	Well, I'm an Atlanta Braves fan, and I am starting to develop a new problem with the New York Mets. The problem is, I'm starting to respect some of their fans on this site and now I almost feel bad cheering against them. I will never be a Mets fan, but this problem better not get worse. I need to find a way to talk trash on the Mets, without harrassing. Some Red Sox and Yankees fans manage it, but most just come off as D-Bags. Any advice?

	I've noticed this as well LJ. The Mets fans here seem very knowledgable and for the most part respectful. I think they understand a good ribbing here and there and would appreciate reciprocating the favor on the Mets winning nights.

	I think EMTB and I have a pretty decent relationship without much d-baggery. Same thing with MASPETHMETSFAN and ReyesforMVP. Maybe it's not to bitter because the rivalry never really started kicking in until this year, maybe it's because all of us are decent people. If it makes you feel any better, just imagine that Sal Pacino is still here.

	I miss Sal. And as with any team that gains rapid popularity and loses it, the idiot fans come and then move on to another team. It happened to the Brewers last year... it'll happen to some team this year

	I've had some similar thoughts about a few Braves fans as well. Same with bwest and Philsfan, a few other too many too mention in one thread. There can be respected yet still heated rivialries with out getting out of control. Give and Take!

We have a good team...it just hasn't gelled yet...or at least that's what I keep telling myself.In all due respect, it was aimed at the Reds of last year, and not this year. There is no denying that the team sucked last year. All in all, I like the Reds. I have a brother who has always been a die hard reds fan to piss off my die hard Dodgers fan mom.
