This, quite frankly, is a fucking disgrace.

No disrespect to Lou Piniella, but are we supposed to accept the fact that the manager of a team that won 97 games in the regular season — second most in either league –, and then proceeded to get swept by a team coming out of the worst division in baseball, is the best in the National League? Really?

To put it mildly, bullshit.

Charlie Manuel guided a Phillies team to their first 90-win season since 1993 and second consecutive division championship. Then, once in the playoffs — and here’s the big difference between Manuel and Piniella — his team did not get swept by an 84-win team in the first round.

Quite the opposite, in fact: the Phillies lost only one game in each round of the playoffs, which means that to the Baseball Writers Association of America, 0-3 is better than 11-3. Uh-huh. Mmmmmmm-hm.

Hey, BBWAA: You’re a gaggle of fucking morons, and you have ceded any and all credibility in the eyes of anyone who has a clue about what qualifies as Manager of the Year. Turn in your beer guts and hemorrhoids.

From TMZ — your #1 source for shirtless Matthew McConaughey pics! — comes this completely embarrassing video of a couple asshole Dodger fans chucking full cups of beer on the LAPD the other night. Now I know Philly gets a bad rep from a few questionable decisions our fans may or may not have made in the past, but this clip from Chavez Ravine fucking blows away any faux pas ever committed here.

Hmmmm, let’s see, throwing snowballs at a 180 lb. intoxicated Santa Claus in 1968, or pummeling cops with beer in 2008…

I can’t decide.

Whoever you are, may your favorite baseball team flourish in the World Series.)

After the jump, video of another asshole Dodgers fan — but for a completely different reason…
