Thoughts on Philly (and the awful thugs who live there)...

A while back I sat in the bleachers during a Yankees playoff game.  If memory serves me correctly, it was against the Angels and Randy Johnson got the daylights beat out of him.  I never thought anyone was capable of saying meaner things about another human being as I did that day.

And then, I sat in the 400-level in Philadelphia.

Beautiful ballpark.  Great sight lines.  Chase Utley is playing all-world right now.

But...

It is in inconceivable to me that whenever a Phillie hits a pop-up to the shortstop, everyone thinks it's a home run.

It's scary to think that grown men (and women) think that cursing at Mets' fans is the best cheering that Philadelphia fans can do.  

It's depressing to think that the only time a "Let's Go Phillies" chant started when the Mets were rallying was in response to a "Let's Go Mets" chant.  

More thoughts later on this...
