If you care about baseball in New York, you heard about how Chase Utley's dirty slide into Ruben Tejada. Mets fans hate him now. Can they hold on to that feeling the way New York Rangers fans do?
Mets Fans Spent Much of Monday Night Calling for Chase Utley to Come Out and Face Them
It started from the moment his name was announced.
Fans Brought Their Own Wanted Posters

And This Girl Clearly Won the Night on Social Media
Seriously, Everyone Wanted to Share a Picture of Her Sign
It Got to the Point Where Fans Repurposed the New York Rangers' Beloved “Potvin Sucks” Cheer
TBS announcers even made note of it.
Even If You're Not Familiar With "Potvin Sucks," You Certainly Know the Tune
Rangers have been chanting "Potvin Sucks" since the late 70s.
Even Though Denis Potvin Retired in the 1980s, You Can Find a Rangers Fan Tweeting the Same Insult His Way Almost Any Day of the Year
POTVIN SUCKS
sorry force of habit

Mets Fans Certainly Feel the Same Way Right Now About Utley
The "Utley sucks!" chants have returned with a vengeance.

And, Like Rangers Fans, They'll Make This Point Even When It's Unrelated to Anything Else
UTLEY SUCKS WOOOOOOOOOOOOO https://t.co/ivFFY8pboi

That's half the fun, apparently.
Today, the "Utley Sucks" Tweets Are Still Going Strong
I'm already starting to lose my voice. Maybe tonight I should chill a little with the "Utley Sucks" chants.

Courtney's decision is the same as thousands of Mets fans': Is it time to move on, or time to make Utley hatred a permanent thing?
