It’s time to take a Tech Diet and talk about something a little more entertaining. I was browsing around a couple of forums such as ProSportsDaily.com and the Yahoo MLB blog and I was amazed at the hatred and ignorance coming from the Philly fans. The Yankee fans had their fair share of stupidities, but not even close to how these Philly fans acted. Keep in mind that these quotes haven’t been edited and there are grammar and spelling errors.
All comments by me are in bold.
Enjoy!
Below are a collection of quotes from Philly Fans
“The worst part of all this is if we get to the bottom of the 9th still tied this game was OURS against some guy named Coke. I was calling for Feliz to come up big in a spot like that for months, such a shame to blow it the way we did. Please don’t let the Bankees win it on our field Lee. Get its back to NY so we can try to win with Pedro once again and force a game 7.
God I HATE HATE HATEEEEEEEEEEE the Yankees, this one is going to sting for a while.”
Hate is such a strong word
“let’s think of it this way…how sweet would it be to take the sized rings right out of the yankees hands…we can do this…it starts today…we have yet to see the phillies step up and play the game their way…lee single-handedly won game 1…let’s win 5,6,7 as a team for the ages…and in doing so…kung fu punch our fists through the heart of yankee nation!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Wishful thinking!
“What really pissed me off were the hits by Jeter and Damon, I mean, talk about cheap hits.”
In the books, it’s a hit, no matter where it fell – Sorry Charlie!
“I am having a real hard time swallowing this. Where I live, I am surrounded by Yankees fans. Come on Phils. Show us what is rarely done. Come back from from 3-1 and make all these Yankee fans cry.”
Big boys don’t cry
“Realistically, this series looks done. Now, that’s not losing complete hope, but the Yanks paid for an All Star Team and that’s exactly what they have. I had a great two years through ’08 til now. We won the World Series last year and got back to it this year, and how many teams can say they’ve done that in recent history?”
The Yankees did it in the late 90’s. Did you not have TV in Philly?
“The point is the Yanks used money and drugs to get to where they are.”
Here we go again – Roids and payroll win the Series. Give up and take a time out, it’s getting old.
“And God I’d like nothing more now than to win this and stick it down yankee fans throats.”
God can’t help you Philly.
“I’m very interested to see what the Phillies have to say after this loss.”
We are screwed down 3-1. What else could they say?
“Still a better season than what the Mets had to watch. We at least had some ups and not just downs. **** the Mets and **** the Yankees. Give the Phils the Yanks payroll and we would have swept.”
Payroll – Geez, are you guys ever going to get over your loss?
“I’m gonna kill him. I am going to ****ing kill Brad Lidge. That mother ****er. WOW! ****!”
You Philly fans are Violent. Pathetic!
“If this goes to a game 7 we will win.”
It may end in 6 – Sorry Charlie!
Big Mouth Back Fires
On the eve of the World Series, Yankee Stadium was buzzing Tuesday over Rollins’ boast on “The Jay Leno Show” that the Phillies will defeat the Bronx Bombers in five games to win their second consecutive championship.
Quotes from other forums
“Yeah, seriously. There are so many where I live since I live pretty close to Philly and they’ve got to be some of the dumbest people I’ve ever met in my life. I’ve said many times that if they were playing the Red Sox in the World Series, you’d see me rooting for them over the Phillies and I’m a diehard fan of the Bombers. My favorite quote from a fan of the Phillies, “Chase Utley is actually the best active player in the major leagues, without a question. Pujols isn’t that good anyway.” WOW”
“I’m convinced that if the Phillies lose, a lot of their fans will excuse it all on some mistake by an ump or biased by the umps or that the Yankees somehow cheat, etc. bottom line being: The Yankees STOLE the series and the evidence is there that the Phillies are the best team in baseball even though they didn’t get the ring.”
I am a DIEHARD sports fan, but not a fan that takes it to this extreme. I hope you enjoyed this article.
Go Yankees!
Good job finding a small collection of thousands and thousands of posts that generalizes a fanbase, you must work for ESPN! Not to mention, your rebuttal on many of the comments are borderline asinine. Do I have to look for Yankee fan quotes now? No, because I am not childish; however, if I did, I would have done a much better job than you.
Dave,
I must of hit a nerve. The intent was to share what I noticed the most. See you after 6!
Yes Frank, we will see you after 6 because we will be prepping for game 7!
rtm,
It should be a great game! So far it’s a strange, but fun series.
So you basically went and got a bunch of trolls posting on the internet. Nice of you to compile them. I don’t know are you a journalist? Or a techie just trying to branch out? Sounds to me like your a wannabe. Is it any wonder we Philadelphians have an us against the world mentality? It shouldn’t be when nitwits like yourself post something like this. Stick to your day job. Ohhh, your a Yankees fan, that explains everything. Talk about douche bags!
Erik,
Thank you for the respectful words as that also validates what Philly fans are all about – NO CLASS!
Yeah douche bag stick to Yanking computers. Yer mom is calling, she’s got her star trek outfit on and is ready for you to rub her in her “special” spot. So if you can drag yourself outta her basement you might score! Take a long walk off a short pier homo
Erik,
You are showing so much class. Now you’re on mom jokes, pathetic!
You’re a failure.
Failure of reporting skills, seeing that you cherry pick what you want to find an end to your means.
And where are the Yankees quotes after games 1 and 5? Here’s a general response:
“Poor effort from our releiver, coke, we could have caught up if it wasnt for his two homers. Also, lets not forget jeter hit into the double play and TEx struck out..”
And maybe if CC could’ve gone on no rest, and A-Rod had hit a 9 run homer, we could’ve won!
Not to mention your responses are that of quite the unoriginal bastard. I’ve seen children come up with better comebacks.
Tool.
Ryan,
Thank you for validating my post with your kind words. Too easy!
I forget the part where you validated how much class you Yankees fans have.
Ryan,
I have class. I haven’t shown you otherwise, unless you want to prove that. I didn’t think so.
This article is pointless. I don’t see where the title “No Class” comes from. There was nothing wrong with most of these comments, and the more vulgar ones were directed at the Phillies themselves, not the Yankees. Just like the story in NY is always about the payroll, the story in Philly seems to always be the terrible fans. If I’m not mistaken I believe approximately 2 million people showed up last year for the Phillies parade. Philadelphia fans are great. If fans aren’t supposed to heckle the other team, then what is the point of home-field games.
rtm,
They also created havoc for the city, did you forget about how out of hand it was?
Gee, I’m sorry that your grandfather has to remind you of the stories of when most of those 26 titles that you guys tout were won.
Sorry that you, once again, have no viable proof as to why Philly has no class. Every city has morons, and they deserved come out when the city’s been waiting since 1983 for a championship.
Ryan,
Are you a sore loser? 26 Tiles by the greatest team in sports. You can’t argue that! At 47, I remember many series titles, but I am sure you do not!
Did your grandfather tell you about the majority of those 26 titles?
It was out of hand in the sense of how many people there was. A mass turnout like that could not have been prepared for. I am not trying to argue with you, but nothing about that parade was without class. By the way, congrats on #27.
rtm,
Thanks and just don’t take me the wrong. I observed more classless posts in the Yahoo blog and PSD from Philly fans and that’s why I wrote that article. This is a tech blog and I write a lot about technology.
Thanks for the comment!
The yankees did use steroids, you can’t just brush that aside. They won 4 titles by cheating. Look at petite and arod. Look how big they are this late in their careers. The payroll argument is idiotic but they are cheating by employing known steroids users. Are yankees fans not bothered by this? The yankee name used to stand for something, but now…Babe Ruth is rolling in his grave.
Almost all players in the 90’s used. Steroids don’t help you hit the ball!
Steroids may not improve hand-eye coordination, but they do increase bat speed. And as anybody who has played baseball knows, increased bat speed absolutely helps you hit the ball.
However, I don’t think the Yankees are more guilty of steroid use than any other MLB team.
Danny,
Now that is the most sensible comment yet. Thank you!
Danny,
It is called muscle twitch. The common steroid for that is Winstrol-V.
Hey dude. I think I have the perfect place for you. First of all I have a sports forum where you dont have to defend yourself and your team 24/7, secondly a place to plug the blog a little.
DailySportsPages.com
Check it out, and if anyone gives you shit tell them DBurchHero sent you and said it was ok to plug the blog.
DBurchHero,
I love a place that’s not over moderated! Thanks for the invite.
Phillies fans will have to accept that the only team in the NL East who can beat the Yankees are the Florida Marlins (the Braves were the Milwaukee Braves when they did it). The new, young, and cheap Marlins have as many championships as the old Phillies, yet baseballs biggest losers still want to talk.
Wow, this is borderline propaganda…
I could just as easily make a list like this for the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Cubs…etc. The point is that there is no reason that people that live in Philadelphia are more arrogant than people that live in New York, or Boston.
Dave was completely right, and as was expected, you gave an equivocating response that offers no rebuttals to his argument.
Here’s a good one from a classy Yankees fan.
“lmfao what a sore loser its ok you can listen to hk’s voice and **** off 2 it u ****. Smd u **** or go digg up hk’s body and suck his *****. Im out”
Ryan,
That’s from one idiot that apparently is clueless. I am on the forums now and saw the posts.
And yet you characterize the same kind of posters in the Phillies forum. Nice job.
