Citi ApathyThe 2006 NLCS debacle, followed by the 2007 and 2008 collapses, culminating in this season's pathetic showing, have brought the Mets to a new low, with their fans not caring about them anymore.
Has there ever been a time quite like this before? In the past, disappointment was accompanied by anger (George Foster, Bobby Bonilla, Victor Zambrano, etc.) and/or by hope that the young prospects (Craig Swan, Tim Leary, Generation K, etc.) would help turn things around.
Meanwhile, the Yankees have been the best team in baseball. Raising children to be Mets fans is going to be a real challenge.
