There’s a ton of awesome stuff that happened tonight postgame, but I think this might be my favorite. Utley got Kanye Wested!

But Chase is no Taylor Swift. He’d have handled Kanye so much better.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:24 am
you beat me to it lynnie haha
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:25 am
i’m setting myself up to be crucified, and i do not want to be a downer, but chase isn’t really a guy i’d like to hang with… sort of a douche.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:25 am
new york is the gayest place on earth
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:26 am
Somehow he managed to not say Fuck. What a letdown.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:26 am
ron glad i wont say it first. chase is my fav. baseball player of all time because he reminds me a lot of myself but in recent years (and im not talking about the WFC quote) he has come accross as a total jerk. i’ll just pretend i didnt see this though.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:28 am
what does he say?
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:31 am
Yikes, really not liking this from him.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:31 am
ahhh thanks for posting this so quick! The second I saw it I knew it’d be up here!
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:32 am
Chase didn’t have to react like that. But whatever. World Fucking Champions!
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:35 am
The interviewer is obviously filling in for somebody and doesn’t know shit about waiting for a guy to finish his response.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:39 am
Long time reader, first time poster here.. I kinda thought he was joking around. Leslie even laughed a bit afterwards. But either way the reporter was rude first since he was clearly not finished talking when they asked him another question.
Or maybe I just love Chase so much that I don’t want him to be a jerk, haha.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:41 am
Also, could the guy in the back look any more bored? He does know they won, right?
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:58 am
I cannot believe any of you seriously give a shit about how he reacted to being interrupted by some random douche reporter. Good lord
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:00 am
my guess is that it was some reporter he is not used to, interrupting him talking to Leslie who is of course more important than some joe blow from out of town.
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:05 am
Chase just loves Leslie and CSN…screw whoever the other reporter was…WFC
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:05 am
Seriously, let him answer the FUCKIN’ question. He praised his teammates in spite of some asshat interrupting his response.
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:09 am
i don’t think Chase is a jerk. He’s just a dull interview. Aside from this and the WFC moment last year, he never shows any personality.
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:17 am
Every Philly is a dull interview except for Chan Ho Park, Pedro, and J-Roll
And if you really want to get into it, almost every athlete is a dull interview because they say the same lame “one game at a time shit”
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:18 am
yeah i don’t think this is the biggest deal in the world. but chase might probably didnt have to react in that exact manner. the only thing that rubs me the wrong way about it is I couldn’t ever see myself responding that way, whether the guy interupted or not
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:20 am
He probably handled it better than I would have. I don’t think I’d react overly well to trying to answer a question and being interrupted with what was probably just another version of the same question (which is how so many of those locker room interview clusterfucks go). I also think that is why so many athletes are dull interviews – it’s just the same question re-worded 62 times.
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:24 am
Phylan, you nailed it. That’s the reason I do not read sports from newspapers (aside from Gonzo’s blog). If I want a recap of the game, I look for a video or look at the box score. Nothing against sports reporters, but quotes from players are not fun. And if a player DOES say something off the wall, it is sure to be on this or any other of the 35 sports blogs I read daily.
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:35 am
I don’t see it as a big deal, he’s in the middle of answering a question and somebody interrupts him. Sure, he could’ve said “give me a second” or whatever, but who cares. He’s Chase Utley. Chase FUCKING Utley. He can do no wrong. He basically played on one leg last year, had surgery, and was back by spring training. He’s superhuman. That reporter is actually lucky he didn’t melt him with his eyes or some shit.
“It’s Chase F. Utley, and don’t forget the ‘F’ around me…”
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:40 am
hilarious. chase is the man.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:49 am
Yeah, also, what Matt said
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:13 am
i nearly pissed myself when I saw this and Brett getting denied. Chase looked like he was going to roundhouse that reporter.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:55 am
I don’t see anything wrong with the way he handled that, and it actually showed more personality than he usually gives off. Go Chase!
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:42 am
Maybe you guys are all angles, but I would have done the same exact thing. I like my guys a little on the douchy side, but still sweet enough to save puppies on their off day.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:01 am
I would like to see a spliced video of Kanye West vs Chase Utley
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:19 am
I don’t think some people realize how much of a dry sense of humor Chase has. I know when I saw that I was thinking how funny he is. I don’t think he was being a jerk.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:43 am
Chase rocks
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:59 am
What Jessie said. Awesome.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:02 am
Hah… chase punk’d that dude… he’s in the middle of a phreakn’ response and some douchbag reporter wants to interrupt him… Good for chase.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:18 am
Didn’t that reporter know that athletes never give one sentence answers? They have to talk about just trying to have good AB’s, making adjustments, getting hitters off balance, the great group of 25 guys out there with them, etc…etc… Chase rules!!
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:11 pm
So anyways. Haha nicely done chase
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:29 pm
HA HA HA
he’s such an asshole
but gotta love it
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Chase has a dry sense of humor, I don’t think he was trying to be a dick, but trying to be funny. Besides that reporter is lucky he didn’t headbutt him.
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Gunned ‘em. . .
October 22nd, 2009 at 5:19 pm
We don’t know what’s really going on. Maybe that reporter was being a d*ck long before that. Maybe he had disrespected Chase one too many times and this was the last straw.
October 22nd, 2009 at 6:33 pm
1) That didn’t really seem like even a particularly annoyed response from Chase, let alone a dickish one.
2) I was very disappointed, because when the post said “Chase Utley got Kanye West-ed,” I thought one of his teammates was going to interrupt his interview and say “I’m happy for you, and Ima let you finish, but…” That would have been way funnier.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:56 pm
The guy Chase was talking to was Howard Eskin, so I understand why Chase said that
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:09 am
Well that explains it…Eskin is a douche.
