Mets Fans/Phillies Fans

We all know if you're a Mets fan you hate the Phillies. Well That got me to thinking. Do you dislike the Phillies fans, or just the Phillies?  As for me I just dislike the Phillies. In a lot of ways  Phillies fans are just like Mets fans accept for rooting for the Phillies. I mean Phillies fans are just as critical and hard on their team as Mets fans are. Any player knows if they play for either of these teams they better perform or they'll be booed. The Phillies fans have been through all of the hardships just like the Mets fans. Now you could say that about any team, but I see a difference. I mean let's take the Pirates for instance. Their fans expect them to lose, so they aren't near as hard on them or themselves as we would be. I really think Mets and Phillies fans take losses harder then most fans of their team  do. Discounting the Yankees, Red Sox and Cubs fans. I don't know I kinda drifted into 2 different topics there. Anyways what's your take?

Screw the Phillies and their fans.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

Maybe

Mets and Phillie fans are cut from a similar mold, so we naturally dislike each other. I must admit that while I hate the Braves and Phillies. I’ve never met a Braves fan that I hated, but I can’t say the same about Phillie fans.

Braves fans

I put Braves fans in a total different class. Atlanta ain’t much of a sports town if you ask me.

True

They are unpassionate losers. Maybe thats why I don’t hate them.

The Fans

I like teams that are all rivals of Philly teams. Most fans can be civilized but at the same time most fans are loud, annoying, and put their teams that haven’t won championships since a decade before I was born on a pedestal.

Phillies fans

I lived in Philly for about 10 years (just moved last year) and, let me tell you, I can’t STAND their fans. First of all, they’re giant bandwagoners. No one gives a rat’s ASS about the Phillies if they’re not winning. Second of all, most of them know NOTHING about baseball. They just, as bandwagoners do, want to back a winner. Hate them with a passion.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
