Phillies Phever

Oh,
whenever anyone refers to anything Philadelphia Phillies related, if the word has an F in there, they switch it with a PH.
Phightin' Phils
Philly Phanatic
Phreak of Nature
and Phillies Phever.

Its not some Katherine McPheever, but similar.
I am all in baby!

This week, i was not too hopeful about the Phils chances of taking the Mets down. I went to a game and was worried I would be disappointed.

The problem with the Mets fans is that our stadium is so close to NYC that these stinkin' NY Mets fans come into Citizens Bank Park with their Reyes and Wright jerseys in their stinkin' flip flops and walk around our stadium like they own the joint. The other problem is that they can buy our tickets on the internet and just annoy us. It burns me up because it should be a home field advantage.

They were doing the "Jose, jose, jose, jose! " cheer and when beltran was up to bat an "MVP, MVP" cheer. What the heck man? So Adam Eaton drilled him in the ribs for good measure, and made him slide back to first a couple times for being a whiner. MVP that.

Jose also got picked off 2 times in the same game. Speed kills.
(he is a great shortstop, don't get me wrong, its my duty to hate on anyone non philly)

Then Ex phillie Marlon Anderson gets an obstruction call on the double play? hahaha

But the cherry on top, the creme de la creme, the perfect ending to a perfect series:
Billy Stinkin Wagner. Good Ol Boy, tobacco chewing, RAT.

Billy has 4 blown saves, 2 to the phillies.
He has six stolen bases against him, 3 by the phillies.
Pat Burrell has 41 homers against the mets. 2 off billy this season.
Billy billy billy.

I have been in much angst since 1983. With no parade in philadelphia for a major sports championship since then, but you know what, if it continues thats fine.

I have to take my small victories when I can.

METS swept again.

See you in september....
