Hey, how are those Mets doing in 2008? I’m just saying…..handshakes, no handshakes, class or no class…Phillies ARE the 2007/08 NL East Champs.

That one he’s holding up with his hand, to tell the announcer whose asking, is for 1st. Which is where the Metropolitans are and the phillies arent as much due to that HR as anything.

Oh and it’s also 1 more championship than philly has in almost 3 decades in any sport.

It all makes a lot more sense now. No wonder I saw the Whaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance leaving Shea Wednesday night.

It was taking this moron announcer out of the stadium.

And how about that gutless Tom McCarthy. Think he ever gave a snide “Whatever that’s all about” comment about Reyes during his Met announcing days? Nope. Didn’t think so.

Reading these comments proves, like religous disagreements, our point of views are deep routed and no matter what you say, no one is objective in something that is passionate.

Like religious disagrements, I am right.
The Mets suck. God is dead/dad (Hitchensism). The Phillies are cool, Mother Teresa was a con artist.
Simple.

Sa da tay, Pooty. That was actually a well-put, sensible response. I was beginning to think Met fans were incapable of such a thing.

But yeah, bottom line, we HATE everything about the Mets and when some Cro-Magnon looking shortstop from your team runs the bases with #1 in the air celebrating like a retard, he gets called out in Philadelphia. That’s just the way it goes. We enjoy hating the Mets. It’s fun.

I’ll tell you this though (and this is not a knock on you, Pooty): If one of the Phillies does something that irritates Met fans, I’m certainly not going over to a Mets blog to get in a ghey argument with commenters. It makes you Mets fans looks more sensitive and defensive than we already think you are.

Now just don’t wa-da-tah to the shama cow… ’cause thats a cama cama leepa-chaiii, dig?

NY MET fan here. Look, we know Reyes has some growing up to do, hell I’ll even go sa far as to he may be beyond that, but that was a big hit for us. We’re trying to catch the Phiiles, heck, we’re trying to prove we CAN win and compete. Big moment for us, and excitement is a good thing.

Reading these comments proves, like religous disagreements, our point of views are deep routed and no matter what you say, no one is objective in something that is passionate. For example, we’re convinced that Hernandez is a GREAT announcer! We all love this stuff.

I got a better idea. Stop giving Reyes fat pitches to stroke over the fence. 12 of his career 56 homers are against the Phils. That’s insane.

@ BigTom:

Sadly, Grandpappy Moyer is too classy to bean Reyes. Let’s get Brett to do it next time we meet up.

JP, why don’t you just drop all this nonsense about class? The city of Philadelphia and its residents are fine. If you’re trying to imply that New York doesn’t have classless fans you are sorely mistaken. Philadelphia fans are passionate and love their teams. Who cares about “class” anyway? If you’re civil at a sports game, you’re not paying enough attention.

I’d rather have Anderson than that idiot Keith Hernandez announcing games.

I have been tolerating Wheeler’s antics for years. Also, I would have plunked Reyes in the 1st inning today. Yet again, a Moyer fastball might not hurt. Anyway, I am still not that worried about the Mets…they will begin thier slide in about 2 weeks.
