There is no consolation for Mets fans. They have been beneficiaries of an epic collapse. What's worse, when the Yankees were in the doldrums at the beginning of the season, Mets fans were crowing like nobody's business. Now, not so much.
Mets fans and Yankees fans hate the other team. New Yorkers are not permitted to like both teams. You must choose between them. You are even allowed to dislike fans of the other team.
Mets fans think Yankees fans are elitist snobs, and Yankees fans think Mets fans are low class slobs. I don't have an opinion about fans of these teams, except for the god forsaken lot known as the Bleacher Creatures at Yankee Stadium. They are not human.
The only thing a Yankees fan hates worse than a Mets fan is a Red Sox fan. I perversely root for the Red Sox.

I sat in the bleachers at Yankee Stadium for a night game once. You're not kidding.
The Red Sox sweep of the Yankees was the second-coolest event in baseball history, after the '69 Mets. But today's Mets are not the lovable slobs of old, they're almost Yankee Lite. A pox on both their houses.
