First of all, So Taguchi totally deserves any standing ovations he gets from the St. Louis fans. Despite his inconsistency, he’s been a clutch player in many instances. Secondly, it’s not a bad thing when players want to play in your city because its fans have a reputation for always supporting the team – and in the Cardinals case, for being consistently good. That’s much more than can be said for the Phillies.

GBfan, you booed aaron rogers just last year. So, you’ve proved that you are neither a fan of Green Bay or even a fan at all. Now, thats REAL.

mocat, you can hang your hat on some WS rings decades ago, but we’re the champs now. If i were an old fat has-been that was really really cool in high school 25 years ago, i wouldnt be so proud. In fact, if i tried to snub someone by saying ’scoreboard,’ id feel ashamed for trying to be clever.. and sounding like an 11 year old.

Did I watch a different clip? He says basically that y’all are passionate. That its like family (you know, you can boo your sister’s play, but you’ll punch that other guy that does it).

I didn’t see anything bad here.

St Louis Fan: Not to mention that So Taguchi was an integral reason as to why we won the world series in 2006. He pulled out some monster hits in that post season.

If Jimmy Rollins wants to play baseball in St Louis, I’ll let him… but St Louis is in the “Show Me State,” and we don’t just praise everyone. You have to prove you’re worthy of it. Even when people mistake us for booing, we are actually chanting “louuu” as in Lou Brock… because he was an accomplished and classy ball player while wearing the birds on the bat.

Why sit and boo, management will get rid of them…

I was there at both games and I stood up for So at every game. He was a good player and he would never dis his fans. That’s why we stood up for him. And we do boo players when they don’t give their all. Boo to u and more power to Rollins.

Leave Jimmy alone, he’s only speaking the truth. If you’re a REAL DIE HARD PHILLIES FAN then you wouldn’t be booing but CHEERING & SUPPORTING “YOUR” players. Whoever is OFFENDED by this obviously is a FRONTRUNNER because if you’re not then why would you be OFFENDED? Jimmy and I have the same personal trainer and Jimmy didn’t say ALL PHILLIES FAN are FRONTRUNNERS because I live in Queens, NY (15mins AWAY FROM SHEA) and I go down to Philly to SUPPORT EVERY SINGLE PLAYER from an MVP-LIKE season or the player who just got called up who STRUCKOUT in an IMPORTANT SITUATION & I’m a PHILLIES FAN. If you don’t like a player then DON”T CHEER 4 them, don’t bad mouth them. You keep booing & yelling out obscene things then they have a right to say what Jimmy said. I was just at SHEA with ALL MY PHILLIES APPAREL and I never said anything about the METS even when they yelled out crazy & obscene things about the Phillies. We were winning so I just said “LET’S GO” and the players name and LOOK THEY WON ON THE ROAD AGAINST THE RIVALS. You guys who boo are doing it at home, they get enough and alot of flack from the METS and the other opponents fans that we don’t need it from our OWN HOME CROWD. LET”S GO PHILLIES 2008!!!
