True confession. Shea Stadium, ca. 1980 at a Jets game. Our seats are in the endzone in front of the giant scoreboard. There are no concession stands near the temporary seats but there are beer vendors who come through the stands. Me, I'm six and whining about being thirsty. My Dad, fed up with the whining and having no other options, gives me a sip of his Budweiser. It's gross but it stopped me from whining. Knowing now what it's like to be the father of a whiny child, I don't judge my Dad. Thank God there were no cell phone cameras back then.

Well, hey-- at least he didn't deliberately fall on a child.

I once sued Mr. Met for being so awesome that I grew increasingly depressed with my inferiority.

He arrived at the deposition, gave me a high five, and I've been walking on sunshine ever since.

(H/T to Amazin' Avenue)

First, the meat: as quoted in a Philly Daily News column, Victorino spouts off ill-advisedly about Phil fans' booing.

It's getting late early in these parts, to paraphrase Yogi, or so is the feel. You look to the scoreboard now in hopes that the rest of the division lost, too, hoping to buy another day for a team that more and more appears in need of a complete do-over.

"I'm hearing fans yelling, 'Victorino, you're horrible; you stink,' " the centerfielder said. "Aw, right. Like they forget what happened the last 2 years. That frustrates me even more . . . You hear things like that, it eats at you. I mean Jimmy used that word. I'm not going to use it. But you know what I'm talking about."

"I'm not calling you an idiot. I'm just strongly implying that you are one."

Then, the subtle dessert: Phillies fans react to Victorino's comments. Not quite as fun as it could have been, had they, say, approached Phils fans post-loss... but it's got its mild joys. My favorite? It's either the since-2007 "diehard" or the self-loathing guy at the end who contradicts his girlfriend. (Also of note: nobody's quite cursing him out the way they did Mr. Rollins, eh?)

I guess I'll post this one here. After all, I'm certainly above reposting dubiously-sourced rumors...well, maybe we can make an exception:

Is Jayson Werth having an affair with Chase Utley's wife?




A WATP From: "We Should Be GMs.com" Funny, but I'd like to know who Sucky and Hearing-Imapiredy are...

Phils get: Cliff Lee
Mets get: Jayson Werth
Mariners get: Three useless Mets prospects kind of like Frenchy, Sucky, and Hearing-impairedy.
Why it works: Ooh, a three way. Phils get pitching. Mariners get prospects. Mets get offense. Also, this is the perfect way to sabotage the Mets as Werth can start sleeping with David Wright's...or Jose Reyes'...or, aww crap, they're all gay. This won't work.

How about a long stay in jail and a burly cellmate?

Unless the cell is suspended next to the scoreboard, it won't act as an object lesson for the would-be fieldsprinters in the stadium. That guy in Baltimore was a folk hero of the drunk and stupid by the end of his dance, and you know there were dozens of half-lit-up attendees thinking, "You know, I'm going to try that shit someday."

A coulple of terrifying takeouts by Zeus and Apollo will not only spare the security guards the indignity and the unwanted workout of having to pursue and tackle the merry pranksters, but it will be a terrifying cautionary tale to tens of thousands.

The fanbase ought to take a lesson in class from its heroes... Its fancy, fancy heroes.

(You just know Hamels circles this day on the calendar every year.)

Hey - it's hard to fault a charity fashion show.

If the Mets had something like that, I'd be there....

Oh, I'm not saying they're wrong for doing it.

I'm just saying... it's Jimmy Rollins in velvet.

A far-too-modest proposal.

If she actually says "yes," well... how does she tell that story to people without averting eye contact?

The front page of the Washington Post today had a murderously depressing story of a father continuing to nurse his son, a Braves fan who remains in persistent vegetative state a year later after his friend yelled "Phillies suck!" and a Phillies Phan kicked his head in.

Folks, don't yell about other people's teams sucking. Don't encourage those who do.

And if somebody yells that your team sucks, for God's sake, count to ten.

Jesus. Also reminds me of the adage, "if it hasn't happened after midnight, it's probably not going to happen."
