Mets players let their booing fans 'know how it feels' with strange thumbs down celebration

[Stradling]

So I guess players do care what fans think?

We're a bunch of rendons.

I never boo the Angels... but I don't really care if others do.  I'd rather sit next to someone who boos the team rather than one that complains all game long about the team.  One is much more annoying than the other, IMO.

As for the Mets and their players... I don't give a rip.

I booed the team in my younger, immature days. 

 

 

I'm still immature but I'm getting kind of old.

Yes, you're obviously getting old and forgetful.

These major league baseball players are millionaires, the fans, sponsors, sport and owners enable this. The players should be more tough skinned about matters like this.

Lol am I the only Angels fan terrified Javier Baez is going to end up here with Maddon as the manager? Please let's lock up a shortstop long term so we don't have to think about moving Fletcher to SS to make room for that dick at 2nd base because Maddon feels nostalgic for another ex Cub.

I hope to God we don't sign this guy! 

Here's my take on Baez.

The one that boos and gets on some players and the managers decisions also wants the team to win and gives praise and cheers the team on as well. 

I like to call them passionate sports fans. 

Like you, I'd rather associate myself with these types of fans than a superfan or as you described, a negative nancy that just bitches and moans about everything.

New Owner but still the Same Old Mets!

Steve Cohen purchased the Team but retained the Wilpons Manager, Coaches, Medical & Training Staff, and Scouts and rehired their failed GM Sandy Alderson. He traded for Francisco Lindor and extended him for 10 more years for $ 341 MM which he demanded prior to the Season without assessing if he fit and knowing that there was a plethora of top SS FA's coming in the offseason.

The Team was 4 Games in 1st Place and have had a brutal August and now are 7.5 GB in Division and Wildcard so they are done.  They can't hit with RISP and are at the bottom of most offensive categories and their ace SP Degrom has been MIA.  The FO big acquisition in the offseason was Baez while the Braves improved.  They Fubared the Draft # 10 pick with Kumar Rocker who they didn't sign and didn't line up a high upside talent as a backup plan unlike the Angels who bypassed him at # 9.  The Fans and Media are dishing it out but the Players ( Lindor who has been a massive failure & Baez who has just arrived can't handle this.)  What a mess as usual.  LOL

The Mets are MLB's version of a reality TV show, full of train wrecks and eye rolling moments... not that Angels are perfect by any means.

Great analogy.  Oh and the Owner spends his time on Twitter trolling the Mets fans.  Until yesterday's postgame presser when Baez was questioned about the thumbs down gesture as to it's meaning which to his credit he honestly answered nobody knew what the secret thumbs down hand gestures meant. Now that the media have rolled back the tapes, this has been going on since August 6th but nobody noticed because they rarely hit.  LOL

That's odd, not too long ago people here were spewing their loads over Cohen buying the Mets. 

Some even said they were jealous.

So should they care about what fans think or not?

Steve Cohen has deep pockets unlike the Wilpons but the Mets appear to be a vanity purchase for him just a rich man's toy so he can feel cool.

Tonight is an off day and Steve Cohen will be attending a Charity event with his 2 malcontents Lindor and Baez.  That should go well.  I wonder what the media will be interested in.

Sorry but I completely disagree. Most of the guys that boo are disrespectful assholes.

Yep.

Booing is childish, and is often followed by insults. And if you're black, you get more flavor.
