The again part was not intended.

Its how she plays it out in her mind to avoid having to think about it. Kinda like I have some blank spots in my memory from 2004 and 2007. I know something happened, but I don't exactly know what.

This could very well be the case. Maybe, to make me feel better, I dream that Philly pounded NY to win the WS in 2008 and that last year, Philly won again.

See the problem with this is that regardless of our differences, the one thing that both Boston and NY can agree on is that Philadelphia is a shit hole and its fans are shit heads. The fact that you'd root for Philly to beat anyone is mind boggling and disappointing.

qmft.

I know. I hate the Flyers. Loathe. The Eagles don't bother me because they aren't in my conference and the Jets never play them. Plus the BF is an Eagles fan. I don't really care one way or another about the Phillies, honestly. Sure, if the Red Sox ever get to the WS again and they are our opponent, I hope we crush them. But this is how much I hate the MFY.

But if the MFY played Brett Favre in the WS, I would root for NY. Puke.

You scag.

Look, this is just how it is. If it was Red Sox and Phils, you would root for the Sox? Please.

No, I'm not saying I would. I'd have another blacked out mark in my memory. I can't root for either one.

Phillies fans >>>>>>>>>>>>> Yankees fans


There is no known mathematical notation to express how much more I hate Yankees fans as compared to Phillies fans.

Oh god even i can't get on board with this one. Are you serious? At least Yankee fans were always Yankee fans. Philly fans are the biggest bandwagon jumpers ever. Did you ever here anyone talking about the Phillies 4 years ago? No you didn't. The games had attendance issues, the team sucked, and it was 100% football city.

Plus, ya know, Yankee fans don't puke on little girls.

they don't get caught!

High five!

Philadelphia fans are way worse then any other fans of any other city everywhere, you guys are nuts.

STOP MAKING ME DEFEND YANKEE FANS!

Oh my stars and garters, are we really imagining that Yankees fans are really some sort of group of true believers? That never bandwagon?

Whatever dude, go put on your Jeter jersey.

You never heard of True Yankees? Same goes for the fans........

Oh there's PLENTY of bandwagon Yankee fans, the difference is ALL PHILLY FANS are bandwagon fans. You never even saw someone wearing a Philly hat 4 years ago.

This is how I like to remember Phillies fans:



A nice half-empty dog dish.

Please keep fighting over which postseason team you hate the most.

I'm glad someone already bringing up the puking on a little girl incident.
Phillies fans are obnoxious assholes. They didn't even win anything or made the playoffs and they were assholes.

I can't anyone outside of the Phillies fan group would defend them and say they're better than Yankee fans. I don't even like Yankee fans, but they're not nearly as obnoxious and annoying. A lot of them weren't arrogant pricks until after they won a couple world series.

Please die in an improbable piano dropping incident.

Oh please! Try being a Red Sox fan prior to 2004. WORST. FANS. ON. THE. PLANET.

So Yankees fans have only been obnoxious whores since 1928?

I'm talking about the late 90s.
People seem to forget how bad the Yankees were in the late 80s. And how the Mets were the team in NY in the mid 80s. I remember mocking Yankee fan friends in the late 80s like they mock me now. What goes around comes around. At least with my friends it's all in good fun.

Heh...you tool. The Yanks won their first World Series in 1923; not 1927.

They didn't win back to back until 28, cock. See, SATS? These are the kind of assholes you're getting behind.

Yes, I'm sure that Yankees fans existed in the late 80s when the Yankees were shitty, but no Phillies fans existed while the Phillies were shitty. That is completely plausible.

I love this thread.

You guys, stop it! Baseball season is over (for most of you). Enough arguing!

"Dis city has da best fans in da world! We stick with our teams, and it has nothing to do with our city being five times the size of any other city, never mind the surrounding boroughs!"

I do say, Quincy...those Yank fellows of the Bronx sure are a corking group of rabble-rousers. I'd dare say I fancy them far more than those crimson-hosed scalliwags from Beantown!

I have not had the pleasure of dealing with Phillies fans. But I think it's safe to say that the majority of Phillies(bandwagon), Yankees(self-righteous, thinking every AS should be a Yankee) and Red Sox(insecurity issues) fans all suck.

Mets fans are pretty bad too. They're similar to Sox fans pre-2004...Only more obnoxious.

By the way, Phillies fans had "Mets suck!" type banners at their parade two years ago. That's so much like the Red Sox and their Yankee hatred. No wonder Jen likes them.

YOUR TEAMS RETARD FANS ARE WAY WORSE THAN MY TEAMS RETARD FANS.

I actually saw a game in that shithole. It was Phillies vs Expos, my parents had box seats comped from work. I felt like my soul was dying as a fucking 8 year old. Stop defending the city of Philadelphia, its like defending killing babies.

Oh you did not. You probably weren't even born before the Vet was torn down.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Stadium

Closed 2003. Saw a game there either '98 or '99

Don't believe me now?

I bet as an 8-year old in box seats you were definitely critiquing the stadium quality!

I'd root for a stadium collapse.

Hey guys, what's going on?

Hey he killed those 23 babies in self defense!

Sorry but I can relate to Jen.If the Red Sox were in the WS with Phillies I'd be rooting hard for the Phillies. I'm not hating the Phils like many of you. I don't have that history. I actually rooted for the Phillies in '08. I know their fans are dicks but I don't have any exposure to them .I just see them on the TV.

And that doesn't make you hate them? What is wrong with you?!?!?!

Any team that does well has fans that jump on the bandwagon but then they also have their fans that have followed them from generation to generation. I think this is particularly true in my case and with a lot of Yankee fans . I think that's also true for Red Sox fans . They have an extremely loyal following and I think that love of the Sox is passed down from father to son/daughter .
I've followed the Yankees for as long as I can remember. I have memories of sitting in the living room on a Sunday afternoon w/my dad and uncles watching the Yankees of the early 1960's before my dad died in '62.

How about the mid 60's thru late 70's .Especially right after the last Yankee championship period from '65 on. We're talking such yankee HOFers as Mike Fernandez, Mike Hegan, Ruben Amaro, Horace Clarke(loved Horace) ,Dooley Womack , Jake Gibbs,Fritz Petersen, and Charlie Smith. They were competitive in the early 70's when Houk was managing and Sparky Lyle was closing games for them.They would hang around until August and then the Orioles would play their usual .700 ball the rest of the way and leave the Yanks in the dust. They were so bad prior to that time that a record just over .500 was exciting.

My father always says what was unbelievable about the Mets in 1969 was how they beat that Orioles team, which was just loaded.
