They're very close to Yankee fans as far as live crowds. I've seen some really pathetic crowds (although Boston is sinking by booing Drew before he steps into the box. Nice to see he's FINALLY coming on). He's hit .342 in September and honestly, he's always been an avg guy (only 1 30 homer season in his career) and he's got 4 HRs and 18 RBIs in September.

I've ragged on JD Drew a lot, but if he comes on in October and stays hots, then I hope Boston fans have enough pride to cheer him (they seemed to calm down a bit since Varitek literally plead to fans to stop booing him all the time).

Philly fans just bug the fuck out of me. For whatever reason, Eagles fans aren't nearly as bad as Phillies fans. Phillies fans have this sense of blind accomplishment that they think they have, but doesn't really exist. They're essentially Yankee fans without the rings which means they're a bunch of cock suckers (For the record, due to their lack of accomplishment, modern Yankee fans have absolutely no reason to act smug to anyone).

So if you're a Phillies fan, please, wait till you actually win a world series and as far as monumental collapses go, don't forget when you guys blew a 6.5 game lead with 12 to play WITH a 7 game home stand. Not only that, but you had lost the division before the final two days. So you essentially blew a 6.5 game lead in 10 games, 7 of which started at home. Or perhaps I could bring up the World Series against Toronto?

This Mets team was destined for trouble. They had no pitching and while it's true no one could predict Reyes going on 60 point avg slide (I believe he finished at like .278 for the season when in mid august he was at or above .330), they had NO pitching and they were old. I know plenty of people who weren't surprised by their collapse (myself included).

Boston's was a bit different because I truly believe they've been in cruise control since late June. Once they finally had to win games, they turned it on and won 7 of 10 down the stretch. That's very dangerous, but now it looks Francona is a genius (which he shouldn't because he nearly blew the fucking division, but we won so I'll let it slide) with giving Manny the month off that he really didn't need and resting our starters.

So, fuck Phillies fans and let's enjoy the playoffs. Predictions anyone?
