DH and I are HUGE Mets fans, and we are raising our kids right, to be the same. One ds followed the yankees for a season but his brother cured him of that. No other sports though, as baseball is the only REAL sport. We take the kids to see the Brooklyn Cyclones also, which is a Mets class A minor league team. It is lots of fun, and is not that expensive.

I'm a huge yankee fan. My husband just asked me yesterday if im gonna be into the season again like I was last year cuz when there's a game he claims nothing gets done in the house Very Happy

When I was in labor with my daughter last May I was lucky there was a game on that I was able to watch on the tv in the delivery room.

Did any of you ever go to a Yankee game on Chol Hamoed Pesach? I would say that more then half the fans at the game are frum. Too bad they aren't at home this year.

I went once like 15 years ago, I think it was Pesach. Anyway, we brought our own soda but they wouldnt let us bring it in. We refused to throw them out so we all just drank them until we couldnt anymore. A different time we went with my husbands little cousin. Well needless to saybetween the liebers chips and eggs he threw up over the entire back seat including the other person in the back. YUCH!!

I am a HUGE yankee fan, Im sooo excited to have them back. My dh plays fantasy baseball with his office and I was busy building his team for a few weeks. I LOVE going to games, my dh;s office has awesome seats and we go a fair amount, we took ds for the first time last year to a day game, hes been talking about it ever since.

GO YANKS!!

They haven't been home on chol hamoed in a while, but I went to a couple of games back in the day when they were - it's a riot! They let people bring in whatever they wanted, and believe me, people brought in suitcases full of food! You would think we would starve during a 3 hour ball game...

My husband doesn't follow sports at all, and I think my over enthusiasm gets on his nerves... oh well! He does get into it around playoff season. And he enjoyed the Superbowl this year.

While I am a Jets fan, I did root for the Giants this year, because I just could not bring myself to root for a New England team (Boo Red Sox!!!)

Yeah, The Red Sox have finally gotten the better of the Yanks the last few years, it only took 86 years! Hopefully this year the Yanks will win, restoring the natural order of the Universe!

The best day of my life as a Yankee hater was when they were up 3 games to nothing in the playoffs against Boston and then proceeded to lose the next 4 in a row. They actually did something that had never been done in sports before. Never had a team down 3 games to none come back to win. Oh it was so fun watching it. It was bliss!!! And they can go on and on "" 26 championships we are so great!! well what have you done for me lately. Good for you red sox fans!!!!

Why so much hate? Jealousy perhaps??? LOL

No team ever blew a 7 game lead with 17 games left in the season either before the Mets did just that last year!

fleetwood

No, not jealous, although I am happy that the Mets have followed the Yankees lead and "bought"some all star talent. So I guess we'll see. Although maybe the Mets can also buy Clemens like the Yanks, but only if he continues to keep "pumping "it up. LOL
