You Stay Classy, Philadelphia


Kudos Philadelphia Phans. You deserve a round of applause for your actions Saturday evening after Brad Lidge's streak of perfection ended. As great as your actions were, I severely doubt anyone in the National media will pick up on it and ever use it as evidence of how great a phan base we have here in Philly.

In case you missed it, Brad Lidge finally blew a save opportunity on Saturday evening. When Cholly went out to remove him from the game, Lidge was given a standing ovation to thank him for his level of perfection over the past year. The applause truly fit the moment and I was so proud at moment to call myself a Phillies phan.

I bet Wilbon and the rest of the boys at ESPN will never acknowledge that this ever occurred.

Somebody did not prepare the Phillies pitchers for the season. Not one of them can hit the catcher's glove. All pitches are drifting right over the middle of the plate.

I saw reports on the TV up here and in NYC that showed one half of the Philly fans throw snow balls at Lidge while the other half were hitting Iverson's old posse up for handguns with filed off serial numbers to come back and shoot your boy Cholly!
