Excuse me but both the Dodgers
and the Nationals are going to have to
get past my St. Louis Cardinals first.

(stop laughing)

If you've ever met a Philadelphia sports fan, you'd wonder how the hell that name applies.

So, I'll say it this way:

congratulations, assholes.

This wouldn't have anything to do with
an incident involving Santa Claus and
some drunken Eagles fans would it ? :D

I heard Joe Morgan relate a story
about the notoriously obnoxious Phillies fans
where Mike Schmidt hit a 12th inning homer
to win a game for the Phils. Next day,
he strikes out in his first at-bat.

And the fans - practically the ENTIRE stadium
booed him mercilessly.
This was the FIRST INNING !!! WTF ?

It has to do with what every sports fan who follows sports as a whole knows: Philly fans are the most miserable, despicable, and ugly fans in any sport. Terry Francona (former Philly Manager and current Red Sox skipper) summed it up pretty well when he commented on the Phillies getting to the WS:

"There are some people I was really happy for..."

Fuck, I'd buy any Yankee fan a steak dinner before I'd shake the hand of a Phillies fan. :)
 
Most of the people most everywhere are nice people. The few assholes are the ones we remember and write about. Unfortunately, there is this mob effect that kicks in sometimes and like lemmings they jump over the cliff of stupidity.
