So here's the thing... I am a born and bred PROUD Philly fan (as I have said in previous posts). I also have a special place in my heart for the Big Apple - I work here, I have friends here and it is a fantastic city.
that being said
I am OVER the claims by certain newspapers (and I use that term v-e-r-y loosely because I am speaking about the NY POST) when they tap some Yankee fans for quotes like like "It's a nothing city - it is insignificant in comparison to New York" or " "The big meal there is a steak with cheese and onions on a hero, but they don't even call it a hero. It's a hoagie. What the hell is a hoagie?" Don't get me wrong, I have been known to talk some trash myself, but I keep it related to the GAME. I just find it funny that all these NY fans say that Philly fans are "bitter", "whiners" and "unruly" - I prefer the terms "boistrous", "passionate" and "determind". Yes, we had jail at the Vet -- extreme? maybe... but I also have to wonder if it kept violent behavior down.... but back to the topic - if you are going to sling some mud, keep it relevant... stick to the game! To me, it sounds like Yankee fans are nervous because Philly has quite the talented line up and let's be honest -- it is not like the Yankees swept the Angeles... they BARLEY squeeked out that win... unlike the Phillies who CRUSHED the Dodgers in a few games... 11-0, 8-0 .... I'm just saying....
So BRING IT YANKEES! I think this will be a battle, no doubt, and I am excited to watch how it unfolds!
