Phillies Nation

Amen. A person is smart. People are generally idiots. Drunk idiots too.

Somebody tell Myers that we were booing walk #6… I wanted to see Griffey hit a fly-out, or strikeout, and then at least we know that our guys weren’t throwing around him… if you make $8.5 million a year, and you are trying to throw strikes, but you can’t… we should still cheer for you…

Myers got a standing ovation last night when he left the game.. to knock the fans for booing that situation is not smart from him.

Nobody wants to see Griffey hit a home run to beat the Phillies just for the sake of setting a record… BUT… a lot of people paid good money, hard-earned money, to go see Griffey this week, they saw him come to the plate only twice so far.. and walk both times… using Myers own quote, THAT “kind of irritated ME a little bit”

why i am the only one irritated rollins isnt running out ground balls…

thank you brett for calling out those fake ass fans. there’s been a serious infestation of them since the phillies became a trendy ticket.

and yea. myers did get a nice ovation when he left the game last night after throwing an absolute gem……. (almost as big as the one Jr. got just for walking out to the plate)

absolutely sickening.

Half the people at those games are from new jersey anyway. not saying new jersians are fake fans because many are devoted but a lot of them are totally bogus fans.

believe it or not, although im harsh on the team and some of the players sometimes in commentary; i dont boo when im at the games. i kind of just stand or sit there upset when thigns go bad, but i dont boo and insult the players and stuff. thats retarded high school behavior.

Okay, I agree with that. I don’t agree with the boos at all. I just don’t think anyone should disrespect Griffey, and if Myers or Gordon gave him #600 I’d cheer for him. How could you not? That doesn’t make me not a Phillies fan, it just means I’m a baseball fan.

I think you guys are missing the big picture here. This is Philadelphia. We are starving for any sports milestone because they are few and far between for us. I don’t support booing any Phillies, but the fans wanted to see history and it shouldn’t be taken personally by Myers.

Cry baby Brett needs to keep his mouth shut and just focus on the pitching. Don’t hate on the fans for wanting to see history. Instead, keep pitching well and take us to the World Series.

I have no problem at all with cheering Griffey, I would have done the same if I was at the game. But booing Myers, who pitched amazing last night was just unacceptable.

I think the fans wanted to see Myers “go after” Griffey, I can’t imagine any of them were hoping for a homerun…unless one of them caught it (as the thing is said to be worth about $100,000 even before it’s been hit).

We were voicing our opinion about the situation at hand…no one watch Myers pitch and thought he did anything but a masterful job. But when a big gun got up there, they were hoping for a K and instead got a BB, it was a regular spelling bee out there.

Why is it always assumed that when we boo, we are booing the person and not the situation? When you are rear ended by a car are you pissed that you got rear ended or that there are Toyota’s in the world?

Let the fans voice their fleeting feelings.

You say the fans are “voicing” their opinion (booing) about the 8th inning “situation”. The Reds were leading 1-0 and Myers pitching brilliantly with a one hitter though a bit wild. He was careful not to make a mistake pitch to Griffey. Griffey had a pitch to hit and fouled one off. Myers pressing and with a hitter’s count missed the plate with the hard heater. It’s was Myer’s 6th walk and the one he didn’t want to issue to lead off an inning and down by a run. Some fans booed. Is that the “situation” you’re referring to?
