well, i was responding to ford's accusation that "I love fans of newly succesful teams, they seam to just throw the past away since their team is better in the past 5 years they are clearly the best there has ever been!" i don't think that's true at all about phillies fans -- they're a long-suffering group that's stuck by the most unsuccessful franchise in american sports history, are thoroughly enjoying (and astonished by) this rare run of success, and fully expect things to return to the dark days again at some point.
now, if the accusation is, instead, that philly fans are obnoxious, drunken, hostile, abusive, etc., well, yes, that's absolutely true.
but santa, j.d., and scotty all deserved it.
