Congratulations to the Phillies on winning the World Series. You earned it. I still hate you, but you earned it.
The Phillies' obsession with publicly mocking the Mets has hit an all time high. First, there was the Shane Victorino/Jose Reyes home run celebration thing. Next, Phillies GM Pat Gillick bizarrely claimed the Phillies success was aided by the fact everyone in the NL East hates the Mets' guts. Now we have Phillies announcer Harry Kalas publicly dissing the Mets. Bart Hubbuch from the New York Post writes:
"Longtime Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas taunted the Mets during the on-field ceremony at Citizens Bank Park tonight after Philadelphia's 4-3 win over Tampa Bay in Game 5, screaming, "See ya, New York!" as part of a fan tribute shown on the Jumbotron."
Give me a break. I'd expect this from a 12 year-old who just won the town little league championship, not from a 72 year-old man who's been in baseball for decades. Not even at his most ridiculous would I expect this from even Keith Hernandez. Whatever. You stay classy Philadelphia!!
