I agree with Eddie Coleman. This is why I'm rooting for the Phightin' Phils...

WFAN - The Fan - Hey Mets Fans, Root For Phils

New York, NY (WFAN) -- I've run into so many Mets fans during the playoffs who've told me they're hiding their heads in the sand, hoping that both these teams will just go away. My response has been this - you should root for the Phillies. Why? Because if you're a Met fan, you should only hope that your team can be like the Phillies in the years to come. If I was a fan, I would want my team to be comprised of players that show the hustle and attitude of a Shane Victorino, the bravado and confidence of a Jimmy Rollins, the grit and gamer quality of a Chase Utley and Jayson Werth, and the professionalism of a Raul Ibanez and Pedro Feliz. Face it - the Mets and probably every team in baseball will never have the money that the Yankees can spend, will spend and have spent already. If I was a fan, I could easily root for the Phillies - because that's the type of team I'd want my team to be.
