The Mets And Braves, Two Loser Franchises, Ought To Be Ashamed Of Themselves For Celebrating Together On The Field After Clinching Postseason Berths

I get that fans are always going to care more than the millionaire athletes actually playing the game.

Fans were watching this rivalry really start to ignite in the mid 90s.

They’ve been hating each other ever since.

But in the mid-90’s, Francisco Lindor was just a kid in Puerto Rico.

Ozzie Albies was just a kid living in Curacao.

They didn’t grow up with the instinctual hatred of the Mets or the Braves or the Phillies.

So I get players not being as invested in the rivalry as fans.

Not a goddamn chance.

Because they are competitors who understand that for be the best, you oughta absolutely despise your competition.

Stop trying to turn life into a Disney movie.
