I've hated their guts since I was a 9 year old suburban NYC kid rooting for any National League team that played them in their annual trip to the World Series. During the season I adored guys like Frank Lary and Camilo Pascual who could get the best of them.
It's torture to live in the NYC area and have to put up with the seeming constant coverage they get on the media, especially the radio (WFAN). I pay Sirius just to have an out when it gets too heavy.
This deal? That lineup needs Stanton like Carter needs liver pills. But what do I know? Zilch I guess. That said, their team and system look super loaded and I'm prepared for some suffering. Of course nothing is better than watching a hated rivel get close and miss while reaching for the brass ring. I can hope.
