Mets vs. Phillies.

Santana vs. Hamels.

A great game on paper, let's see how it turns out on the field. Stick around for a blow-by-blow rundown of the game, injected with my own commentary and occasionally witty remarks.

Howard needs to move up to the plate.His stance can be his worst enemy!

We're winning, but it doesn't feel like it. This game can turn at any point in this ballpark.

He stays in the K-zone too much.

Heilman gets lit up by the Phils, seriously his era is sky high against them.

Ruiz's passed ball and the retarded Beltran intentional walk are coming back to haunt the Phils...should be 4-3 Phils.

Ryan Howard is a big lumbering crappy fielding oaf. Homeruns are awesome, but his ever mounting k's and errors are getting tiresome!

1-2-3 inning for that rat bastard Wagner is my prediction.

I don't want Howard traded, but he's been disgusting all around this season and he's hurting this team currently. Luckily that won't last all season....will it?

Lol at the Philly faithfull cheering when Reyes when got hurt, and then booing when he got up.

I'm a huge Philly Phan, but that was a disgusting when they cheered Reyes injury and booed when he got up....that's never cool or funny. I'm all about pushing the lines of decency and being unpolitically correct, but you don't do that.

The top row is usually filled with dollardog eatin' drunk kids. Please don't judge all Philly fans by them.
Good game, fun thread.

we all have dumb fans. New York and Philly hate eachother, unfortunately some take it too far and they forget that this is just a game. I dislike the Phillies and Braves the most, but I just can't imagine ever cheering someone getting hurt. My jaw dropped when it happened but eh, I know there's classless fans in New York too so I can't judge a whole fan base because of a few tards.

Thanx Taylorized, I joke a lot, but I would never wish harm on anyone. Tards are out there and fill'em up with booze and they turn into major jackasses.

Yeah. As much as I dislike the Phillies, I never ever wish an injury on anyone.

I'm not judging all Phillies fans by those idiots, I know not all Phans are uncivil a-holes. Every stadium has been people in it, not just Philly or NY.

I am a dollardog drunk kid, but I can still keep it civil! As long as no Bo's or spit are being thrown, I enjoy yelling for my team anywhere. Reyes makes millions of dollars, he should be able to take some heckling for that dough. I get heckled at my job and get paid far less.

It's not about whether Reyes or anyone can handle heckling, it's about showing a little class when someone gets hurt. I'm pretty sure Jose expects to get heckled in Philly.
