I happy to see that chose the U.S. team rather than going for that F.A. offer from Bulgaria.

You root for the fascist tyrant who wants to overthrow the USA government and install himself as President by brute violence.

I don't recall ever caring who won, it's a fun exhibition and it's 'funner'

to see Mets on all the other teams of their choosing.

I know. Ceets has Italian ancestry. As if rooting for Team USA is supposed to validate your patriotic bona fides. Jeez, put that post in its proper context.

I dont ever recall even caring if they even played those games. See my sarcastic I'm thrilled post above.

I actually enjoyed the first one, in whatever year that was, a lot more than I expected.



By the time the second one came around, I was completely disinterested. And have remained so.

David Wright's grand slam in 2013 was a lot of fun.



Wasn't trying to spark a dust up. I think it's fun to watch. Would love to get to one of the games. Some are played near where my parents live.

Piazza managing that club, though I'm not sure that is encouraging or discouraging given his MAGA nature.





The Puerto Rican team is still American too. Though, the Dominican Team will likely have a stacked team too. And Ohtani on Japan?



And USA might have maga idiots like Realmuto and Arenado. bleh, garbage.

So I dont care what you care. So what's your point? I have to like these games because you do? Someone who voted for Trump twice is patriotic because he roots for Pete Alonso?

Re: Waving the Flag - Team USA Baseball

What is your problem? I didn't say I liked them. I have nothing to with

Trump. Don't get your ass all in an uproar with me. Marshmallow can't

see your posts so you need to make sport of me? GROW UP!!

I dont care what he reads.What does that have to do with anything, anyways? If he thinks he's a patriot, which he most certainly is not, I'm gonna respond. And if youse wanna gush over a single game elimination exhibition baseball tournament played in the Spring, me and Grimm are allowed to express our disinterest. I dont see you taking on Grimm's post, BTW.

Oh for FUCK'S SAKE WHY DOES EVERY THREAD TURN TO BULLSHIT



Are we in a fucking pennant race, having a fucking awesome year, or are we going to piddly-dick every fucking comment? This is supposed to be a Mets message board. Fuck. Fine. You win, batmags. You've fucking made everyone miserable.

Fine. But at least I'm not voting for Trump twice and then lording my so called patriotism over other posters on account of rooting for Pete Alonso. What'll he say next? That Trump made the trains run on time?

Please try. Piddly-dicking is the worst.



I hope P.J. Conlon comes out of retirement to pitch for Ireland. (OE: Looks like they've been eliminated.)
