C.L.A.S.S.L.E.S.S!!

Alright alright, im offically done now!

*tips hat for thefightins for posting this*

I’m pretty sure that 100% of Phillies fans would have down the same thing. So all the “What a douche that guy is” comments are invalid

In the end, this kid learned a lesson. Don’t be the Philly Bartman like your dad.

lol at the “you dont think that guys gonna do that”. Awwwwwwwww look at that poor kid look around like are they booing US dad

Werth is the one reaching in the guy is sitting in the second seat and just reaches up not out. Maybe Werth shoulda went Derek Jeter on him and dove in head first to try to catch it. I just feel bad for the kid.

me too Rico

@roids: FALSE. Epically false. Demonstrably false. YOU LOSE! YOU GET… NOTHING! GOOD DAY, SIR!

This season is like bizarro world where everything is upside down! Last year we had the adorable father daughter moment and what do we get this year? This awkward father son moment. Weird. I will be sure to tune in every night to see what happens next!

WOAH! Man, you just ran through a big pile of dog shit!
– It happens.
What, shit?
– Sometimes…

…..Jenkins, my next door neighbor. That guy’s wise as shit and knows the score.

And while we’re at it, Rico…. Sophie… ERIC says Werth was wrong… you guys really sure you want of piece of that action?

“I’m pretty sure that 100% of Phillies fans would have down the same thing. So all the “What a douche that guy is” comments are invalid”
—

No, most of us actually like baseball. When you actually watch the game.. you know the difference. Fans are not part of the game, period. Dumb comment part I. When’s part II coming?

Chuts,
I thought we agreed it was a heat of the moment thing. My reaction after seeing that was wow why is werth making a big deal like we were in the last game of the world series. it’s still the first half of the year and cursing at that fan won’t raise your batting average or take the bat off your shoulder with a runner on third.

Yes, the Phillies needed a W — they’ve been lacking in those, due in good part to Werth’s general suckitude.

This was a dick move by Werth. As I pointed out in the other thread, the ball was in the stands. The fan did not reach into the field.

I can understand Werth being upset that he couldn’t get to the ball, but he should not have reamed out the dad, in front of his son. That little kid looked like he wanted to cry.

Jayson Werth needs to salvage this by making amends to the kid and his dad. I expect this kind of assholery from A-Rod, not from these Phils.

Eric, if you drove a truck and someone cut you off, making you miss an important light, would you say “aw, gosh darn, that’s the way the cookies crumble! hyuck yuck!!”

nope.

Jayson Werth has no right to go in to the stands thinking he can catch a foul ball. Walls were built for a REASON!

hope Werth comes on here today more than any other day.

Werth shoulda made that catch. He’s got a glove for crying out loud! The fan barehanded it like a champ!

J I think the kid was thinking the same ?.

@Rico:

You know what’s even weirder with this bizarro world?

That adorable father/daughter moment happened last year because of a foul ball hit by … Jayson Werth.

“GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY” reminds me of a scene from one the greatest movies ever.

@Chutley: You’re pretty sure the dad has yelled at the kid in public for being a bastard?

Really?

Do me a favor: Don’t have kids.

The ball was in the stands. The fan didn’t reach into the field of play. He moved instinctively to catch a foul ball, and realized his mistake immediately.

Werth acted like a douchebag. And I imagine the Phillies PR department is going to make sure he makes amends.

Incidentally, REGARDLESS of what was said, this would have been my reaction had I been that guy.

calling it: this exact moment is the beginning of the end for werth in this city if he doesn’t apologize.

fan acts out of impusle–honest mistake

werth acts ouf impusle–hes a “douchbag.”

Not only is that one of the biggets poser insults, but it’s awful, twisted logic

haha JoeWade, if people dislike Jayson over this, they’ve stamped their case as the most fickle people in America. That’s about as unreasonable as it gets.

@Suz – “Werth acted like a douchebag. And I imagine the Phillies PR department is going to make sure he makes amends.”

If they do, get ready every 5th game to hear sections 302 & 303 chanting “FUCK THAT GUY! YOU WERE RIGHT, JAYSON!”

And as far as a fielder (and fan) is concerned – the “Field of play” stops wherever the fielder’s reach ends.

@will,

I’m not sure what an impusle is … but even Kevin Millar, on the MLB network, was ripping Jayson for tossing the F-bomb at that dad, sitting there with his kid.

@Chutley – Not sure if you’re just joking around like the rest of us or if your surprisingly heterosexual hard-on for all things Chase is making you go into shining armor mode, but yeah, we’re not seriously thinking Werth is dining on some Jen Utley brand tuna. To sum up, a troll brought it up from a RELIABLE SOURCE (read: an article some douche posted on a blog because he was bored), and it’s becoming a running gag here. Join in! It’s fun and easy! For example:

“Speaking of catching balls, I’m sure Jen caught a couple after the game – IN HER FACE COURTESY OF JAYSON.”

BAM! Comedy. Or something like that.

@Chutley
That is a lot to chant. Good luck.

weirdo, im not sure how to respond to that nonsense. I’m insanely confused by what you’re even trying to say.

If i came to your job and messed up your shit.. would a calm cool wave of serenity come over you if i reminded you that you made way more money than i did? How.. weird (o)

suz ya got me, Kevin Milliar is actually The Lord.

no wait, he’s also another goober sitting on hindsight

@Chutley

the city of brotherly love.

@Sophie
I don’t even think it has to be that big of a deal. A simple set of tickets to a game where Werth throws him a signed ball would be enough. If the media makes a big deal out of it you know fat-ass Sue Serio on Fox will waddle down to the ballpark to “cover it”, but the Phillies can find out who the guy and his kid are and give them seats behind the dugout where he and Werth don’t interact, and Werth can run by during warmups.

CTM-

40% joking around
60% surprisingly-heterosexual-hard-on-inspired Jen Defense.

Girl’s a class act, is all.

Now if you want to bust chops about all of the “Oh you just KNOW he fucked her” smiles/winks J-Dub’s thrown to the balls girls on his way out to Right, I’m your man.

Freddie – “We’re Here. We’re Queer. We don’t want anymore Bears!” Right rhythm, ANYTHING can catch on.

EXACTLY, Sophie! So love a brother for doing his job with passion!

weirdo, you’re assuming the fan that stopped werth from making the final out doesn’t make millions himself. Either way, each guys paycheck doens’t change the issue. Dummy thought he’d be big hero and catch a ball for his son. No big deal i suppose, neither is a naughty word. Both acted out of impulse so im not sure how you can take the one guys side because he makes less money come payday. Awful.

suz, If 51 out of 100 MLB players side with Werth, I assume you’ll be ok with the situation?

Joe Wade – Scott Rolen is a jackass for leaving. JD Drew is a jackass for snubbing us. Wes Helms is a jackass for sucking.

Name one – ONE – player who was driven out of this town for showing TOO MUCH hustle and intensity. Christ on a crutch, that used to be the ONE THING we valued above all!

It’ll be a written statement that they’ll post on the website and that’ll probably get to ESPN that’s the usual “My behavior was not acceptable as an athlete or a role model, and I hope that this experience does not sour that family on the experience of attending a live baseball game.” He’ll probably field some questions before the game, maybe have some WIP time talking about it with The Cuz or something.

I don’t think there was any problem with the initial F-Bomb, it was a heat of the moment type thing and the guy should have stayed in his seat if he saw the giant dude with a enormous beard barreling towards him. But when Werth saw the kid, he should have shut up. He shouldn’t have looked back and said it yet again.

The best part about the clip is what Wheels is saying he told the guy, though. I just picture Werth saying exactly that, in Wheels’ voice.

I still think this pales in comparison to basically LeBron telling the entire city of Cleveland to go fuck itself, though.

haha wait wait wait, you buncha fakes

Chase Utely offended millions of families when he said World Fucking Champions, yet most, not all, treat him like he’s Jesus Ghandi Christ Washington Obama

Werth’s held to a higher standard because he’s a professional making millions of dollars to act like a professional on the baseball field. That’s his job. And he’s got millions of reasons not to loose his cool at the fans (who pay his frickin’ salary.)

I EAT COCK.

Hey Red Sox fan here

I’m not here to troll or to be an asshole. Just wondering what you’ve heard about Werth possibly being traded by the end of next week because of problems in the clubhouse ? I’m hearing all of these crazy rumors. Do you think they are going to trade him ?

Freddie – I was being facetious calling you retarded. I often forget that on the internet, no one can your sarcasm. Chanting is great. And the “Chanting is Great” chant is, itself, great.

Lynnie – I don’t think it’s all girls! That was a stupid comment I made to be “That guy.” honestly. I know there are plenty of equally phanatical vagina’d die-hards out there, no worries!

Sophie – honestly, I don’t mean to keep picking on you, I don’t! But… who gives a shit if it was nationally televised?! When did we start giving a shit what ANY other city thinks about us? If he apologized, fine (but I hope the Green Meanie apologized right back…), but making a big deal about it is what MAKES IT A BIG DEAL.

And finally, Tony – while your comment is hilarious, I actually thought about that. Like… psychologically… is the city actually YELLING at the dog it can’t bare to say goodbye to?

89 made me LOL at 2:07am

Will: So being a professional in a particular field doesn’t hold one to a higher standard than a nonprofessional?

Interesting. So if your doctor botches your surgery, I’m sure you’ll hold him to the same standard as the homeless bum on the corner who can’t tell an artery from his ass. Or maybe you’ll expect him to be a professional and tell him he better do a good job because you’re paying him to do it.

I would demand the latter but it sounds like you’d be ok with the former. Takes all kinds I guess.

On the replay Werth just got doubled off again. T-Mac makes the wrong call, as usual (saying that it doesn’t matter that Werth’s foot is on the bag even though it is off), and Werth is standing there with his foot off the bag because he is a sulky bitch. I might keep watching the game to see if he redeems himself by making a nice catch of a foul ball in the stands. If he can’t do that maybe he pops a homer in extras to win the game. Either or, and I’ll give him a pass for his shit performance and body language tonight.

I’m glad others see the likeness. My buddy in NY is a Muts fan, and everytime the Phils play them, when Werth is up, I get this text: “You think you know me….”

As for the other topic… I’m done. It’s clear Will, myself and others are in the outnumbered (albeit CORRECT) minority.

City of Philadelphia
1701 – 2010
Cause of Death: Pussified

Fuck anyone that is pissed at Werth, Sure it’s “look at Werth’s lack of effort” or “damn we suck why can’t we win!” but nooo when Werth shows a little frustration after losing two to the Braves you freak out. If the next ball went out of the park and we lost you’d be singing a different tune. Piss the fuck off.

Aw poor retarded mohawk kid.

will, if the bum bumped the doctor’s arm, I hope the doctor would yell at him for it.

Wow what a jack hole. I feel so bad for that guy and his kid. Anyone else would’ve done the same thing. Now I hope we trade Jayson Werth for some bullpen action.

haha Lynnie, YES

except to say this, then I’m done for tonight:

To Strategery and others of similar sentiment:

Fuck you, you front-running, thankless, fickle fans.

If they trade Werth and bring up Brown (instead of putting him in left when Raul’s done)…. as much as I love Brown and I’m excited to see him, I’d laugh my ass of if his knee fucking exploded and ended his career, because it’s exactly what you fake fucking fans deserve.

Chutley go soon, they will certainly tell the Mets where you are.

Will: If the doctor invited the bum to watch him perform surgery and the bum was paying his salary, I wouldn’t expect the doctor to scream at him because he accidentally bumped his arm.

But I’m the kind of person who thinks it’s completely unnecessary for a professional to chew out someone who makes a mistake, instantly realizes it, is sorry for it, and it doesn’t impact anything.

Guess I’m the crazy one here. What this world needs is more cursing at folks who make innocent mistakes.

Wow, Chutley. I’m rather impressed with your hostility, not so much your speed

Fickle and thankless? You’re mistaken, my friend. I’m simply stating the facts. I love Werth and think he’s an amazing player who’s contributed massively to the efforts over the past few seasons.

By the way, we won tonight, remember?

Get some sleep, sounds like you need it.

hate then Will.H and Lynnie are having cool convo whilst Chutley and myself keep biting each others head off.

All those for Will.H and Lynnie to go to bed say FUCK WERTH!

above all i’m worried about werth. it’s just the kid of thing that the media around here could tear apart.

“could be blow up on a fan like this again?”

“is his attitude a problem behind the scenes?”

“could his negativity be affecting his play at the plate?”

they could pile meaningless, agitating questions on him, or they could see it as nothing. I hope to god it’s the latter.

I hope Werth gets signed to a 4 year deal just to piss you people off now, Viva La Beardy!

whose side are you on Greenman?

weirdo, when in doubt, ask someone their salary and we can clear it up.

i like what you do though.. you proclaim we’re advocating everyone curses at eachother. I said that in comment twen.. thirt… fifty… when?

I’m on Werth’s side of course, I mean the guy is a dick yeah (my close personal source went to high school with him and said so) but he got caught up in the moment and yelled. Doesn’t even notice the kid. Adrenaline and losing can do a lot to you.

I watched that play about 10 times on MLB.TV, trying to put myself in both person’s shoes. I think the play just happened so fast. Sometimes, you just see that ball falling, and NOTHING else. You see guys screaming all kinds of obscenities after a strike out or a bad pitch, it just so happened that this time, a fan was involved. God, think about how much you yell at the TV during a game, and you’re not even playing! I do believe Jayson was 100 percent wrong, but I also think that he will make amends for that. He has to, because I don’t believe that the rest of the team would let it go down like that. That poor kid! When I ball is hit in your direction that hard, it isn’t always about catching it, its about not getting your teeth knocked in for not paying attention! Say the fan DID see Werth coming, what would happen if he missed the catch and someone got hurt? The play was unavoidable, and Jayson showed poor sportsmanship. Hopefully, he will fix it. But thank GOD for Schneider’s little wack tonight!! =)

@0157H7: I haven’t heard that rumor, but who knows really. I remember reading or hearing that they would look at where they are in the standings and see if they have a chance at the playoffs/wildcard. Then yesterday the GM said he would consider trading a player from his 25-man roster. “We don’t want to weaken our club, but if it weakens one area and strengthens another we might do that.”

@ Lynnie

it was a tired joke, fuck it.

@ Greenman

I guess, but im not letting him off the hook that easily

Impossible Sophie… It’s not my fault… I’ve tried to be succinct, but… I’m Irish.

I do need sleep, though. This thread has turned an AWESOME night into one that finds me, half a bottle of Jameson later, ready to grow out a Jesus beard and troll the streets hunting fat morons in green tee-shirts.

Good night all.

Forgive them, Oh Bearded One. They know not what they do.

Go Phils.

The conspiracy is spreadin! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

the kid should have cried.

I banged Jason’s mom while she was sitting in the exact seat the guy was who caught the foul ball.

Fair is fair.

it looks like Werth just bitchslapped the shit out of that dude in the pic

@ Milt

Your looking for the recap thread.

Werth, bad move. This guy, and the thousands like him, who take their kid out for a good time, pay Werth’s paycheck. Real classy Werth. You obviously appreciate your blessing to be where you are.

I wish I was there, I would of drilled the coward.

I just bought a Cuisinart Stainless Steel Griddle & Panini Maker for my locker. Thanks Woot!

Now if that damn Carlos would stop asking me to make Chicken Cases of Dildos, whatever those are.

Yeah Will I gotcha about maybe doing something on the spur of the moment. The fan did something on the spur of the moment. So did Jayson. I don’t agree with what either one did. I do think that Jayson should be more professional since he’s probably been there done that and the fan hasn’t.

All that being said, the fan immediately realized he was a dumbass. Jayson kept jawing at the guy even as he walked away.

I just don’t like that esp. since at that point he could see the kid standing there next to his dad. You don’t rip a guy a new asshole in front of his kid. That’s just douchy.

That being said hopefully Jayson realizes the error of his ways and apologies. I certainly hope so. I like to think the players on the Phillies are “good guys” (maybe I shouldn’t, I dunno.) I guess I am just disappointed in a player I thought was a “good guy.”

You could Sophie, but honestly I think people are getting flustered over Wertz so I might be the only one paying attention.

i’m fuckin out

There’s no trolls because there’s nothing they can say. Werth emasculated some guy in front of his kid and will undoubtedly, whether it’s forced or not, issue some sort of apology. Johan Santana is a rapist and Chipper Jones cheated on his wife.

I think those trump Jayson.

What is with half the comments on here taking shots at Werth’s hitting? Newsflash, retards, Werth has been the best hitter on the team.

Rich, have you watched a game in say, the last month?

Seriously, I spit water out of my nose when I read that. Best hitter on the team? Really. What’s his average with RISP?

I digress:

I know this isn’t a basketball blog, but you must respect someone who fires a salvo like this.

In the words of Eric Cartman, this is so awesome…

http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/gilbert_letter_100708.html

Scott: I know there are other asshats who are worse, but those guys don’t play for my team. I guess I’m harder on “my guys” because I expect more out of them then I expect out of asshat Santana.

Phils Phan did you read ZWR’s post? http://www.zoowithroy.com/2010/07/open-letter-to-cavaliers-owner-dan.html

@ Greenman!:

That is awesome. But even awesomer is this conspiracy theory diagram. ZwR really blurs that line between genius and insane. And I love it.

Phan, that letter is awesome. If I was him I would sign a bunch of enforcer type guys and just stack my bench with them, and then whenever we played the Heat, send them after LeBron’s knees.

LeBron’s gonna find out real quick he doesn’t like sharing the spotlight, three guys are gonna take every shot, and I bet that team’s broken up within two years.

@ alexander the so-so:

Bangin’ a member of the guy’s family doesn’t make him an honorary member of the family. It’s faulty logic like that which caused Delonte West to show up, uninvited, to LeBron’s Thanksgiving Dinner for the past two years.

Hey, So So !

Where did you get my 1979 family greeting card?!

@159
My mistake; I was not aware that anything that happened more than a month ago no longer counts.
Also, yes, I have been watching.

Werth since June 10th
.279 .371 .442

Holy crap! That shiz is KILLING the team. Get a clue, bro

Lets get it straight. Even though Jayson is “athletic” and 6 feet 8 inches, but if you look at the video carefully, he wouldn’t catch up to the ball. Therefor it that innocent fan didn’t do shit but made a better catch than Cueto. Jayson should be pissed for not having Hawaiian speed, not at the fan. Trade him for the Sixers since he has caused shenanigans ever since he banged Mrs. Utley.

Oddly enough Joey Votto asked Werth to get out of the way of 1B earlier in the game. Werth obliged. Shuddup Werth

I would almost rather have the Mets get Cliff Lee…at least they aren’t the trendy fucking pick to win the World Series EVERY.FUCKING.YEAR!

Nothing gets in the way of my absolute hatred for the Yankees,their players,their owners,their coaches, their manager, and especially their arrogant douchebag fans!

this is just par for the course at the Bank in 2010. being a season ticket holder for a few years now i see the fans this year have become more and more about “me” down then any other. the crowds are just awful and very complacent and not really getting into it, whether it be an idiot kid getting tazed, the fat moron ruining a game by running on the field or the “fans” in general getting up and walking around in the middle of an at bat or not getting loud on 3-2 counts. that was a catchable ball (if a player can touch the ball is still in the field of play)and green shirts should have gotten clear for the home team to end the inning, you know what a fan should be more concerned about

You people (except will.H) are totally insane. No one has a problem with Werth when the team is playing well and he’s hitting home runs but now all of a sudden because of this stupid shit he’s not even fit to play in Philly anymore?

Any real baseball fan would see the dude in the stands was wrong. If Werth even conceivably has a shot catching that ball, you have to get the f out of the way and let him try. This is one of the problems with seats close to the field. People sitting there have the ability to impact the game but often care the least about what is happening on the field.

And if you think Werth owes the dude/his kid an apology, you are further insane-er. This might be getting a little deep but this is the biggest problem in American society today: everyone feels that they’re entitled to something. Werth doesn’t owe that dude shit, the Phillies don’t owe that dude shit. When he paid for the ticket, the Phillies agreed to play a baseball game and he agreed to have the right to watch. That’s it.

If I see a ball coming right at me, I’m putting my hands up and catching it. What was he supposed to do? If Werth missed, it would have probably hit him or his kid. He did the right thing.

I have read through this whole thing and I can’t believe that no one has mentioned the fans true motivation in catching this ball.

HE HAD A KID SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM!

Its not like it was a bunch of college guys being overly aggressive. It was a father trying to protect his kid.

I think a lot of this anger toward Werth has to do with the game as a whole. Dude got tagged out on a play that is on par with “The Hidden Ball Trick” and then like 30 seconds earlier acted like he just made a Willie Mays-ish catch by hanging on the gate like a total tool.

WAIT! HOLD THE FUCK UP!

I READING EVERYWHERE THAT WERTH BLEW OUT CHASE’S WIFE!? THERE’S BAD SHIT GOING DOWN IN THE LOCKER ROOM?! PLEASE SOME ONE GIVE ME A LINK OR ELABORATE!?

he deserves it for giving his kid that stupid haircut and wearing JORTS!

Meat’s right…when it is the home team’s foul ball coming your way, you do everything in your power to hold your ground and try to catch the ball. When it’s the opposing team’s foul ball coming your way, you do everything in your power to GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY so he can catch the ball.

I was going to games for years and never appreciated this RULE because I always wanted to catch a foul ball while I dreamed that one day the Cubs would win a World Series in my lifetime. Then look what happened to me….

it’s kinda hard when a ball is going to land on top of your head to get out of the way and expect werth to make the play. what if he doesn’t make the plan, and the ball hits his son right in the face? i think he would get boo’ed worsee for that. that being said, if he does get out of the way and lets werth make the play, i am sure werth would have given his son the ball. werth can be mad all he wants, he wants to win the game, but it’s not right to curse a father out in front of his young son.

@ LA’s Liver: Him being a father has nothing to do with his actions. Him having a child sitting next to him about to take a ball off the skull if he doesn’t catch it has everything to do with it.

Hot rumor is right now that we ship Werth to the Yankees for Javy Vasquez if this Lee deal goes through.

Say goodbye to Beard. Literally.

@Capt Murdock
if his child is that important, then why not shield his son or move him away from the ball coming at him instead of being more concerned about trying to catch it

@acasualobserver iv’e met him an it’s all true. he is an asshole, he is dismissive, he loved his weeds and women. i guess i’m different here and dont need the player on the “field” to be role models, just win… and that is exactly what the Phillies have done

Catching a foul ball that Jayson Werth could have caught to end the inning is the stupidest thing that fan ever did. Yelling at the fan is the stupidest thing Jayson Werth ever did.

That kid probably wishes Werth was his did.

Say bye bye Jayson Werth — this guy has done nothing for the team for a while now…… frustrations are high and he took it out on a fan in front of a young boy! NICE!!! That’s class for you! Not such a tragedy to see him get traded now! The guy did not reach over to get the ball — it was hit directly at him! It appears that he wasn’t even aware that Werth was going for the ball. If anything, Werth should have been yelling at his team mates for not covering home on the passed 3rd strike ball — which allowed the run that tied up the game in the first place! Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy!! Should have never gone into extra innings!!

No one wants to talk about the Lee to the Yankees, Werth to the Yankees, Vasquez to the Phillies rumors?

This is big shit.

yeah, love werth but cursing at a father in front of his kid like that was really bad. i know the father didn’t think about it like this, but his son would have remembered jayson werth catching that ball in front of him for a long time. now he’s just going to remember his dad getting cursed out by a baseball player…

@Ghost of LA’s Liver:

“have none of you been to a game during the vet days?”

It’s pretty obvious from the thread who did and didn’t. Some of us used to go to day games at the Vet just for the Experience. It didn’t matter if the team was playing good bad or indifferent.

And it was before the Era of the Soccer Mommy.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/07/yankees-red-sox-rays-interested-in-werth.html

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go.

@ Nikita: Is it really obvious?

So because some of us think it might be wrong to curse at a kid and his father then there is no way we could have ever been to The Vet? That seems like some pretty solid logic.

“I’ve been a fan of a team that used to be a real shitty team longer than you have! Give me my owed sense of entitlement!”

“That seems like some pretty solid logic.”

It’s my claim to fame, babe.

May 2010: BEARD!!! WERTH IS MONEY =D

July 2010: FUCK THIS DICK LICKER. HOW DARE HE DO THAT THING HE DID IN THE HEAT OFT HE MOMENT TO SOMEONE NONE OF US CARE ABOUT

@JP Don’t even feel bad. I’ll bet J-roll loves baked beans and I like that you are looking to spread the wealth through a trade. Two thumbs up.

Jayson and that dad both deserve a kick in the dick

Holy Christ… I can’t believe what’s going on here. All of you. All of you – with the notable exceptions of those who are obvious – are johnny come lately sons of bitches. Seriously. Whoever made the comment about the bank changing this year… they’re right. Now everyone hates Werth?! Are you fucking kidding me?! And now everyone (including the Red Sox/Yankees) see this as a trade-worthy incident? Someone’s actually excited about the prospect of Javy fucking Vasquez? I’m… I think I’m having a hatred aneurism…

you bastards are ruining the team I love…. and this happened fucking FAST. It’s not even the all star break and you fickle, forgetful, frontrunning fucks are DONE with a key contributor to the first World Fucking Championship season in 28 years?! Fuck you. I hate you. I hate the fatass in the green shirt. I hate his little mulleted bastard. I hate all of you. Fuck you all.

Go back to bitching about the Eagles, you stupid twats.

@Capt Murdock – without knowing the guys true intentions is true, we both are just seeing it differently but i do not agree that the guy had an malicious intent. he was just at potsy of bartman type levels.

@Chutley’s Impressed by Mac’s Speed that was me. and it really is absurd. didnt the Phillies just win the cities 1st world title in over 25+ years and then go back to the WS the following year, oh plus back to back to back East champions? theses are the same people trying to run cole and now werth out of town at the 1st sign of a problem

I woulda killed him

I’m disappointed in Werth, but I’m sure as hell not ready to see him go. All the talk of trading him is being overdramatic and completely unnecessary. I will say though that agreeing with Werth’s actions doesn’t make you any more of a fan than those that hated seeing him do that. Also, I don’t look for MLB players to be my moral compass, but I would prefer them not to act like ginormous tools to the fans paying to see them play.

Nutbag in green wasn’t seeing him play, though. He was trying to catch a ball and impress his kid. Had he been watching the game, he would have realized that it was a game we needed to win psychologically, it was the 12th fucking inning after 2 blown saves and that the ball was playable. Fans like that, we don’t need.

“I hate the fatass in the green shirt. I hate his little mulleted bastard.”

If it turns out that mullets and kelly green t-shirts on fatasses are forevermore banned from CBP – then this incident was so WERTH it! Get it? LOLZlolz all day long.

*My favorite thing to come out of this is the idea that “If you don’t agree with me then there is no way you have been a fan for more than 3 years.”*

There’s that, and the fact that one of Amandah’s posts finally got a laugh out of me. Sick as it was.

@ Nikita: Agreed! Then again it is the first one that doesn’t follow the tried and true formula of:

I would like to in my .

Allow me to try again:
I would like (insert player) to (insert innuendo) in my (insert second innuendo but use baseball terminology this time) .

I just figured it out… Chutley is Jeff Francoeur!

Only a Met could be that big of a douchebag.

“Had he been watching the game, he would have realized that it was a game we needed to win psychologically, it was the 12th fucking inning after 2 blown saves and that the ball was playable.”

You just cut to the chase. How many of us were watching, or listening to this game, saying: just END.THIS.GAME Phils, come on already! Close it down! Instead Greenie was in his seat waiting for the moment – HIS moment – when he could grab a ball to take home with him. “dum dee dum dum, I’ll just wait to get a ball for my trophy case, dum dee dum dum…” (DUDE where’s your priorities?)

Well at least Junior will never commit such a heinous faux pas.

Amen, Nikita. A-fucking-men.

You cant blame Werth for being pissed. I watched the game and I was pissed. Chances are Werth would of gave him him the ball anyway. Now the guy was trying to be a great dad and give his son a ball, but at the time and situation what he hell would you interfere with the game. Stupid.

That kid is traumatized for a while. And can any of us forget the time a fan caught the ball and made the away team win the game. Note to fans if they have the potential out and its your team that needs the out. DONT CATCH THE FUCKING BALL!!!

Hey everyone, let’s just go ahead and trade Jayson Werth for a bag of balls, and then sign Frank Thomas to a Minor League deal!

He’s retired and can’t field any position anymore, but i’m pretty fucking sure he could still spark more offense as a pinch-hitter than we’ve been seeing out of the Phillies lately!

jayson werth should be traded for this. i don’t care who we get in return. he just bought his ticket out of town. go to the yankees you piece of shit bearded asshole.

Cliff Lee to the yankees? well fuck me with a brick

I’ve been finding it rather funny that people have been using curse words while saying that Werth was in the wrong.

For me, I find it offensive that people get so offended by somone yelling. That kid heard that same phrase from the people around him all night, and probably heard about 100x’s worse after his dad made a move on the ball to make the catch.

And why aren’t the Phillies making ethnic themed shirts for guys that are actually on the team? I’m sick of seeing those damn green shirts everywhere. I used to like them, but only when they wore them for St. Paddy’s Day. I could understand getting one with McGraw’s number and everything on it, but aside from that, it doesn’t make any sense. And the ones with the shamrock in them? Hell, isn’t that the same as getting a jersey and putting your own name on it? And yes, I’m Irish, but only in decent, not in rooting interests in a baseball team. Give me someone from Ireland, not someone who’s descended from Ireland.

Francoeur… whoa, whoa, whoa. I made my “Werth just wrote his ticket out of town” comment, and YOU accused ME for being a “fickle and thankless fan.” I did not antagonize you in any way. Funny how quickly you forget the course of events.

I think this issue’s been beat to death and there’s no point in arguing with someone who embraces the Philly stereotype.

See you at the game tonight, I suppose? Or will you be analyzing the game and the fans in the stands from your couch again?

i am sick watching this, Werth is a dick and should make a formal apology to this man and his kid and compensate them in some way. what a way to ruin a night out for father and son. he didn’t reach into the field of play, it was a foul, it was coming right for his child, what father wouldn’t try to catch it and protect his child/get a foul ball that is coming his way. Werth is classless and no way to show appreciation to his fans that look up to him, especially children. what a dick.

diane, you’re so classy

FUCK THE FUCKING KID! WHO CARES! I was screaming at the tv also! I’m sorry if some soft wimpy kid from the suburbs got his feelings hurt! BFD! We all need to get a kick in the balls sometime! Werth was in the heat of the moment trying to win the game. I’m sure he wishes he didnt terrorize that kid after the fact, BUT GODDAMN, LET A MAN BE PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS PROFESSION

Per a very good source – “Werth gave the guy and his son a bat, ball and signed glove between innings. Just an FYI and he apologized.”

My dad sux. Boooooo.

bigmyc,
There are no little games. You along with all the post 2008 frontrunner fans who just want to pay their ticket price and enjoy the scenery are exactly what’s wrong with these softening phillies fans (fans?) these days.

WOULD WE ALL BE HAPPIER IF JAYSON WERTH BACKED AWAY AND AFTER THE GAME JUST SAID
“WHY IS EVERYONE GETTING UPTIGHT? IT’S JUST A REGULAR SEASON GAME. IT DOESN’T MATTER”

Jayson is playing hard just like you want him too. we all would have reacted(acutally we all did react watching at home) the same way. it really angers me how people are turning on werth just because hes slumping and is in a contract year.

Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t think Werth ever saw the kid. Looking at the video way more times than I would like to admit it, it appears to me that Werth’s feet are barely back on the ground and he’s saying something to the Phartman. I believe he couldn’t have seen the kid at that point. Then as he walks away in the first segment of the video he looked over his shoulder then turned his head back away from the stands and said something. He appeared at that point to just be displaying frustration as he would after a strikeout and it seemed that he was a good distance away by that time, so I don’t believe it could be considered another admonishment of Phartman.

I also don’t see why there is so much of a problem with Chutley, it’s my belief his initial displeasre with some posters wasn’t so much their disagreement of what occured and who did what wrong. Chutley seemed to take offense to the kneejerk reaction of people calling for Werth’s dismissal from the team as though he were a criminal.

Jason shouldn’t have reacted as he did but I understand why he did. (3rd out fan fucked up)

Phartman shouldn’t have done what he did but I also understand why he did it. (I want ball)

If Phartman was right in doing what he did he would have been cheered. 45,000 others didn’t see it that way.

Even the Cinncinatti announcers commented that Phartman was wrong.

Will.h and Chutley, I could only read about 20 posts from the two of you before my head almost exploded. You guys are collectively the stupidest single person I have ever met. This isn’t about the pussification of Philadelphia or a heat of the moment reaction from Werth. He screamed at a father in front of his fucking kid. How in the world is that comparable to what Utley did during the parade? If I have to type out the difference to you, then you’re even more useless than I had imagined.

Werth kept up the charade as he sauntered back to RF. As I previously mentioned, he also spent the game looking like shit, arguing with umpires, and throwing his equipment all over the field. This is a fucking professional baseball player. If Milton Bradley wants to act that way, fine, let other organizations deal with that bullshit. When I watch my professional teams, I take pride in knowing they tend to play the game right and honest. What I saw last night was a disappointment on so many levels. I don’t care if you lose, just give it a hell of a shot (see: Flyers). But yelling at a paying customer for an honest action (can’t even call it a mistake)… that’s fucking absurd and indefensible. To make matters infinitely worse.. it was a fucking game in July against the Reds. Christ. Again, grow the fuck up Werth.

Further, if Werthless said that to me in front of my kid I wouldn’t hit him in the back of the head with the ball. Prick.

Strategery:

Section 303, Row 5, Seat 17. For the uninitiated (which you’re not, you 30-year-fan, you…), that’s in the outfield, fair territory, 2 sections to the right of the Liberty Bell. The Liberty Bell is a Philadelphia symbol stemming from its origins in Carpenter’s Hall, where the 2nd Continental Congress voted for Independence. Independence is the state of freedom won from a hated oppressor, such as America from England, or Me from unfunny, moronic, casual fans who would rather coddle someone else’s kid then see his team win a psychologically important & hard fought game.

So I say again: 303, 5, 17. Come say hi. Call me random Mets names. Tell the whole section how I was being unreasonable and how Jayson Werth should be traded for offending your delicate sensibilities & giving you the vapors by doing his job with the hustle and intensity that we’ve historically demanded from all of our players.

Then be prepared to have them laugh at you and call you names while I shove your glib, pretentious, front-running tongue up your own fucking ass. Who knows, maybe J-Dub can stop by and we can share a joint along with a huge group of fans who appreciates his effort in between rounds of the game, “Make the terrible fan cry, apologize, and then thank you for the lesson.”

Go Phils.

Jayson Werth’s reaction to that fan was not passion, it was aggression. I would also love for him to take out his aggression on a ball instead of a fan.

Damn, Phan, I can’t believe you read back that far. Thanks. So how long before national media makes a story of this, or does it stay relegated to local blogs?

i miss when philly was tough, the fans didnt give a fuck and just wanted to win

“Werth is a flash in the pan”
–

no.

Werth owes an apology. I would have lost my F’ng mind if he did that to me with my kid next to me. Werth needs to yell at himself for not performing and not take it out on the fans. That goes for all of these athletes. Shane stopped short of calling us frontrunners only because he didn’t want to feel the same wrath J-Roll got. You know what? If you’re sucking, we are going to tell you and NO we aren’t going to CHEER when you’re losing. Feed off of us when you not doing anything and playing unfundamental BB? Please!!! BTW Werth is now a DoucheBag in my book.

And BTW @ #79 Will H. Douchebag Werth directed vehement use of the F word toward a fan AND in proximity to his kid. Utley was celebrating and used it in that context. You’re a tool.

Im sorry to the dad and kid. I was upset at the moment and I let my emotions get the best of me. Now everybody get off my back and stop twittering me and requesting to unfriend me on facebook. LOL

i met this girl sari once and she like “ew mister” and i was like “naw” and she was like “grrr” and i was like “stooop.”

no class

Will you lost me when you said the fan showed stupidity. The guy immediately cowered into his seat because he knew he messed up by not allowing his team to record the final out. He made a mistake and clearly was upset with himself. I’m not sure how that is showing stupidity. Keep grasping for straws. You are what is wrong with Philadelphia and its fan base. You have this.. romantic view that Philadelphia fans are supposed to be battery-throwing neanderthals. Fuck that stereotype. That is the type of fandom that ESPN promotes and we all HATE. We try to show some minimal level of class – holding a local player accountable – and you would rather us all yell at eachother (fans yelling at fans). Why in the world would you advocate that as the type of behavior we should STRIVE for? You just want to feed into the notion that we’re all assholes so ESPN can keep saying it. You seem to love the bad guy rep we have. That’s fine, but learn where the line is. Applauding Werth for yelling at the fans is indefensible. Do us all a favor, go back to WIP where the ‘real’ fans debate sports. You clearly have no fucking clue how the real world works.

and um, haha wait.. I have a romantic view that we’re supposed to throw batteries?

What size shoe do i wear? Do i like handjobs? Am I good at poker?

The way i see it, you’ve been waiting to dish out that commentary for a while and you picked a poor moment. lets start with what you dont know

1. I dont advocate violence
2. I didnt applaud werth
3. You’re criticizing Werth for making a rash decision to yell at a guy, but yet you’re taking your time to act like a prick.
4. I’m not whats wrong with Philadelphia because I think both parties acted selfish.
5. You don’t know everything no matter how hard you fake it
6. You take arguments to an outrageous, disappointing level. what class!

“You clearly have no fucking clue how the real world works.” –written on an internet blog comment section. Also, using the same curse word that you’re crucifying Werth for using.

Green-Dad might’ve realized he’d made a mistake b/c passionate Werth (albeit in the heat of the moment) yelled at him for his “mistake” and b/c passionate Phila fans (albeit in the heat of the moment) booed him for his “mistake”. I think that might be where his contrite behavior came from. But I’m not entirely sure he would’ve otherwise believed he’d made a “mistake”.

Seriously? Can’t believe 287 of you wasted time on something so irrelevant.

Don’t worry – Yanks are getting Lee, and we won’t make the playoffs, and if Werth goes, we can always get Ichiro who treats fans a bit more nicely when they get in the way.

didnt we run Rod Barajas out of town for his lack of passion? and now werth’s overly passionate reaction is being villified?!?!?! wtf people? when did athletes have to be good people? wasnt the Round mound of rebound an piece garbage and the city loved him? the new PC/”daddy protect me from everything” Philly blows goat

Watrick – it has nothing to do with the words he chose. It’s his decision to yell at a paying customer. I would be just as upset if he didn’t use any foul language at all.

Will – Nice list. Not sure what relevance it has. You have fallen into the trap that 1) the FAN made a mistake and 2) this is all about the choice of words. Both of those points have lead you down a ridiculous path of nonsense. The fan didn’t do anything wrong and he still felt bad about it – point fan. Werth screamed at the dude in front of his kid for no good reason – negative points. The fan wins this little bout, that’s all this is about. If Werth would have jogged over and apologized, I would have felt much better about it. For you guys to justify that type of bullshit on any level is just absurd.

To all the people defending Jayson Werth and to Jayson himself:

Jayson, I would assume your 3rd Grade Son would be devastated if say Joe Bruce ran over during the World Series (assume you are in the stands) and yelled at you to get the &*^&* out of his way.

Here is the deal bud. God gave you grace and talent, and you got lucky to be playing MLB for a living. You owe it to that kid, to apologize to that dad and send him some signed baseballs, etc.

Be a bigger man – the Schofield way!

I would just like to announce to everyone that hates Jayson Werth, you should burn your tickets in protest. I’ll host the first burning, right out front of my house tonight. You get a free beer if it’s down the right field line. I’ll be collecting tickets starting at 5:30

“Jayson, I would assume your 3rd Grade Son would be devastated if say Joe Bruce ran over during the World Series (assume you are in the stands) and yelled at you to get the &*^&* out of his way.”

Jayson on cares about weed and women… get it right!

“Here is the deal bud. God gave you grace and talent, and you got lucky to be playing MLB for a living.”

god didnt give him anything it was genetic luck of the draw with years of hard work and sacrifice to get where he is.

“You owe it to that kid, to apologize to that dad and send him some signed baseballs, etc.”

he doesn’t’ owe the dad, kid or any of us an apology. he is ball player, he is paid to play baseball not appease the rubes

In my day, players took steroids, called them special vitamins, and then drove around drunk.
In my day, Major League was a great film.
In my day, fans that made a move to catch a ball along the foul line were thrown out of the stadium.
My day wasn’t that long ago…

@Scott, I’m sure Shane used vulgar language. I mean, he did in the dugout when Jimmy got a big hit…

Really, I think you guys are debating this waaaaaay too much. People are going in loops over this. Comments stopped being original in thought about 200 posts ago. You’ve all said your piece. You’re not going to convince the other party that you’re right, or wrong. Seriously people, enough is enough.

@Eric

dude he didn’t assault the kid or the dad, he yelled at him for getting of the way. Barkley spit is a fans face and was like so… like a man should

that dad would be a better right fielder than dumbass worth. at least he can catch a baseball. if werth really wanted that ball he would have cought it. the dad just wanted it more. and thats the type of player i want in my outfielder. that play last night just goes to show how werth is treating this season and thats why the phillies are in 3rd

the phillies suck dick anyways, it doesn’t matter about a fly ball…..good job to the fan!!!!

jayson werth has no respect for the game, the fans, or this team. TRADE HIS ASS NOW!!! I HATE WERTH!!! I HOPE HE GETS HIT BY A CAR AFTER THE GAME FOR TELLING THAT KID TO FUCK OFF!!!!!

@ Eric

“…Jason is the baseball player, he should know the rules that when a ball is in the stands it’s fair game. I have been to many a ball game and when a foul ball is hit, just like a player you stare up at it and see if it’s going to land by you. At the very least, Jason should have been yelling, ” I got it !!” That’s what they do on the field because they know everyone is looking up at the ball…”

wow, i really feel sorry for you now

Jordan? You hope a father of two dies in a car accident after yelling at a guy? Dear god, I hope you’re not serious.

Wow, show some class. I thought making millions of dollars a year would also require you to show some self control. I’m gonna go to work tomorrow and curse out a customer, then say I should get a raise like Jayson Werth. Yeah, I’m sure that’ll go over great.

Ghost – that wasn’t even my post you’re responding to. I do like the fake Eric though.

When I was young, players knew respect!! Now they are a buncha hoodlems!… ; )

didnt Juan Marichal attack a pitcher with a bat and club him in the head?

@Phan Stuck in nyc

i love u

how many people here would lose their jobs if they yelled at a customer for something, even if its the customers fault? I understand werth’s frustration, but rule #1 do not bite the hand that feeds you. Wouldnt it have been awesome if the same thing happened but afterwards werth tells the fans and the kid…”Don’t worry kid, we’re still gonna win this one” and then win it.

mark, you set such a nice example all by yourself.

some of you guys are stone cold hypocrites

LA’s Liver, Tony, (Name), Watrick, Don, Dubester, Nikita, Bobby D, Will, Phan in NYC and anyone else that I missed… glad to see the old breed is still alive and well, albeit slowly being supplanted new breed of atmosphere-craving, wave-starting, prematurely-evacuating hug-it-out types with a terminal case of Sand-in-the-Vajayjay.

Phan in NYC – much love for getting my back and much props for reviewing the whole Phightins Civil War and then jumping in and getting your hands dirty – your father taught you well. I apologize for referring to you as “brother” – didn’t know you were a girl. Still wasn’t sure even after the “Boobs” comment, in fact… let’s face facts, the average male CBP patron has a cup size of at least B….

I’ve never really liked that WERTHLESS asshole, I would have thrown the ball right in his face.
