Sorry, a bit of hyperbole there. I agree they're a good team. A really good team. I am not ashamed in the slightest about how the Mets played them this series, and I'm glad we're still 4-3 against them this year. They won the frikkin World Series last year. But how can you not hate that endcap display of uberdouche. Seriously.

They are evil incarnate and I hope they all die in a plane crash on their way to getting swept by forfeit in Boston.

I don't know; it's a good question.
Note that I didn't say I liked them — rather, it's that I can't work up the hatred for them I would expect.

I'm a regular visitor to this blog and have never posted before. I have to agree with KenDynamo about the utter bizarreness of your premise: that the Phillies are somehow likeable. How do you not despise this bunch with every fiber of your being?

Ahhh, Phillies fans. What an obnoxious breed they are. I remember leaving one game from 1983 with my family at the Vet, and after taking our usual ass kicking from the Phils, a few kind gents yelled over to my family in the parking lot, “Why don't all of you fuckin New York Jews go back to where you came from!” I wanted to tell them that I'm not Jewish or from New York, but what would have been the point. I've pretty much hated this team from the late 70's on (when they picked up Pete Rose), and continue to despise them even more now.

My wife, my sister, her girlfriend and I went to a game in Philly last year. The fans in the parking lot were reasonable, I even had fun hanging with a bunch of them for about 45 minutes when my family banished me from the vicinity of our car due to my cigar. The creeps inside were a different story. We are respectful opposing fans. I don't like when an outsider is up, screaming and waving his hat in my face at Shea, so I keep it cool at away games. That didn't stop the shouting at us (and the rest of the Met fans – it must suck to be outnumbered in your own park) from the moment we sat down. Fine, whatever. Here's the great part: every time I got up to roam, get a beer, pee, whatever, the heroes near us got more abusive to the women. Ultimately, my sister lost it when the two tough guys behind them kneed them both in the head and dropped sandwich bits on them, and laughed and said “Go back to New York”. My wife implored my sister not to tell me because, well, they didn't want to bail me out of jail. Without knowing exactly what had transpired, I knew something was up and confronted them. Typically of bullies, these two candy-ass bitches backed down from a guy twice their age and left. THEN they told me what had happened, after enough time had passed to preclude my finding them.
Suffice to say that Philly fans are despicable, mouthbreathing assholes. Their team and third-rate “city” can go Phuck themselves. And we'll be back.

I've been saying this since the beginning of '07. It might be time for another post about it. I want the Mets to step it up even. I want Reyes to bow at the pitcher after a home run, Japanese style. Leap on the Phillies dugout and high five fans.

I'm sticking to my pick of Braves second over the Phillies, but time will tell. Right now I despise the Phillies, probably the way Goliath looked at David afterwards. Only David's the bad guy.
It's more the missed opportunity that makes me hate them. How everything would be so different based on any little aspect of 2007. Take Marlon's Anderson's slide against the Phillies, that was very similiar to Rollins. If he doesn't get called out, and the Mets win that game: The Mets probably win the division. David Wright probably gets the MVP. _Charlie_ Manuel probably gets fired. The Phillies are pegged as constant underachievers who lost 10000 games. Do they come back from that and win in 2008? Probably not. The Mets would again make the playoffs, Willie Randolph would be the best Mets manager ever and we'd be trying to figure out if there was room for 12, 5, 7, 57, and 15 on the LF wall at Citi Field.
I hate them because they have what's ours. And I want it back.

Let it out. You're among friends (unlike where you live, I take it).
