My Thoughts

Every year I patiently wait for my favorite sports time of the year. I watch every game and critique almost every move leading up to the fall classic. This year, however, is slightly different.

With the World Series now tied one a piece heading back to Philadelphia it made me think. Watching Pedro Martinez return to the Bronx and pitching in the World Series was an image I have been visualizing for the last couple of years. With one exception: I thought his long curly hair would be pushing out of a Mets cap, rather then a red Phillies hat as he walked off the mound with a gutsy pitching performance pointing to the sky.

As a die hard New York Mets fan I am torn this October. This is a position that I do not like being in nor am I familiar with it.

Do I root for the Yankees? A team that every Mets fan dislikes. The empire that has taken the back tabloids from the Metropolitans almost every day. Or do I root for the Phillies? A team that comes out openly and speaks about how they love beating the Mets. The Phillies are public enemy number one in Queens.

Yankees? Phillies? Such a tough decision, especially because I still find myself rooting for Pedro Martinez, despite him wearing red pinstripes.

After a couple of weeks, I have finally made my verdict. Even though I cannot see myself rooting for Derek Jeter or Jorge Posada I will be pulling for New York to win the series. Deep down I just cannot stand to see the Phillies, the team I hate most in professional sports, win another World Series. Last year was heart wrenching and I can only imagine what could be.

Once again, this is a position no Mets fan should be in. I will watch the rest of the World Series and do my best to try and root the Yankees on, but by no means necessary am I going to get used to this. Personally, I like to say I am rooting against the Phillies rather then rooting for the Yankees.
