The article is titled "City of Brotherly Love? My Butt!" so I think you know where he's going from here.All the bad stuff you’ve heard about Philadelphia, site of the next three World Series games, is absolutely true.The people in that town would give The Finger to their own mom. That’s how bad that town is.It’s just incredible how ruthless and rude Philadelphia people are. They love their Phillies, but even Jimmy Rollins had a run-in with the fans earlier in the year and they started booing him. It’s crazy....When I was in Philadelphia earlier this postseason with Cal Ripken Jr., Dennis Eckersley and Ernie Johnson for TBS, we got booed. We were just doing our show out in center field and people were walking by saying “You fat piece of [bleep]. . . . Tell Cal he’s gay. . . . Ernie Johnson sucks.”I’m like, “Who the hell are these people?” We’ve got no part of baseball.We’re doing the game and TBS stuff and these Phillies fans are just f-bombing us to death.They are angr...

Are You Confident In Cole Hamels As A Game 7 Starter?
Cole Hamels was asked about his struggles this season and if he was looking forward to next season starting. His response was a bit of a head-shaker. "I can't wait for it to end. It's been mentally draining. But, you know what, it's one of those things, a year in, you just can't wait for a fresh start," Hamels said. Granted, he later added that "Game...
Game 3 pregame: Hamels must get back to basics
I don't profess to know the secret to being a successful major league pitcher, but there are a few common sense approaches Cole Hamels needs to follow tonight. We've all recognized Hamels' need for a third pitch, which isn't going to happen until the offseason. The Inquirer's Jim Salisbury wrote today that Hamels will work on adding a cutter or slider, in addition...
Nightmare on Citizens Bank Way, Phils Lose An Ugly Game Three at CBP
That one was rather frustrating. Cole Hamels looked dominant early but unraveled quickly after being squeezed on a would-be strike three to Mark Teixiera in the top of the fourth. A-Rod got the Yankees on the board with a questionable home run that hit off a camera hanging over the right field wall that some brilliant exec at FOX thought would be a great spot for it. Hamels came...

Yankees' Pettitte defined by intense focus
During the past few days, Pedro Martinez has spent a lot of time telling us -- usually rather amusingly -- about all of the things that Pedro Martinez is. He is the most influential player that has ever stepped in Yankee Stadium. He is the would-be King of New York. He is a Christian. He is a father.
Fox moves its camera from fence
PHILADELPHIA | In this, the postseason of disputed calls and replay reviews, television is now trying to help make life easier on umpires at the World Series. One night after one of its cameras behind the right-field fence was struck by Alex Rodriguez's deep drive, Fox decided to move it back from the fence to prevent a similar play from happening in the two remaining series...
