Man you really ARE thinking like a canadian if you think ANYTHING associated with the city of Philadelphia can/would ever be gracious, hands down worst sports town/fans in the country with only Boston fans breathing down their necks at a semi-close second, the difference being in Philly they never* win shit…

*83 Sixers I think being the exception

Yeah, like Yankee fans are the model of politeness.

What cities actually have well behaved sports fans?

hands down worst sports town/fans in the country

Um, having seen many Mets/phillies games at the vet growing up, i will have to politely disagree and point you toward that fan set.

The most tortured fans in sports. They must live is up as it doesn't happen often.

see, i've been to numerous phillie games, and the fans are terrible. if we exclude rivalry games (cubs/cardinals, giants/dodgers, mets/phillies, etc), most fans' vitirol dies down a bit. not phillie fans. i cannot tell you how many beers i had dumped on me because i was wearing a padres hat. . .beer got dumped on my wife because she had a cubs hat on. remember, these are the same fans that threw batteries at j.d. drew, cheered when michael irvin got hurt and booed santa claus. . .

Well I don't think you get the total dickheadness that is Philly and Boston, in say Arizona or Seattle amongst cities that have at least three of the the major sports.

I think because these are "major" markets, and large fan bases, they feel entitled to winning teams, actually the psychology of why they're so pissy is far too complicated for this short missive. Y

Granted Yankee fans are douches as well, but I'm talking more about across the board fans for cities that have most major sports teams.

My problem with the Yankee fans is mostly jealousy, I wish the A's were as "successful" and not the major choke artists they've become, but really the rest of the NY teams blow, and the Yanks haven't won lately so I can take solice in that.

And even though it was at the A's expense, to see the Sox comeback and beat the Yankees, or the Diamondbacks win in 7 a couple of years earlier was fantastic as a fan of the sport.

Philly fans at the games (football, basketball, hockey, and baseball) I've seen in person are rude to their fellow fans, their team, and their facility almost as much as they are to opposing fans and teams, so I think they are just generally assholes and it's way beyond what the average fan in most cities act like (granted I haven't seen games in every city, but I have in every AL & AFC city so it's based on more than just a handful of impressions). Boston isn't as bad, but I think I'm also just bitter about losses to those cheatin ass sox and pats.

Agreed.

Wasn't exactly expecting a local to agree, I mean during P.E. in elementary when everyone else in the country was playing dodge ball you guys were probably practicing throwing lethal shit (batteries, spears, ginsu knives, etc) at anything that wasn't local.

Really? Even if that means it comes with Tim McCarver?

I enjoyed last nights announcers. Don Orsillo is much better when he's not being a homer for the Sox.

if it makes you feel better, i wrote to tug mcgraw when i was in 3rd grade to invite him to dinner.
he didn't even have the decency to write back. to a fellow left-hander even.

jerk wad.

first off, man….Boston fans are nowhere like Phillies fans.

Red Sox fans are only bad when playing the Yankees. otherwise, we're too busy watching the out-of-town scoreboard to pay much attention to who else we're playing.

Bruins and C-Note fans…..if there are any left, cant be said as that bad.

Pats fans, while they are the only New England sports team i dont pull for, well….they're the best team in pro-sports history…i guess they earned the right to be jerk-offs.

(plus, most Pats fans are from New Hampshire)

yeah, i L-O-A-T-H-E Tim McCarver.

i was suprised to see Don O. on the game last night. you think they'll let him do the Sox/Halos games? suppose not.


i'll have to dip in and out of the Kings of Leon show tomorrow night to catch the game.

Or you can do what I did - just dip out, and there wasn't even a baseball game on…

actually, tbs changed their set-up

cubs-d'backs get dick stockton and ron darling
yankees-indians get chip caray, tony gwynn and bob brenly (this will also be the nlcs set-up)
angels-red sox get ted robinson and steve stone
rockies-phillies get don orsillo and joe simpson

fox gets world series and ALCS

indeed. . .went to a pens/bruins game a few years ago in a pens jersey. . .not a foul word thrown in my direction. course, it was probably more because bruin fans were more disgusted with their team and couldn't be bothered with opposing team's fans. plus, it was one of the last games the pens played before they blew the team up- and everyone knew it was coming.

I don't think Don Orsillo was ever going to get the Sox series, but I was just saying that I thought he was good last night (I normally find him a bit of a homer). Nonetheless, it doesn't matter who gets the Sox/Angels series, ANYBODY is better than McCarver. I guess that's the price you pay for your team winning the ALDS.

exactly, nail on the head.

bruins and celtics fans can't talk trash cause, um, they suck.

and probably the annoying Red sox fans…are the new ones that have sprouted up lately…
