"Last October, after the Mets succumbed to the three-week wonder that was the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals, I engaged a gaggle of Mets fans in dialogue about the pecking order of New York baseball. The debate quickly got prickly, as Yankee devotees played the 'Yadier Molina? Seriously?' card and Mets boosters went the '$190 million can buy you Botswana, but not a World Series title' route."
Yes, indeed.
The famous prickly debate ender. The "Yadier Molina? Seriously?" card.
I'm guessing Yadier Molina is the Cardinal who hit the game-winning homerun against the Mets in Game Seven of the NLCS.
I'm also guessing that Larry Dobrow never actually met a person who ever played the "Yadier Molina? Seriously?" card.
Yankee fans were probably unconcerned with the Mets. Yankee fans were debating whether or not their manager should be re-hired.
If I remember correctly, I think that I argued that the Yankee manager should not be re-hired at that time.
There are no prickly debates regarding the Yankees vs. the Mets. Nobody cares.
All the people who show up at Shea to watch the Yankees but couldn't be bothered to watch the Brewers are pathetic excuses for fans. Same goes for their counterparts in the Bronx.
Even if the Yankees sweep the Mets, the Yankees will be a mere.500 and purt near 10 games out. The Mets will possibly still be in first place.
