I want the Mets to step on their neck, break their back, kick them when they are down and embarrass and humiliate the Philadelphia Phillies. I want the Mets to send the them reeling for these next two games putting Charlie Manuel in doubt for his job, making the Phillie Fans looking forward to another losing season with the Eagles. I want their GM to consider trading the whole team away and I want his job to be in jeopardy too. Last night, I was even rooting for the Nats to put the Phillies even further behind in the N.L East.
I’m really angry right?
A little cruel right?
You bet I am.
I remember how the Phillies used the Mets as launching pad. I remember when Chase Utley took out Ruben Tejada in meaningless game. I remember when Jimmy Rollins made fun of the Mets during their one parade years ago. I remember how the Phillies bullied every team in the league and how they used the Mets as the team they vowed never to become….
I talk to Phillie fans, you know what they say…”all our players are hurt”…Yea, go tell someone who would really listen, perhaps another Phillie fan because now the worm has officially turned.
I hate their team and yea I hate their players too.
I want to see the Mets trade for Victorino and Hamels and then trade the both of them to Japan for a bunch of Godzilla monster costumes. I want to see a game in Citizens Bank Park when the Mets are visitors and see orange and blue shirts in the stands. I want to see the Phillies have a fight in their dugout and see some water coolers flying around. I want to see the Phillie Phantic get knocked out by Mr. Met in a cage match.
And you know what’s funny….before the Phillies began winning, I really couldn’t care less about them. They really didn’t matter to me. To be honest, as soon as they officially begin dismantling their team, I’ll pay them no mind. If the Mets win, I won’t even think about the Phillies. Here’s a question, do you think David Wright is going cut on Jimmy Rollins on any occasion?
I don’t think so.
I have no sympathy for the team down I-95. And I’m quite sure that’s the way they want it.
Don’t you love baseball?

well, I give this piece 4 thumbs up! 2 for me, and 2 for SRT!
and remember, I live right outside philly. so I have had to experience this all up close and personal.
but man, the fans have turned. They have been booing at CBP for a while this season (that is embarrassing to see, after the run the team gave this fanbase). And from the media on down, they have given up. not just on this season, but many of them are now expecting the team to suck for years as they implode and rebuild. Even though the 2013 club will still have the highest payroll in the NL.

HAHAHA – Well said Gonzo – and Stick!
Agree with you about not paying much attention to them before 2007, loathing them since, getting enjoyment out of this year and maybe forgetting about them while they try and rebuild. Although I think I’ll still enjoy seeing them lose, no matter.
I too have no sympathy for the ‘all our guys are injured’. Yeah, cry me a river. We lost a SP for a year, just about everyone who could play SS, our primary catcher for several weeks, a CF for awhile and our LF for weeks (did I forget anyone?) and we’re how many games over .500?
Stick a fork in the Phillies, they’re done. Let’s sweep this series so we can drive the point home.

I don’t know if the vid is really appropriate for the situation but it was the first thing I thought of when reading the opening sentence.

I agree with a lot of the sentiments here, but let me just say that we should be careful before writing the Phillies’ obituary too soon. They’re still a threat to start putting things together and making some noise in the NL East. Maybe not seriously contending, but at least making things tough for the other teams.
Until Philly spends a whole season in the basement, I’ll still be scared. Just like until the Mets clinch something in September, I’ll thoroughly doubt their ability to.
