Yeah I couldn't see the Rays winning anyway...who would be there to congratulate them? The 6 of their fans in the stands?

I know they won't! They'll wear this for YEARS to come!

Did you get hurt?

Its called a friendly rivalry. In Chicago youll get verbally abused by a select few drunk idiots. In Philly you can almost expect fists to fly it seems. And besides, if it wasnt for Bonds, there would be no reason to hate the Giants. Had you worn that jersey to Wrigley 10 years ago, people would pay no attention to you whatsoever.

Come on and stop exaggerating about Phillies fans. Fans are just as bad anywhere else. What about the fans who ran out on the field during a White Sox games and beat up a first base coach? What about a shooting that occurred outside of a baseball game in the parking lot last year? What about the Braves fans who beat up a guy and put him in the hospital this year? What about the Dodger fans this year showing gang signs and being outright scary during the playoffs? People enjoy jumping on the Phillies about the fans because of the media's constant droning on them and it's the 'cool' thing to do. We are no worse than many of the other fanbases out there. Yes we have our share of complete idiots but so does everybody else.

Bullshat. I have never once, in 25 years of going to Phillies games, seen "fists fly." Even when the Mets come to town, I have seen nothing besides a little heckling for the opposing fans.

I guess it's difficult for you to be happy for other people.
