AND THAT’S A WRAP.

And we’re done.

I have been watching, despite saying I wouldn’t; many nights I would just hop on Twitter and get caught up, or check progress on At Bat or Gameday.

I am going to advocate the strong position that you do not need to root for anybody in the World Series. By all means, watch the games, enjoy baseball. But this nonsense that Mets fans “have” to root for the Yankees or “have” to root for the Phillies is just that - nonsense. There is no requirement that you have to root for a team in order to watch a baseball game. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Maybe for fans of other teams they can temporarily take a side. But not these two teams for Mets fans. I mean, obviously, do what you like, but it doesn’t make any sense that Mets fans are suddenly flocking to either side with mandates that we “must” root for the Phillies or that we “must” root for the Yankees.

I am not rooting for anyone. I do not have to. And I absolutely will not root for either team. I also have no intention of watching. The outcome is irrelevant to me.

Just a couple of months until pitchers and catchers report.

P.S. You can read more of this theme - written some time after the last out last night, so please take it with a grain of salt - over at Jesse Spector’s Touching Base blog at the Daily News.

Yup. I’ll do my usual thing, but I have had no rooting interest since the first round. Sometimes I root for ex-As or ex-Mets, but they balance out this time.

Three. Very. Long. Months.

I know many who feel the same way! I am one of those people who have zero interest in watching the World Series now that it’s the Yankees and Phillies. Boo. Yuck.

I’ll be rooting for the Yankees, if you want to call it that, only because I’ve grown a resistance to their fan’s attitude. A Phillie win would be worse than a Yankee win.

What I don’t want next season for 9 games at Shiti-Field is 35,000 Phillie fans with red shirts that read, “2x WFC Baby!”, their yelling of, “Back to back, and one over the Yanks! You couldn’t do that, because your team sucks!”

I will go postal.

It’s the lesser of two evils.

I am still holding out hope that the Goodyear blimp needs to be filled with hydrogren and hindenburgs during a game.
