this really made me angry.

Stupid....fictional characters....and there...stupid fictional favorite baseball teams...

Entoutage

Typical?

From my limited exposure to this show, it is my understanding that Turtle is a untalented, barely-literate slob who is frequently an embarassment to his friends.

Perhaps the writers are commenting on Yankees fans in general.

And aren't "the boys" supposed to be from Queens?

who cares?

It's a silly TV show. Big deal. You can always watch Seinfeld reruns if you want the see the Yankees get skewered.

However, if you want some evidence of the respect the Mets command now, check this out:

I know it's early, and these numbers could change, but I don't think the Mets are going to fall very far in the attendance race. It also can't be a good sign for Steinbrenner and the bouys when the early season returns show attendance has dropped over 4,000 per game.

Driving the Oliver Perez bandwagon!

Interesting, but

The sample may be skewed by the fact that the Mets just played 3 games at home against their hated divsion rival during what was the first nice weekend of the young season.

Like Entourage But ....

My wife and I were both pissed by this comment. We had a WTF moment since these guys are supposed to be from Queens.

An important thing to remember - none of the actors and probably none of the writers are from NY so they don't get the distinction.

The writer

is probably a Dodger fan.

Different reaction

The actor who playes turtle is from the Bronx in real life. He refused to wear Mets gear on the show.

I watch the show with 6 or 7 Mets fans each week. We were all happy that Drama is a fan. Probably means that Vince is as well. It is clear that Eric is one.

We were all pumped that the Mets were mentioned.
