A couple of quick comments from the game the other night.
First of all, I know it goes against everything Philadelphia fans believe in, and I know he deserves it, but I think we should all stop booing Pat Burrell.
Listen, I know he sucks.
You know he sucks.
Hell, he knows he sucks.
But booing isn't gonna do anything good.
He's on our team, we need him to play his best, so let's cut him a break.
Here's what we can expect from him: 30 Home Runs, 100 RBI, countless called third strikes, and no clutch hitting.
If we get less than that, go ahead and boo.
But that's what we've come to expect, and that's (apparently) what we're paying him for, so let's just deal with it.
On a related note, people were throwing trash from the upper levels at the game on Wednesday.
I understand it's dollar dog night and college night, but that doesn't make any sense.
Trashing your home stadium?
Littering your field?
Throwing hot dog wrappers and beer bottles at the players you're paying to see?
Plus, the majority of it didn't even reach the field and just landed on other fans.
Other Philadelphia fans.
It doesn't make any sense.
Acting like that, it was embarassing to be a Philly fan.
And we don't deserve a championship.
I'm not trying to preach from my high horse, and you can bet that once we do win a championship I'll be on the 6 o'clock news burning couches and painting things inappropriate colors...but until then, let's just stick to what got us here:
Heckling opponents, second-guessing management, and vastly underrating our superstars.
Philadelphia, baby. Gotta love it.
Oh, and furthermore, Susan, there will most likely be a brief moratorium on the blog until after the weekend, so you're gonna have to live without me.
On a final note, check out this clip, it's pretty hilarious.

Was this you?:
"The loudest ovation from a sellout crowd on College Night at Citizens Bank Park came in the sixth when a fan ran onto the field from beyond third base. He sprinted past several security guards, reached shortstop Rollins and went for a hand shake - he was denied. The stocky fan then eluded a security guard's diving tackle and ran toward the wall in left-center, but couldn't climb it and eventually was caught."
