This really makes no sense. Mets fans, you need a serious fan intervention.

I know this World Series match up is the worst thing that you could have imagined when the season started six months ago. If you knew this would have happened back in April, you guys probably wouldn’t have bothered to even show up. Hell, I know a Met fan that has denounced baseball and claims that “he’s ready for the season to just be over.”

I get that this season didn’t go as planned. I get the Mets fans who are abstaining from rooting interest in this series. I even get those Met fans that are refrain from watching the series. If it’s that painful, then I won’t ask you to watch.

The Mets fans that annoy me are the ones who are choosing to support their division rival rather than their big brother from across town. I really need someone to explain this to me.

I know that Mets fans are far more anti-Yankee than most Yankee fans are anti-Met. I know that Mets fans have this “little brother” complex that keeps them awake at night. All they want is to prove that they can hang with their big brother and all his cool, older friends in the American League, but they can’t. They are always exposed for what they are. The cute red-headed little brother in the coke bottle glasses that still has a ton of growing up to do.

If the Yanks are the big brother in this little analogy, that would make the Phillies the neighborhood bully. For the last few years, they’ve dragged the Mets around the playground, and winning a championship last year didn’t make the situation any better. This season, with the Mets being pathetically awful, there was never a chance that the little redheaded kid was going snap and blindside the bully with a two by four when he least expected.

Now, here comes big brother to save the day. After the Phillies have ruled the playground for over a year, the Yankees are coming to take back what is rightfully theirs. The World Series has been exclusive property of the Yanks since it’s inception. They’ve occasionally let other teams borrow it, but no one has ever kept it for more than a little while.

So, why can’t the Mets put aside sibling rivalry and just enjoy watching the Phils get punched in the face? That’s whats going to happen. The Phillies are the Yankees-lite. They have good pitching, but Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee are not C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett. They have a good closer, but compare Brad Lidge to Mariano Rivera and you’re likely to get whacked by a guido in a Jeter jersey. They have a nice little lineup, but it pales in comparison to the Yanks absolutely deadly batting order.

So, why are the Mets fans going to sit here and rain on the Yankee parade and cheer for the team that they should hate most in the entire world? Did Jet fans root for the Patriots against the Giants in 2007? Nope. Would Giant fans want the Eagles to get a Super Bowl ring over the Jets? Absolutely not. That’s called having a common enemy.

So, Met fans, release the hate. Admit that your are just mad with your station in life as the Yankees adorable little brother that no one really cares about. If you can’t do that, don’t expect big brother to include you in the celebration after he wipes the floor with the bully that spend his days beating on you.
