It's going to be even worse this year considering how much more expensive it will be for Mutt fans to see a game at Citi field. Too bad we're not playing those idiots on the day of the flag raising ceremony. That would be sweet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-82146382235027132302009-03-01T17:46:00.000-08:002009-03-01T17:46:00.000-08:00Phillies World F*cking Champions!!!!!!Phillies World F*cking Champions!!!!!!Hockey20https://www.blogger.com/profile/08513109817937208422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-55526228422126848622008-07-30T07:25:00.000-07:002008-07-30T07:25:00.000-07:00This is an 80 mph fastball down the middle.

The Mets took great issue with that, but the prophesy came true. <BR/><BR/>Did I fail to mention Billy Wagner? Not shy of a microphone and easily the most booed major leaguer who comes to Philly. [J.D. Drew is second, he was here earlier this year and no one has forgotten. For good measure, Philly fans even boo Steven Drew]. Must be some South Philly thing-- "watch out, we'll boo your relatives.<BR/><BR/>It is true that the Mets have had some internal issues that distract from the rivalry, and trading LoDuca didn't help it either, but all you have to do is attend a Phils-Mets game to know that the hate is still alive and well. Mets fans seem to come out of the woodwork, all wearing blue or orange jerseys, and periodically a chant of "Let's go Mets" pops up, to be drowned out immediately by boos and "Let's go Phillies." This is not highbrow hate, either, like the Yankees/Red Sox. It is not about clever lines thrown at an opposing teams players or fans. Most conversations begin with "_______ sucks." Philly's Mets-hate will brew down the stretch for sure. [My nephew Jack will be excluded from it]. <BR/><BR/>By the way, Mitch Williams now does the post-game studio show for Comcast after the Phillies games. He is great and tells it like it is. Proving that there is redemption in Philly, if you care to earn it. There's a heart in there somewhere among all the boos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
