Mets’ Daddy doesn’t sugar coat anything. For Mets fans who want to be liberated, it’s a must read. For Mets fans in denial, avoid it and continue your fantasy.
Why are you so addicted to them. For a Yankee fan, you sure seem to love the mets
Why do you comment on everybody else’s comments?
This has become comment inception
Because there’s a lot of people who don’t understand why they’re talking about on here
*what they’re talking about. Pretty ironic huh!
Oh boy GOAT. You are such an expert that your name fooled me. The Mets get everything that they deserve. It’s Mets fans like you that are delirious to the realities which are undisputed.
I’m not a mets fan but your constant trolling of them is getting tired.
mikey..the Mets just promoted Tebow..they are beyond pathetic!
But- he’s not a Mets fan. This is why no one likes Yankees fans.
Oh boy EVENTUALLY. Such an expert that you can make absolute statements. How about one that covers your team, huh? Please leave out the foolish optimism and cut to the chase.
Why do you always crash the party? By the way aren’t you a Jays fan?
Didn’t know trolling was a party and yes I am
He’s the type of Jays fan who eats, sleeps and breathes Sportsnets garbage posts about the Jays instead of formulating his own thoughts.
Ok?
Needs to mend his insecurities.
Get realistic and change your name. Metshopeless is much more accurate. Or Abusedbymets is a good one.
Otherwise you instantly lose credibility when you post.
I stand corrected.
