For me it hurt like hell.

But then, you know, apparently I'm not a true Met fan.

I'm sorry for the Mets--I truly am. A friend of mine who ironically lives in NYC is a great big Phillies fan and I was really glad for him that they came back in a big way.

Ha ha, don't be sorry for the Mets-- they played like crap coming down the stretch. Be sorry for us fans who stood by them faithfully and got our hearts ripped out as we watched them go down in flames.

I believe the term is bandwagon fan.

You are not a real Mets fan unless you answer yes to both questions.

Thanks for making me laugh today. My answer to both questions is "no" by the way.

Last I checked, that was the exact opposite of the definition of a bandwagon fan.

You cheered them on when they did well and then didn't when they didn't do well.

When did I say I didn't cheer them on when they weren't doing well? I was there all September, watching almost every game on TV, hoping and praying (and cheering!) until the very last out on Sunday. Not only that, but I've been cheering them on over the years even when they really sucked. I don't know where you're getting this from.

ETA: And I still have Mets stuff on my car... and not planning on taking it off... so....????
