I realize that I am late to the party on this one but I’ll throw in my two cents that noone will read anyway.

First, I don’t recall Roman ever booing in my presence. Maybe he booed the time (ummm, the one time in our presence that is) that Delgado dogged it to first on a popup in April, but that’s it.

I really don’t boo except for certain players that I want off the team (Scott Blowenweis–I boo and scream “I HATE YOU!!!” for this guy and Luis Castillo–I boo and scream “I’M COMING FOR YOUR FAMILY!!!” for this guy) due to management’s poor decision making. I also boo for lack of hustle.

As a general matter, I rarely boo but totally understand why Met fans are quick to do so. Met fans feel hurt. They feel cheated. They feel betrayed and lied to. They were promised a winner in the face of a scare campaign that caused a lot of people to buy season tickets just so they could get priority for CitiField; they get first dibs on even higher payments going forward. All for a team that broke their hearts two years in a row in epic fashion.

Therefore, they boo.

Wow, a somewhat positive piece on Cubs fans only two weeks after the rest of the assholes on this site piled on and on about Cubs fans sucking!

The reason I took such offense to the bullshit “booing is bad” comments after the Cubs lost is because you people act like you’ve never been pissed at your team for losing. You’re all a bunch of fucking hypocrites. The fans were cheering their asses off at the beginning of all the games, yet the Cubs still managed to commit SIX FUCKING ERRORS. Apparently you geniuses seem to think that was the Cubs fans’ fault.
