Phillies Phans Phight!

freshnesschronic · 09-01-2007, 06:24 PM

At about 2 minutes 20 seconds the fight breaks out. I'm not sure when this is, but I'd like to hear what the resident Dwellars think of this.

All who hail from Philly, someone wanna explain?

I didn't watch the whole video, but from what I've gathered online, this happened Wednesday night. Apparently, some Mets fans wore their apparel to a Phillies game--which you should never do. You never wear the opposing team's colors at any sports event in Philly. And some Philadelphia fans are notorious for being pieces of shit...and in this case, they acted accordingly.

Someone that actually lives in Philly probably knows better.

No different than any other other philly sporting event I've ever been to.... allthough usually the ASS-HOLE chant is louder. It's all part of the experience.

Edit: If you ever go to a sporting event in Philly, wear sensible shoes. It is not easy to jump rows of bleachers in kitten-heel flip flops (my mother made this mistake once at a Phillies game - I ended up having to drag her over a row when a fight broke out)

As usual, the untrained security guys just want to brawl too... they make it worse, in every fight I've ever seen there. But ya know, from this slow buildup, which happens every time, you can see how easy it would be to stay out of it, if that was your approach. Nobody suddenly just punches somebody, there is always a slow buildup and you can kinda see where it's going and what's gonna happen.

Brawls aside, think the Phillies have a shot?

elSicomoro · 09-02-2007, 08:15 AM

They're healthy and 3 out with 27 to go...it's certainly possible.

Haven't really followed the sport since 94.

If the Phils win it will be the worst thing to happen to the franchise in a while. It will remind the shitty organization that they don't have to be a good organization, they just have to get lucky every 15 years to keep the fan base compliant.

Does anybody know if they moved the courtroom to the new stadiums?
