Don't Mess with Philly

Philly fans have long been known for their, shall we say, excitement for their sports. We were the only stadium to actually have a jail inside of it in order to process fans that displayed their 'excitement' a little too enthusiastically.

Hell, we even booed Santa. Who does that? Philly.

In order to fully understand it, you definitely have to experience it. We live and die with our teams, and stay with them through the years, good or bad. I grew up watching Lenny Dykstra, Darren Daulton and John Kruk. I watched them when they were horrendous, and then literally cried when they won the World Series in 2008 (then cussed out the TV when the stupid Yankees beat us last year....I loathe the Yankees, along with any other team that isn't from Philly, but especially THEM)

With that being said, it was no surprise when a fan, who ran on the field during the 8th inning of the Phillies game got tasered. You may gasp and say, "Was it really necessary?" People are questioning whether the use of a taser was excessive force.

NO. He interrupted the game for crying out loud. If you are going to do that, at least do something cool. Don't run around like an idiot while security guards chase you. He even called his Dad BEFORE he did it to let him know. What an IDIOT. In all honesty, this kid had it coming, and I don't feel like the least bit sorry.


Now, back to the game.
