I find Carton completely unlistenable - he's what I put on the alarm clock radio when I need to get up extra-early in the morning, so that I move quickly to get the radio off. His opinions are usually dopey, and his voice is just horrible to listen to. It's not a voice made for radio, that's for sure!<br /><br />LisaSubway Squawkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156896665605326549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-486553455553105902010-04-16T11:42:50.528-04:002010-04-16T11:42:50.528-04:00I use to listen to Carton and Boomer mainly b/c I ...I use to listen to Carton and Boomer mainly b/c I was teammates with Boomer in 97 w/Bengals and I am a huge Yankee fan and they are Mets fans along with most of WFAN. Last year he did do "Met fans for Yankees" which was humorous but I started not to like listening to them b/c Carton puts people down a lot. He treats others like he's better than them and I don't like that. It is also why I don't listen to Francessa, even though he is a Yankee fan, because he does the same thing. As for him moaning about Yankee fans, I could care less what he says. Everybody has a right to say what they want and you could listen or not which I chose the latter. The blogger has all the right to criticize Yankee fans. Just let Vazquez get his ducks in a row and he will be fine. I have to be honest though, I didn't want him back but it is what it is and you go with what the Yankees have and you support them no matter what. If you are a fan then that's how you should roll.MONDOAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703061488064548013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-47641539771243644172010-04-16T11:32:30.234-04:002010-04-16T11:32:30.234-04:00Shows what you know, Lisa.

Vidkun Quisling was in Norway.<br /><br />Okay, humor aside, yes, booing Vazquez -- at this point -- remains stupid. And, as Kelly said, Carton proves only one man's point, and not his own. Remember when the Braves used to make fools of the Mets? (At the time, the Mets didn't regularly do that to themselves.) And Chipper Jones said all the Met fans could go switch to their Yankee jackets now.<br /><br />Yes, a fan has the right to boo whoever he (or she) wants, for whatever reason. But with rights come responsibilities and, often, consequences. In this case, the responsibility is to recognize that Vazquez is not, as yet, a major problem; and the consequence is being called a moron.<br /><br />I mean, we're talking about Javier Vazquez here. Not Kyle Farnsworth or Carl Pavano. He hasn't earned the booing yet. If he does, I'll get in line to boo him. But, as with every fan, I reserve the right to decide for myself when he's earned it -- and I think most real Yankee Fans will agree with me that, for the moment, he hasn't done nearly enough harm to earn that.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-50328467728657454762010-04-16T11:07:04.392-04:002010-04-16T11:07:04.392-04:00I was at that game and it was embarrassing! I just...I was at that game and it was embarrassing! I just sat there thinking "This is why people hate Yankee fans." <br /><br />I didn't hear Carton's original rant, but I have to laugh at the "us Yankee fans" part. He's a Mets fan who made a big show of "converting" during the playoffs last year.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077730729523280964noreply@blogger.com
