METONYMY:

-'tä-n-mē\ n: a figure of speech consisting of the use of the name of one thing for that of another of which it is an attribute or with which it is associated
American journalists employ metonymy whenever they say “on Capital Hill” instead of “in the U.S. Congress.”

Wow! She's alive. Just kidding! To me it reminds me of the NY Mets plus it has the word My in there. So... How about a NY Mets fan? hehe!
