My buddy Mikey B. posted a similar blog a long time ago - but I had to do my ranting as well.

So, my wife and I are at the Phillies/Mets game on Tuesday (MF'in sweep!!!) and we're sitting like 4 seats down from two 17 year old douchebags trying to impress their 16 year old ugly friends who they think they might hook up with later. They do this by shouting a billion things at the Mets players - most of them making no sense at all.

Now let me clarify. I am a shit talker myself. When I went to the Padres game on Saturday I was screaming at Milton Bradley to sit his ass down. When I'm at a Mets game, I will make my opinions known. But everything I shout is either true or makes people laugh. I also am not above shouting at my own team. When Kyle Loshe failed two times at putting down a bunt on Saturday I yelled to let me pinch hit as I could get something as simple as a bunt down. Before Adam Eaton even threw a pitch on Tuesday I yelled "let's hold 'em to single digits tonight Adam!"... (for those of you that don't know - Adam Eaton might be the worst starting pitcher in baseball)

And one more thing to clarify - yes, I do something feel old when I say things like what is about to follow - but I am getting old...

Mike's blog way back when was about college nights. College Nights at Citizens Bank Park are a mess of vulgarity and people there only to drink and not giving a shit about the game. It does make it very hard for those of us there to watch a ballgame, to enjoy ourselves. Yes, that sounds like I'm a stick in the mud, but once you experience one of these, you'd definitely see what I'm talking about.

Anyway, to Tuesday. So these kids are yelling things at Mets players like "Get down on your knees and suck it," "I'm going to beat you like the asshole you are" to Carlos Delgado right before he smacks a 12,000 foot homer and to Moises Alou "you wash your hands with your own piss." I don't even know what that means. Meanwhile these stupid little girls are laughing along like they are impressed that these douchebags are yelling things that don't even  make sense. But then of course, in the fourth inning they say the wrong thing - "Reyes is the gayest, just like you in front of us, with the Reyes jersey on." So the security guard comes and tell them is they continue to yell at other fans he will "toss their asses". So these two boys with the big balls don't say a word the rest of the game. I wonder how the ladies like going home with pussies!!! I'm all for shit talking and representing your team. Bastard No. 2 is a huge Mets fan and I love going to the Phils/Mets games with him because he represents his team but with some common sense. My section was filled with Mets fans. There was a full family of Mets fans. Mom, Dad, Daughter, Son-In Law, Grandma, Grandpa...they were cheering like crazy for the mets, starting Let's Go Mets chants etc...and the guy directly in front of me had a Carlos Delgado jersey on and after the homer he got up and starting tugging on the Jersey and pointing at it - displaying it for all of us. But when Jimmy Rollins hit his homer he was silent....I respect these people. I can't like them as they are Mets fans, but I do respect that they support their players while respecting the game.

On the way back to the parking lot - they are selling Eagles shirts that say "Romo's A Homo". For some reason, in this context it's kind of funny.

And finally, just to get the irritation out of the way - I'm on vacation this week and twice my work called me to do something. Fuck, that annoys me.
