Let\'s hear it for spite!
Once your team has arguably the worst collapse in history, there's little left but spite. Luckily, spite has been doing well so far this post-season.
(1) Phillies get swept. At one point, I had actually hoped both the Phillies and Mets would make the playoffs. But when that didn't happen, I considered the thought of having to be around proud Phillies fans, which made me root hard against them. Now it doesn't seem like such a big deal that the Phillies got to play 3 more games then the Mets. (2) Cubs get swept. This is entirely about a very irritating brother-in-law who is a Cubs fan. But for him, I would definitely have cheered for them. He is so annoying, though, I had little choice. (3) Yankees are 1 game away from being swept. Not only might they be swept, they might do it with Arod going down in flames again, and Clemens might come up empty in the one remaining spot that could have justified his silly contract. Hearing Yankee fans fret over another first-round failure would make my life much more bearable this off-season. (Of course, if they win the series, I'll return to hell.) Let's hear it for spite!

Re: Let\'s hear it for spite!
Let's hear it for schadenfreude! All my teams rule because I'm from Boston so I have no spite, but I still have gotten a big kick out of the misfortunes of the Mets, Notre Dame, Michigan, Milton Bradley, and Michael Vick.

[/ QUOTE ] funny thing is .... i am the most passionate mets fan in the world. and for some reason .. the collapse did not hurt me as much as it should. being at game 7 and watching beltran look at strike 3 >>>>>>>>> mets collapse this year when they prob didnt have the pitching to do well in the postseason anyway on the hurt scale so yeah blah blah biggest collapse ever. I dont care. Yankees losing to the redsox in 04 being up 3 games to 0 and being up by 2 runs in the 9th with the greatest closer in baseball history in the game hurts much more than the mets choking and not winning a division, when they would have had to win 2 more rounds of playoffs to make the world series
