Met fans are Met fans. Yankee fans are Yankee fans. My father watched the Yankees when there was absolutely no other baseball on television. Although we lived within spitting distance of the stadium (and I use "spitting" because I'm sure that's what he did when he walked by it), the family never went to a game. We traveled to Queens to see the Mets, by subway I might add.
He hated the Yankees. I mean, HATED the Yankees. All because the team dragged their feet on integration. They were the second to last MLB team to integrate, just before the much hated Boston Red Sox.
Now, if only these politicians stick to important convictions when they are elected, the world would be a better place. #congress
@afterabe: There's a difference between being a fan of a team and being a dick about another team's good fortune. He wasn't being asked to give BJs to the entirety of the Yankees, they just asked him to sign a "Congratulations" letter, basically. It's just kind of a sad move. I mean, do you think every president wants and likes the players of every winning sports team? I mean, my god, can you imagine trying to have a conversation with Ben Roethlisberger? No, of course not, because that would be horrible, but they still invite them over or make a "Nice job!" phone call when teams win anyway.
Thankfully no one will remember this in the future because who cares if a baseball fan (especially Mets fans, these days) acts like a big prick? That is called "Tuesday" so whatever. #congress
This gathering was in my neighborhood, and I wanted to go but, alas, I work, and anyway, I'm about a third of the age of most of the participants.
If the Post really wants to hear crazy old people yelling at Weiner, they should hold up the lunch service. They'll be some kvetching, for sure.
Seniors being afraid of health care reform doesn't make sense but it's difficult to reason with them.
It's like Grandma's apprehension about using a DVR to record her shows instead for the VCR that she's used to. While at the same time she's complaining about how hard it is to find VCR tapes and she always forgets to set the machine...

Wasn't he notorious for being a bit of a playboy around Washington a couple years back? I remember reading an article where he came across as somewhat lecherous. Where's Jessica Cutler when you need her?
Is it too late to bring back Gifford Miller? I am not kidding. He may not have been perfect, but at least he wasn't a Bloomberg lapdog like Quinn. Plus, he is cute.
