I took the time last night to write a rebuttal column to the ESPN Page 2 piece by Jeff Pearlman about Mets fans. I believe there has been a loud minority of fans that frequent message boards cultivating this type of nonsense for a few years. These are the same fans that were angry when Omar Minaya dealt Kris Benson for Jorge Julio and a young pitcher back in the winter of 2005. Think about where this team would be without that deal.

I applaud Pearlman for taking on a delicate subject. What I want to make sure is that the rest of sports fans realize that these fringe kooks are not a fair representation of Mets fans. To read my entire rant, I mean column, click here.
