N.Y. Sun: Keri: Phillies Versus Mets: The Tale of the Tape
They’ve battled back and forth throughout the second half, flipping between winning and losing streaks, watching key players heat up and cool down, and switching spots in the standings more than once. Now, with the Phillies just two games behind the Mets for first place in the NL East before last night’s games, and the two teams gearing up for a huge three-game series at Shea this weekend, it’s time to weigh in.
HATRED OF BRAVES
The Braves are 20 games under .500 at this writing, their sort-of-but-not-really dynasty of 1991-2005 now squarely in the rearview mirror. Even that winning era is a source of controversy for fans of other NL East teams, as the Braves like to tout their 14 straight NL East titles, ignoring the fact that the Montreal Expos were cleaning their clocks in 1994 at the time of the players’ strike. When the Braves lose, everyone else wins.
Advantage: Everyone
Damn those Preston Hanna Barbarians!!

I hate the Mets of course, and I consider them to be rivals(due to the 80's) but I also respect their fans (even the ones that wanted to dump Delgado and claim he was done in June) and think "at least they aren't the Yankees" (and I like the Yankees more than the Red Sox, 2 years ago that wasn't the case)
As far as embarrassments for a Mets fan go, this, for me, ranks above Vince Coleman.
