PHUCK YOU

26
PHAGGOT

I think that refers to the number of games the Muts lost in a row as the coughed up the division. F#CK you New York, like the best hitter in the game, chase utley, said.

PUNKS

I’m late to the party, but I read yer BS. I’ll buck 50 you right now. You coward pri#k. New York is the last stop before hell on the worlds train. Come get some h0m0. I’m surgical with the buck fity.

First, I don’t buy that you’re a Yankee fan. Believe it or not, Yanks and Phils fans share a pretty good relationship. I’ve always been amazed. You’re likely a Mets fan too ashamed or afraid to show his true colors. In the event that you’re a genuine outlier, however…

I’m going to put it all out there. I’m an attorney in biglaw downtown, so no need to question my education or whether I live in a “trailor” (Trailor was a member of Michigan’s basketball team; you are thinking of a “trailer”–mistakes only discredit your arguments). Even if I did, it cannot be any worse than an 800 sq. ft. studio that costs $1999/month. I’ve seen New York real estate at its best and worst; the worst clearly outnumbers the best. You act as if New York does not have its mid-to-low income areas and folks who did not graduate PS-(whatever number you want to insert). Not every person walking the streets graduated from Stuyvesant. Get real.

I spend a lot of time between Philadelphia and New York because of my job. The only differences between the two cities are size and population. New York is clearly is overcrowded with folks who have this self-righteous belief in the superiority of their city. The funny part of it, however, is that it does not extend outside of the City/Long Island. In a way, New Yorkers are the same as “members” of “Red Sox Nation.” The rest of the country gives a collective, “Sure you are.” I see it in interactions between firms. And yet, at the end of the day, the success/failure rate of trials, disputes, etc. sits at a rough 50%. I am sure the same holds true for most other firms and employment. It’s alright to admit that your city, aside from size, is on the same plane as Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Phoenix, etc.

Check that. The high opinion of New York does extend out–to the Poconos. Do me a favor and keep your annoyingly loud, terrible drivers and their misbehaving children away from my property. Though Lackawanna and Monroe Counties are bending over to take it from New York (Scranton Yankees… what a maroon), the residents and long-term owners are not. In addition, stop buying houses in the Poconos, just so your children can take advantage of the superior school districts. For feeling fairly confident in the capabilities of New York, apparently your fellow city dwellers do not necessarily agree.

I particularly love, “When you think baseball you think A-ROD, JETER, RIVERA, MANTLE, RUTH and the list goes on.” This suggests to me that you’re roughly eighteen-years old. You hit on today’s players, plus two that anyone’s grandmother could name. Forget about the seventies-early nineties? Don’t wave the “I’m a superfan of the greatest team ever!” flag. You’re as bad as a girl in a Chase Utley jersey who cannot name two members of the Phillies’ bench or bullpen. You’re a fan, but a superficial one at best. (Note: I don’t condemn said girls; I just recognize that some fans are bandwagoneers and/or casual. No problem with it, but don’t act like you knew Schmidt personally or were heartbroken when the Phils lost in ’93–despite being three years old.)

Classless fans? I love how folks always think Philly is the only city with fans that go beyond bounds of decency. I’ve been to Madison Square Garden and had insults and the like lobbed at my wife, who wore a no-name Flyers jersey. I’ve been to Shea after work with others, in a tie, with a Phillies hat, and had guys who can barely button their 1980s-era Mets replicas yelling at us and throwing wrappers, etc. Of course, we gave it right back. I have not been to Yankee Stadium, regrettably–for its history, but I imagine the interactions during Yanks-Sox games are just as ugly. Get off your high horse. Again, like the city itself, you’re no better than any other city.

As I believe I have made clear, either explicitly or implicitly: (a) most of your points are utter bullsh!t, and (b) New York suffers from a superiority complex, but in a world and country that sees New York on an equal plane. Sure, New York in the past laid claim to the hub of the country and world. Shoot, so did Pittsburgh and Carnegie/Frick at one time. But, times change, and like the Yankees, you’re not as great as you think you are, nor as you used to be.

I actually think I’m a pretty nice guy,

I’m sad to see him go, but 9-in-a-row sure did a wonderful job of reminding Phillies fans why we hate Muts fans today… good thing he left.. he was almost late for his 5:00 start time at Pizza Hut as the delivery boy. Hope he gets nice tips tonight!

Couldn’t have said it better myself. What are they doing playing a game on a field making millions of dollars while we watch them???? Are we not entertained????
