Bill Maher joins MLB

According to Metsblog, Bill Maher has ponied up $20million to buy an interest in the New York Mets. Any Mets fans here, like myself, may be thrilled that Santana pitched that first Met no hitter before this news went public. Being a Mets fan just became infinitely difficult.

The best reason to root against the Mets.

If that filthy punk were to gain an ownership interest in the Red Sox,Patriots or Bruins (I'm not a basketball fan) I'd divorce that team completely and I'd let them know why.

But Rush can’t own an NFL team?

Now that's a cheap thrill, everybody knows it was a one-hitter. The ump must be the one Patrick Fitzgerald was talking about, with sand in his eyes.

As a Yankees fan, my typical reaction to the Mets, and Yankees-hating Mets fans has always been "I don't hate the Mets. I NOTHING the Mets. The Mets fortunes have been relevant to Yankees fans exactly twice in history: In 1986, when I actually rooted for the Mets, and in 2000, when they were an overmatched WS opponent for a Yankees dynasty.

My reaction to Bill Mahr has always been pretty much the same. I NOTHING the man. Thus, it takes the combination of the two to finally make me hate both.

Sort of like "Two great tastes that taste great together," only exactly the opposite.

OK I am now a Yankees fan, as of this moment.

I will never again root for the Mets or attend one of their games. I will never watch them on television.

Bingo! Maher is the most disgusting piece of trash I’ve ever seen. Rush is uplifting and encourages people to reach for the stars. More leftist hypocrisy on parade.

A very small interest. He's an investor, not an owner. Not a very big deal, unless you're the type who refuses to buy a Macbook because someone you hate owns a few shares of Apple stock.

I don't think Rush would ever want to buy an interest in the NY Mets!

I think that ump was working first base in a certain WS game also.

I find it amazing that a man with as little talent as Bill Maher has $20 million to spend. HBO must be charging way to much. How much could this guy be making to thrill his hundreds of viewers?

Rush was done in by ignorant black racists, enabled by self-hating, “progressive” whites too cowardly to stand up to their arrogant entitlement buffoonery.
