I live in Las Vegas. I had a baseball package on the TeeVee and when ever the West Coast teams played the New York Met's wether in California or in New York, the games were blacked out. IN LAS VEGAS !! MLB and ESPN has something to do with it. So I changed to XM RADIO and get to hear all of the games. I have one in the car one portable for when I go to the Las Vegas 51 games, so I can die when the Met's lose or screw up. I get the local feed and some of the Homer's are very dull when they call a game. It's like listening to paint dry. The Las Vegas team is the Triple A team of the Dodgers. They'd be a good team if the Dodgers would leave them alone. I am a Met's fan as are we all. We live and die for them.

Living and dieing for a team that has historically been synonymous with losing, that set the all-time single season loss record at 120, that actually caused Stan Musial to delay his retirement a year because he wanted to return, already into his 40s in 1963, to get one more season to feast on Mets pitching. I have an English friend who loves the Manchester City Football Club (soccer), the lovable crosstown loser underdogs in a town dominated by the mega franchise, Manchester United. When I started talking about the Mets, crosstown from the 27-times WS winner Highlanders, we totally bonded...and now we follow each other's teams, and the suffering goes on. Mets, Jets, Knicks, Rangers, Manchester City...God love em all!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('70935','David in Manhattan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('70935','David in Manhattan','It must be some kind of personality type, this Mets fan thing.
