Ever meet someone who only seems to come to life when they are complaining?

I mean...everyone has the right to boo or whatever. Boo all you want. But if you're booing the front office of your championship franchise 20 minutes after you won a world series, you have got to be a douchebag of the highest order.

Harry Kalas being happy is very heartwarming, though.

Really a shame that the Phillies have some really classy players but a large portion of their fans are a**holes.

thehallmark · October 29, 2008 12:31PM

Excellent team. Fun playoffs to watch this year.

Shouldn't there be a flood of Brad Lidge card sales this week?

And that comment is a fine example of douchebaggery in its own right! You've definitely got the hang of it. Thanks for participating, wormy.

I know you're poking fun (no pun intended) but using John Vuckovich's name is probably a bit distasteful to say the least. John was a long time member of the Phillies organization (actually earned a ring with them as a player in '80) and had a gutsy, lengthy battle with brain cancer which eventually claimed his life in the spring of '07...I can guarantee that there are a lot of people in Philadelphia tonight thinking of John Vuckovich and wishing he was part of this...

I knew John and I agree with you. The man as a class act and it bothers me to see his name used like that.

Yea, and I remember all the "cheers" that Steinbrenner used to get when the Yankees won their World Series. I don't think I can ever recall a sports championship celebration when the "front office' didn't receive at least some cat calls from the crowd if not outright booing...so the bottom line is you have a selective memory if you believe this is only a Philadelphia phenomenon.

chaz43 · October 30, 2008 2:11AM

Born in Philly and lived there a couple of years. Graduated from Drexel U which is in Philly but it does not change the way I feel. The Phillies are a brutal team most of the time and they have found more ways to lose.... it is so ridiculous. The Beagles (Eagles) , Cryers (Flyers), and Sixers (absolutely hated Iverson) are all brutal teams. It is really pathetic that this is the country's 4th largest market and this is the first championship in a major sport in 25 years.... really PATHETIC. It really goes back to the ownership of these teams. The Phillies owners are cheap and have cost this city many potential
championships over the years and we can't forget the Beagles and owner Jeffrey Lurie and VP Joe Banner (both from Boston) who really only care about the bottom line. Norman Braman who owned the Beagles before Lurie said " I won't lose any sleep if we don't win a Super bowl". If the owners don't care then why should I care? So that stopped me from being an Eagles fan until we get decent ownership. It is a no brainer why the Philly fans can be real nasty and yes they are as bad as everyone thinks. chaz

Exactly. Montgomery was not the one being booed, it was Selig who was villified for close to two days for his bonehead call and comments regarding the rain delay. Some people on this board need to get up to speed with the happenings in sports and not jump to unfounded conclusions.

You are 100% right. When they handed the mic to Pat Gillick, he didn't get booed. He just didn't get cheered much. 100% my mistake. Seriously.

I guess I'll have to try really hard to search for other reasons to call (some) Philly fans douchebags.

Perhaps your vision was blurry and you thought I wrote, "Philly fans are the only fans who have ever booed their front office"?
As a matter of fact, that wasn't the point I expressed or the point that was implied. You made it up and then argued against it. Not quite master level douchebaggery, but a solid attempt. Nice try.

WinPitcher · October 30, 2008 11:37AM

With that said congrats to all the Philly fans!

I had no idea what this thread was about.

Got any 1989 Chevys with "only" 10,000 miles on it, and that body rust is actually special sidestriping from that year, right?

It's easy - a piece of cardboard, an inkjet printer, and some Saran wrap.

Sometimes a little douche can help. Just splash a little on for a nice semi-gloss.
