With the Yankees about to play in their 40th World Series tomorrow night, the city is excited. Especially the NY Post and NY Daily News, which are going to town with numerous stories... and Shane Victorino gets the "Frilly" treatment on the Post's cover.
One Post story is headlined: "Their fans are second rate & so is their city." The article includes lots of smack-talking, like, "Philly fans are a bunch of whiners and should learn how to dress. They should try reading GQ," and "I briefly lived in Philadelphia and I couldn't wait to get out. Their fans are whiners, the food is lousy and there is nothing to do."
The News' Joanna Molloy was in Philadelphia and reports about Phillies' fans' excitement, "Mass delusion may be a better term for the phenomenon," and hears from them, "The Yankees have never played a juggernaut like this Phillies team," and "The Phillies are supposed to be nervous about Sabathia? The faster he throws, the farther they go. The Phillies are totally going to win the Series. How do I know? I have ESPN. I watch the games."
The Post is also unsparing when discussing the Phillies' mascot, the Phanatic, "The Phanatic's lame shtick consists mostly of stomping on objects and attempting to hex opponents. If he succeeds, it's because opposing players wonder if someone slipped LSD in their Gatorade." A Yankees fan was dismissive, "Mr. Met is even better than that -- and Mr. Met is retarded."
The Phillies arrived in town yesterday on a chartered Amtrak train. At Penn Station, the News reports, "They appeared relaxed and in good spirits, especially Pedro Martinez, who grinned and seemed startled that dozens of fans, cordoned off by rope and police tape, were hanging around Penn Station for them to appear."

lol the Frillies. That's great.
Yes, truly classic comedy. You know, cause Frilly things are kinda stupid. And Frilly rhymes with Philly.
And did you see the dress they put on that dude? Hooha!
Sure hope the Philly papers don't get wise and start calling our guys the Skanks. Or the Crankees. (Though you have to admit those are fucking hilarious, too.)
Yep, those Phillies are completely delusional. Next they'll be saying the Flordia Marlins could beat the Yankees.
the sports team from my geographic region is better than the sports team from your geographic region. clearly.
this is like middle school all over again, except with retarded adults.
All sports are like this, and this is nothing new. Root for your team or stop complaining.
i dont "have" a team, but thanks. and i don't recall making a complaint.
And if you couldn't give a shit about either of these teams, join me in biting your tongue for the next week.
What if I severely hate one of these teams for destroying the fabric of sports?
the phillies?
What if it's a team from a geographic region you've never lived in or visited? I grew up liking the Cowboys because of their players. Same goes for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Sports were supposed to be a way to settle disputes without the use of deadly force. It grew into something of value and entertainment. The corporatization of sports have turned them into something completely different.
"The corporatization of sports"
Thank the Cowboys. That's where it began, with "America's Team."
I've been anti-Yankee for nearly 20 years, and only keep quiet about it when self-preservation is key.
Eh, no other city has such juvenile headlines/art in their newspapers, though.
Yeah the city of Philadelphia only spent about $150 Million taxpayer dollars on their new ballpark-fucking losers
I'm a Phillies fan and I live in NYC. I went to the Phils Yanks series earlier this year and it was some mean baseball, this series is going to be amazing.
As for this Post crap; if you take it with the same grain of salt as the other shit they deem fit to print year round, then fine. Ha ha, good one guys. But if you take it as a call to arms against Philadelphia and start spewing all this crap back out, then shame on you.
And whitecastlerock, didn't the whole friggin' country buy the Mets a stadium? jussayinisall
Go baseball; the nation got the series it deserves.
didn't the whole friggin' country buy the Mets a stadium? jussayinisall Oh I agree, it was my poor attempt at sarcasm...
HAHAH LIKE A GIRL. & we all hate women, right? So weak, & stupid. Stupid women! Haha that will show that sport team, when we compare them to the worst thing we can think of-- girls. Girls, almost as terrible as minorities.
Do you think they actually have editorial meetings to pick these headlines? I want to meet the guy who writes these. I really do. Could you imagine having a beer with a guy who's most creative output is turning Philadelphia into Silly-delphia? Guess the papers are pandering to the ol' retarded 4-year-olds market.
phillyist.com is pink. nuff said!
Whatever works. Philadelphia fans are amongst the worst Fans in any sport, maybe more so than Boston (Or New York). Talking smack helps us cope in many ways.
They're so awful they shit all over their own teams. Any wonder why Veterans Stadium was rat infested?
There's a lot to hate in Philly.
There's a lot to like in Philly.
But, Philadelphia is not for sissies. They live to treat their sports teams like crap, until they win.
I see this immature shit in the Daily News and I think, "What are you guys? Eleven?"
Can I say one thing?
I have no problem with one team's fans attacking another team. that's a part of the territory of sports teams, and a part of the entertainment value: you take a bunch of athletes who are good, stick them on a team and give them fans to be die-hard for.
But when you attack the entire concept of sports, thinking you're being intelligent and original, you simply piss me off. You act like you're above the idea of sports, when really you're just making yourself look idiotic, because one who is above a concept doesn't feel the need to post in a forum about said concept. You pretentious ass. (and yes, I'm refering to you i2hellfire, you and your faggy idealisms)
That said, go yankees.
