Incidentally, is it acceptable that I hate the Philly fans but not the team? I really think the team, from top to bottom, is classy and was glad that the series showcased the two best teams. But the fans, from what I could discern from chants and catcalls, were ridiculous. Nothing like chanting "Yankees suck" even when they're beating the home team.
Note, of course, that this mantra doesn't apply to you.
Usually, it's "F*** New York." But the chants centered on A-Rod and Pettitte for steroids. My friend, who was at a couple of games in Philly was wondering why "Group Sex Sucks!" until he realized Spike Lee was there and they were chanting "Girl 6 Sucks."
I was at a game this year where the first ball was thrown out by a war hero in Afghanistan and Iraq. He got a standing ovation, but when he bounced the ceremonial toss hewas booed lustily.
