He's just the type of slime philly fans love. He probably sets cats on fire, too.

33 HR's and 113 RBI vs the Mutts. And then there was this in 2007, the game that sent the Mutts into a choking tailspin. Chase Utley against Billy Wagner? Mismatch. GGGAAAGGG!!!

Philly does love their washed up sports heroes, ill give them that. Some of them aren't even real, like Rocky.

Phan52 clearly displays the well known fact that the best moments in the lives of Phillies fans are the failures of superior franchises.

Superior franchise? The Mutts? I laughed. Out loud. At least the league hasn't threatened to take control of the Phillies from their owner any time lately like they did with that scumbag Wilpon.

This is a lot of fun to watch. On one hand, you have the losingest (word I just made up) franchise in ... the history of sports? On the other hand, a team that's been a complete laughingstock for nearly their entire existence. 

I think I have to give the ignominious crown to the Phillies. Founded in 1883 and they only have two World Series. Yowzers.

But I am not the delusional one. I am well aware of the failings of the Phillies. But in the most recent period when they were both good the Phillies bitch smacked the Mutts, particularly Chase Utley. They actually call the right field fence in Citi Field Utley's Corner, and the name given by the Mutts' own announcers. 

I wish I could show you the classic Conan O'Brien video where the Phillie Phanatic bangs Mrs. Met but it got taken down because of copyright infringement.

Yup.  Philly fans love the type of slime that plays hard every play of every game no matter what the score or the team's record...The type of slime who is wiling to step into a pitch or lay down a sac bunt to help the team win and has the most beautiful short and compact swing designed to hit line drives in the gap instead of swinging for the fences all the time (unless Mets pitchers decide to serve up the homers to him of course).  He does all this without complaining, talking trash, flipping bats, arguing with umpires, and general hot dogging that Mets fans love to see from their current and former players like Cespedes and Reyes.  Utley sounds exactly like type of slime that Philly fans love.

That's baseball, right?

The sport for those that need something to watch to get them through until football season...

Football? Is that  the game where every 40 seconds of clock time there's a 6 second play run? The sport with less regular season games on the schedule than a hockey preseason? 

Football? Is that the sport where there's no contact allowed between the sidelines, the sport that frowns upon celebration of a score. The sport with 32 franchises but only 17 professional QB' s on the continent?

I'm getting the sense you don't like football...

I just find it incredibly amusing to watch fans of the second and fourth place teams bashing one another.

Only a matter of time before Papelbon does his magic again and fractures the Nats.

It'll be an interesting year, for sure.  Pap hasn't quite been lights out, but he hasn't blown a lot of saves either. I just hope that everyone on the team besides Daniel Murphy starts hitting closer to their long term averages.  Oh, have I thanked the Met's yet today?

No I like it, it's that sport I watch that a barely gets me through to opening day of baseball

Obviously you're not a Mets fan. We reside between 2nd and 4th annually

This is one of the funniest threads I've read in a while.

In all fairness to Papelbon.  If I had to play with that whiny little baby Bryce Harper then I would want to choke him out in the dugout too
