I think a lot of people don't realize how disliked the owners of the Mets and Yanks are and how those feelings are turning off the die hards from going to games and just losing interest in general. Myself and a lot of of other Mets fans refuse to buy tickets because we're sick of being treated like idiots. It's not even the poor play it's how arrogant and insulting the front office is towards the die hards. And evidently it seems Yankee fans feel the same out towards the Yanks front office. You have a die hard like Reb talking about bring his kids to a Mets game because he is that disgusted with what the Yanks have become and who they cater to now. BTW Reb don't do that to your son. Take him to a Cyclones, LI Ducks, a 50 and over softball game, just don't take him to a Mets game, if you love him you won't do that to him lol. Eventually the die hards slowly don't care as much. You have a new generation of kids who parents either don't take him because they aren't as passionate as they used to be or they just can't afford it and you get a generation of kids that don't care about Baseball as much as the previous did.
Are you a yankee fan ? This team is the most unlikablr team we ever had in recent years . The fan favorites mo, matsui , Damon cervelli Jesus etc aren't there , no one likes girardi hes a prickly smug guy unlike Torre who controlled the media and made you feel confident , no big free agents no clutch wins really .
