Oh please.  Complaining about your team's performance is part of being a fan. It's part of being glad you have a team.
The Bostonification of fandom.  "What does not kill me makes me whiney."

Yeah, we definitely have a lock on that market. ::rolleyes::

Y'ever listen to sports radio in Philly?  No way Boston has a lock on the whiney market.  :-D
And then there's the Mets.::yark::

Complaining isn't the ONLY thing that matters in being a fan.  But if you're a devoted follower of a sports team, when you have an emotional attachment,  it's hard not to be upset when things seem to be going wrong.

I'm long since past complaining about the Mets.  My expectations are so low that I'm genuinely excited at the prospect of breaking 70 wins next year.  They may just pull it off.

Another benefit of their ineptitude will be the availability of choice seats at Citi Field; of course the pricing won't reflect the quality of the product, but that's another story.

Oddly, they are lowering prices this year, so market forces may actually be injecting some sanity there.

As a Yankee fan I can say that every Met win is a disappointment for me.  If they lost all 162 games I'd be pining for a longer season.

Stubhub is your friend.  Seats were dirt cheap toward the end of last season.

Seats are always dirt cheap right before the game when they aren't selling out. I think the team dumps their extras on stubhub and underbids the lowest available to (a) get something for the unsold tix and (b) get people to the stadium buying beer and merch.

Sure, but you can't always find premium seats for 25% of face value a week before the game like you could for the Mets last fall.
