Hating The Yankees With The Strokes

casblanaca.jpgThis offseason has been a somewhat difficult one for Mets fans, who are still trying to deal with the glue that held Carlos Beltran's bat to his shoulder and the creeping sense that they really are going to sign Moises Alou. And it's not just your smart fans hand-wringing either. One of the quieter huge Mets fans out there: Singer Julian Casablancas, who loves the Mets so much he actually agreed to an interview with a blog about them. He talks about watching the MLB.com package while on the road, how the Cardinals were mediocre and, of course, the Yankees. More specifically, their fans

Yankee fans are kind of dicks ... No, I mean, I don't know, I just think they're kind of mercenary.

We like the idea of rock stars hating the Yankees, screaming at the television while snorting lines of blow off three groupies' tan lines. It makes it seem so glamorous. Particularly after doing an interview with a baseball blog.
