Stay classy, Phillies fans. Ah yes, chucking the metaphorical battery at your opponent when he’s down.

Keeping him in to pitch to Ryan Howard was questionable at best. It didn’t work out, but bringing him in was obviously the right move.

What has Todd Helton ever done to them? I mean if they were booing a prominent player on a division rival, or someone with steroid allegations, but Todd Helton? Really? In other news, does anyone else keep thinking of the "It's not your fault" scene in Good Will Hunting, only with Matt Holliday as Matt Damon and Tony LaRussa as Robin Williams? Cuz, you know, it was the stupid towels.

I actually shaved my tribute to Spilly's August BotM on Wednesday morning to start a proper playoff beard. It might be the biggest personal sacrifice I've ever made for anything. I'll post pics of the tribute beard soon so everyone can see why. As for the classlessness of Philly fans, I too was disgusted when they cheered Tulo getting hit by a pitch. But I thought it was more disgusting immediately after that when they booed him for being looked at by the training staff. These have to be the type of people who tortured animals as kids...right up until they got too fat from cheesesteaks to be able to catch any animals. Good find on that article, Kylie.

I swear this team must want to give me ulcers. Looking forward to what Scott and Ted have to say about the game, but for now, I just want to add one thing: get some class, Philly. Cheering when Tulo gets hit? Not cool. Jerk-faces. PHEW. I swear this team must want to give me ulcers.

There is perhaps only one Mets pitcher in the past 15 years who was cooler, and that was Turk Wendell, who was just about the coolest pitcher ever, even though he played on the Mets...although according to Wikipedia, his last appearance was with the Rockies, which is both news to me and totally awesome. That said, Cookie Monster, save us. Al Leiter is right, because Al Leiter is an American Hero.
