See, @mattybfat has it right. The only reason a Mets fan should root for the Yankees is to see them disgraced in a worse way. The only reason I would root for the Mets is if they were playing the Red Sox. Failing that, I would not shed a tear if they went 0-162.
This is how local rivalries work. You root for the cross-town team only when they play something purely evil, like the Bubonic Plague or the Nazis.
