Without question, the best part about coming from behind to beat the Metros is watching their loser fans react to the inevitable, and last night was no exception.
In the fifth inning, when the Fightins’ were in the midst of coming back from their early 7-0 deficit, Ryan Howard jumped on an outside fastball delivered by the no-longer-intimidating Pedro Martinez. The astute CW57 cameraman must have been scoping out the angriest of the Metro fan prior to the blast, and immediately cut to a volatile gentleman who most likely dropped some major cash for a first row seat. Around the :22 second mark, you can clearly see Mr. Temper mouth some expletives before becoming so enraged, he just gets up out of his seat and walks out.
hahahaah:
On a side note, I must mention a text message I received from my former colleague and Mets scribe over at B&C, Brad Bortone. He asked me to write a short guest post for him yesterday, and between my work schedule and outright laziness, it completely slipped my mind. So, at 8:47 PM, I got the following text:
“Hey. It’s brad. Now that the mets are spanking them no need to guest post.”
At 9:42 PM (when the Phillies cut the lead to 7-6):
“Okay. I take it back.
“Too late,” I replied. Didn’t these Mets fans learn anything from last year?

Sarge loves the Cadillac. But isn’t the best part of a Phils win over the Mets, the mets fans’ reactions?

The Phillies B&C page hasn’t been updated since 4/25, around when this site started have they not found a replacement writer?

You should see what the strap-hangers are writing over at Deadspin this morning. Nothing about how their team choked away an easy victory, just more generic vitriol directed at Philadelphia and its fans. Typical. Insecure a wee bit? It’s just a half-game lead… right, guys?
Last night’s is the kind of victory we’ll look back on if/when the Fightin’s successfully defend their division crown.

That sound you hear is the gagging from last year. I was there, it was great, and Mets fans are the worst human beings alive.

Sarge might love the “cadillac” (not the worst catchphrase ever), but Tom McCarthy is an absolute abomination as a Phillies announcer. Anyone else catch him slip in extra innings and refer to CBP as “Shea”? You gotta be kidding me.
He was employed by the Mets last year and he grew up a Mets fan. That’s way too much Mets and Shea Stadium stink to expect a guy to shed in one year. Is it too late to bring back Scott Graham?

Put that one in the win column for johndewar!
I don’t have a huge problem with Tom McCarthy. Sometimes he could be a bore but I’m always excited to see where he’s conducting his daily “Roving Reporter: Tom McCarthy” segments from. Is he sitting in the stands? Is he on the upper level by a railing? Let’s find out!
I’ve been (half-heartedly) trying to find a picture of him from when he was with the Mets for a little while now. He used to be a gigantic fat fuck.
@Bob: I’m irreplaceable, dawg.

“We now go to Tom McCarthy with a report on the number of blades of grass in the infield. TMac…”

I. Love. It.
What makes it worse is that even the jackass Met players feel the same as the media. It’s always “Mets Collapse” instead of “Phils Dominate Mets”. Petey Martinez knocked Citizens Bank after the game & almost blamed it for the homers to Howard & Rollins. Howard’s HR would have been out of any park in MLB.
@Chamomiles Davis: I completely agree man.

Meech, the fat Tom McCarthy picture is on its way.
I have an old Phillies magazine/program with
Walter JohnsonEric Milton on the cover that includes Chubs McCarthy twelve neck sizes ago.
