OK, I am a Mets fan, and all indications are that they are going to SUCK ASS this year. Johan Santana out for half the year, Beltran and Bay gimpy, Reyes and Wright coming off roller-coaster seasons, and a pitching staff of band-aid journeymen like Chris Capuano and Chris Young.

Any Tribe fans want to make a season-long avatar bet on which team has the better record? Maybe one bet for the first half of the year, one for the second?

Reds fans need not apply, you guys actually have a team worth rooting for.

PS, what ever happened to that poster Natron? He was the only other Mets fan around, haven't seen him in a long time.

I was in Charleston last weekend, watched the game with my wife and friends (and some random OSU fans at the bar). Man that ending killed, we were a bit "animated" after that final shot, waitress told us to chill or GTFU haha. Will definitely be back at Manny's in the fall for football season.

Man, the Coupons ... I mean the Wilpons ... have broken the spirit of all Mets fans. I have zero expectations for this team, I just look forward to hitting games at Citi Field for two reasons: Shake Shack in centerfield, which is just ridiculous, and Gallaghers strip club just off the 7-train on the way back to Manhattan haha

Manny's went absolutely silent. They didn't open the upstairs...which sucked, but they had the sound on the bottom floor, so it was still cool. My friends on 90th just moved to the upper west side, but we'll still be back there next year. I actually went to Tonic for the George Mason game.....not feelin it. Manny's environment is wayy better!

Excellent! I am open to negotiation ... how about this for a rough draft:

*Loser must post avatar of winner's choice from the end of baseball season to the beginning of the next baseball season
*Avatar must include one component of the winner's favorite team, and one component of something humorous or involving a hot semi-naked woman or a midget
*If winner's team finishes 10+ games better than the loser's team, loser must also include signature of winner's choice

Care to add or revise?

Why would you have to chose? You're a pirates fan, whats there to chose between? I dont have to chose because I'm an Indians fan, thus dont know why you'd have to chose.

You may not know this because you haven't left mom's basement yet, but out in the real world when people move to real cities that have multiple sports teams, it helps to find one to "cheer" for in order to fit in better with the locals.

If there's any part of that you can't comprehend, well, I'm not a miracle worker.

lol at wanting to fit in with the locals based on a sports team. They then wouldnt respect you being a bandwagon jumper and not loyal to your team. Since you're not a real fan I wouldnt expect you to understand this.

Also How in the hell would you know? You're still going to OSU, lolfail.

Notice the word "cheer" in quotation marks. I didn't say get emotionally invested, I said cheer but used quotation marks to mean you might not be really cheering for them. If you're going to live in a place where people might actually care (right or wrong) what you say, it probably isn't a bad idea to pick sides.

Some examples for you narrow minded assholes.

New York: (Mets or Yankees)
New York: (Giants or Jets)
Los Angeles: (Lakers or Clippers)
Austin, TX (Houston or Dallas)
Any city in the middle of Florida (Orlando or Miami)
Bay Area (San Francisco or Oakland).

I'm not saying anybody has to choose sides, and I'm not even saying that I would (continue on assuming raw dawg, but when I attend law school in Arizona I won't be "cheering" on the Cardinals), but I'm providing a logical justification for why someone would to a person who is so dumb they can't comprehend why (CoA).

So essentially be fake, and pretend you like a team in order to "fit in." Sorry, not every person in the world is like rock and capone, where their lives depend on a specific city's professional teams. If you don't cheer for their team, or even if you dislike their team, they are not going to hate you. If they do, they are pretty pathetic and you shouldn't really worry about "fitting in" with a crowd like that. If you want to relate with them, discuss topics they are interested (i.e. sports) and display you have a knowledge for them. They are more likely respect you for that, and respect you for showing loyalty and pride in your own team, as oppose to "cheering" for their team. As long as you are not an asshole, you will "fit in."

So you had this convo with your friends and they said "lhslep, you know how you fit in these big cities? All you have to do is be fake, and pretend you like the teams they support. Then you will fit in!"

Give me a break. Cities like that have high populations, so chances are you are going to find a group of people who share your common interests. There is no need to be fake about it.

All kidding aside, the talking head on 93.7 out of Pittsburgh made a bet with someone that the Yankees would score more runs this season than the Pirates and Mariners combined.
