Met fans have spent all baseball season trying to answer some tough questions.
In April, it was, "Why is our new stadium an ode to the Dodgers?" In June, it was "Why can't David Wright hit a home run?" And in August, it was "Why did I become a Mets fan in the first place?"
But now that we are staring at a Yanks-Phillies World Series, the big dilemma facing Met fans is, "Who do we root for?"

I’m with ya. I live 125 miles from Philly and I hate their fans. Have always hated the Yankees. What to do because I like baseball?
As a Cleveland fan, seeing Lee vs. CC tonight is just kind of heartbreaking.........
You can watch South American soccer with the Met players
Look at it this way. No matter who loses, you win!
Ouch - hadn’t even thought of that.
The best thing would be for one team to sweep so to get this teeth pulling over with ASAP.
There are Mets fans?
Why, THE Yankees, of course.
Duh!
LOL
14 of ‘em. they were at the season finale at CitiPark. Just before the All Star break.
No way! After the Yanks/Mets imbroglio with beaning Mike Piazza, tossing sawed off bat at him, No freaking way! National league rules rule! (If you’re gonna throw at our catcher, you should have the calliones to stand at the plate and take your licks as well!) Phils in six!

Ouch.
Ouch.
As a fellow Cleveland fan, I think "heartbreaking" might be too mild a term.

Yes, but the reverse is also true.
I’m leaning toward rooting for the Phillies, (I like Pedro Martinez and it would be nice to see A-ROID never win a championship) but there is really no good outcome in this Series for a Met fan. For me, this is sort of like Romney running against Obama.
As a lifetime Yankees fan, I rooted for the O’s in ‘69, the A’s in ‘73, and the Redsux in ‘86. A true Metsks fan, having his roots with the Dodgers cannot consciously root for ‘Da Bombers.
The only sport that there’s mutual rooting is Giants - Jets.
If you go to hockey Rangers - Devils - Islanders : Islanders/Devils will root for each other but never for the Rangers. Ranger fans arguably are the most loyal and won’t even watch hockey if their team is not playing.
The NBA is not often watched in my circle, The Knicks being more dreadful off the court than on it and with the Nets ready to be financed by Vladimir Putin.
I root for the team and the players, not the fans. The team is made up of stand-up guys who are very fan friendly. Just look at how they interacted with the fans after they clinched the NL pennant. They didn't retreat into the locker room to celebrate but brought themselves and their families out onto the field and celebrated with their fans.
Whichever team wins, though, I just hope it's because they earned it and not because the umpires screwed up calls to swing the outcome.

As an Indian fan you might want to consider all the former Indians that are in the post season. Ramirez,V.Martinez,Thome.. just off the top of my head.
