We all know if you're a Mets fan you hate the Phillies. Well That got me to thinking. Do you dislike the Phillies fans, or just the Phillies?  As for me I just dislike the Phillies. In a lot of ways  Phillies fans are just like Mets fans accept for rooting for the Phillies. I mean Phillies fans are just as critical and hard on their team as Mets fans are. Any player knows if they play for either of these teams they better perform or they'll be booed. The Phillies fans have been through all of the hardships just like the Mets fans. Now you could say that about any team, but I see a difference. I mean let's take the Pirates for instance. Their fans expect them to lose, so they aren't near as hard on them or themselves as we would be. I really think Mets and Phillies fans take losses harder then most fans of their team  do. Discounting the Yankees, Red Sox and Cubs fans. I don't know I kinda drifted into 2 different topics there. Anyways what's your take?

I know this topic has probably been visited many a time, but i'm new to this Mets page so I figured i'd re-visit it. I use to run a fansite on myspace called Mets Nation. Well I got rid of the site this past offseason, cause I just couldn't keep up with it. I do remember a lot of Mets fans cursing the Mets for trading Milledge. Well I just wanna get a feel from Mets fans a month in to the season. My opinion is that we got the better end of the deal. I love Ryan Church! Hell I said that right after the deal. I really wasn't high on Scheidner, but he's played pretty well despite the freak injuries he's been having lately. As for Milledge, I think he will be no better then Preston Wilson. I never saw all the hype. I actually ain't on board with the F-Mart hype yet either. The guy that will make strides will be Mr. Mike Carp. Mark my words. Well that's a different topic all together. So sound off on what your take is on the Milledge trade up to this point.

 Well it's pretty clear that the Diamondbacks are the best team in baseball after april. I'm not saying they will be all season, but right now they are. This can be a big statement series for the Mets or it could become a major coming out party for the young, hungry and energetic D-Backs. I'm glad Billy Wagner called out the Mets players after getting stomped by the Pirates...yes the Pirates. The team playing in that game looked like the same team that was playing in the Cubs 2 game series. Not to mention that team from last year. It's time for the Mets to start hitting! If they struggle to hit in Arizona, they won't be able to blame the weather.  Chances are we won't beat Brandon Webb, but let's take 2 out of 3! It's time for the Mets to make a statement!
