Hey Philly, booing Adam Eaton and his ring? Below the belt

By 'Duk

When it comes to Philly fans, one of the things they always like to tell you is that the reputation they've earned as loutish thugs is just a bum rap assigned by lazy media who like to fall back on old stereotypes.

And, over time, they've made so many cases about why it was OK to throw snowballs at Santa Claus and why Jimmy Rollins deserved to be booed after he called Philadelphians front runners, that I started to get a little case of the old Stockholm Syndrome. Maybe their consistent defense of "Hey, we have bad apples just like everyone else" was ringing true.

But booing ex-pitcher Adam Eaton during Wednesday's World Series ring ceremony which was held before an impossible and incredible 12-11 sweep-avoiding comeback win over the Braves?

Well, inch me back closer to the side which just got more ammo for its anti-Philly fans arsenal.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure many of the fans were probably booing in a tongue-in-cheek, "you-want-Philly-we'll-show-you-Philly" type manner. And I'm not saying they should have greeted him with a large ovation, not after he went 14-18 with a 6.10 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over two seasons with the Phillies and not after he was left off last year's playoff roster and released before this year.

But ring ceremonies tend to be a happy time and you clap for everyone — no matter how small the contribution — from Ryan Howard to the traveling secretary to So Taguchi.

Yeah, Adam Eaton wasn't very good, he won't be good with his new team (the Orioles) and the Phillies still owe him $9 million. But that isn't the point. The Phillies WON the World Series, this guy ultimately didn't do anything to mess it up, and on World Series ring day, everyone earns absolution — and at least a polite golf clap during ring retrieval.

Look, we all know that Philly fans don't do this type of thing often.

On Wednesday, it showed.
i dont know any other city where i dislike the fans so much

I dislike alot of fans from east coast cities to be truthful. Their entire "holier then thou" attitude pisses me off the most, its like they think the world stops on the western border of Pennsylvania or something.

Please, a lot of the Seachicken, Frisco, Diego, Dallas, Denver, etc. football fans that I have met are mostly straight up bitches! Of course you'll always have the exceptions. For example, I've went up in Qwest Field Stadium with my terrible towel waving and none of the fans could say shit about it to my face. They always have some little cowardly commented after they pass and disappear into the crowd. At least Pittsburgh, Philly, New York, Baltimore, etc. fans have enough passion for their team to not let rival fans try and take over. I've seen away teams take over stadiums west of Pennsylvania, just like us Steelers fans took over Qwest, lol! Also, not every single Oakland fan, but most of them that I've met are straight up dirt bags that don't know a lick about football! WWE watching, Trailer Park Okie Booger Eaters!!!

so you are saying with that statement in bold up there that the only true fans reside on the east coast? thats what it looks like to me.

every team has some bitch ass fans, some have more then others but to sit here and say true fans only come from the east coast is fuckin' asinine man.

your thought process just strengthens my original post when i said fans from teams on the east coast just believe the world revolves around them and everyone else and their teams are beneath them.

the steelers i would say have the most fans spread throughout the country, the cowboys are another team with fans everywhere. so to say seeing the steelers take over qwest field is something amazing isn't much of an accomplishment really. you fuckin' guys are everywhere just like cowboy and raider fans are everywhere too....lol


ps. most raider fans are douchebags, that much i can agree with you on.

Um it isn't hard to take over stadiums when Steeler fans are all over the country. And the Seahawks and Steelers aren't exactly a rivalry.

People on the East Coast in general have these feelings. Thats why when they come to your hometown stadiums you should bank on them. Just yesterday I bitched out a Red Sox fan at the Giants game because he made some joke about how the Giants suck. I slapped a kid I met in Baltimore who was a Yankees fan and said SF is only gays. When I was 19 I pissed in a Yankee fans hat.

East Coast people have smug personalities. They think they are the shit. They tend to forget that the rest of the nation focuses its attention elsewhere, and the way they compensate for that is by being in general the nation's biggest Douchebag's and most annoying sports fans. Thats why its your job as a fan to punk them and beat the shit out of them. West Coast cities are just like everywhere else. Its just fun to sit on the other side of the Mississipi and act like you aren't living in a California generation for East Coast children.

Said with a true west coast bias. You're so clouded you probably don't even understand how much of a hypocrit you sound like.

Do you have any examples to support why we have smug personalities and why you dont?

Why we think we're the shit and you dont?

Can you really back up that "the rest of the nation" focuses their attention elsewhere? (That was just a retarded statement).

Can you back up that people on the east coast are the nation's biggest douchbags?

Doesn't telling people that its their job to punk people from the East coast make you look like a smug, douchebag bitch?


Stop talking out of your ass man.

Then you are in denial! That's sad if the only thing they are throwing is peanuts, lol. 2003 was the last time Pittsburgh played up in Seattle and I was there! Unfortunately it was a bad season with Maddox at QB, but we still barely lost. Even though the Steelers were on the losing end, our fans still made the most noise! I've walked right through the Tailgaters decked out in Steelers attire and all the seachicken fans were fully sugarcoated!

Also, I've been to other games up there since that game and I've seen other away teams fans fill up a big part of the stadium. Even the fuckin' 49ers fans were deep during their losing seasons up there, lol!

Wanna tell me what I said or did that made me a hypocrite? I said absolutely nothing about the west coast whatsoever. I'm fully aware I have an east coast bias. That's why I try not to talk out of my ass.

LMAO - You just ICED me. I got no comeback for that. I'm just gonna go ahead and give you props.


On a real point though...look at who won the past 9 Superbowls. The East coast.

Big difference between being biased and just seeing things for how they are.

We're all entitled to our own opinions. Dont forget the term "East Coast Bias" came first.

Do you have any examples to support why we have smug personalities and why you dont?
I thought having a Red Sox fan talkin some schmack right out in front of the Giants park and a Yankees fan talking about how SF is full of gays is pretty smug and ingorant behavior but I suppose I could have given a bit more insight to the conversation.

Why we think we're the shit and you dont?
I never sad I wasn't the shit. In fact I am the shit. And I dont think I'm the shit other people tell me I'm the shit.

Can you really back up that "the rest of the nation" focuses their attention elsewhere?
The rest of the nation focuses their attention on the rest of the nation and I'll leave it at that.



Can you back up that people on the east coast are the nation's biggest douchbags?
I can say from my empirical experience people I've met on the East Coast are the nations biggest douchebags. I'm sure people could say the same out West but we didn't invent the salmon La Coste popped collar polo either.

Doesn't telling people that its their job to punk people from the East coast make you look like a smug, douchebag bitch?
No not really. Action speaks louder than words. There's a difference between being a loyal fan and being a smug, douchebag bitch. There are fans from all over that visit another teams stadium and are respectful. Then there are people who come and wear shirts putting down the other team or other teams players, are drunk, loud and obnoxious, are rude to neighboring fans and young children and in all honesty have probably never gotten stomped out in real life. So if you see a Yankees fan sitting in your section talking about what a piss-ant town San Francisco is and how New York is the greatest city in the world and there's no fans on the West Coast and blah blah blah, I would advice to the Siccness to punk that man and piss in his hat.

BTW, I have had NO problems with any fans of Philadephia ever. In my interactions with Phillies and Eagles fans they are very respectful and happy to be visiting another ballpark to watch an event.


Stop talking out of your ass man.
I don't think anything I said came anywhere else but from my heart man! But what I did say was definitely meant to incite responses like this! Don't take it too personal. Its the Siccness.

I appreciate your cool response. I rarely take stuff to heart, but this struck a nerve.

Sounds to me like you got more of a problem with people from NY and Boston.

All I'm trying to say is that the East got assholes and cool people. Same with the West. I hope nobody here would want to generalize and say an entire half of the country deserves to get punked and stomped.

My cousin from San Francisco always comes out to Pittsburgh and goes "Pittsburgh people are this and that, this isn't a real city, you gotta come to the Bay, blah blah blah." You got 'em, we got 'em.

I agree. I guess it is more of an NY/Boston thing from my experience. To be honest I've never had much problems with Pitt either. In fact I hang out at a couple of the Steelers bars up here and this sandwich spot ran by some Pitt natives and we seem to make good sports conversation. I guess we got a lot in common with a historically dominant football team, a well-liked but not as dominant baseball team, and Barry Bonds.

I agree that shit is weak when people start talking down on a City and I urge you to piss in your cousins hat. Its cool to be like "Well in SF its like this" but not "Your city sucks come to SF its like this."

Most people from Pitt...I wouldn't call them East coast people. They def don't have that NY attitude or the Philly attitude. We are mainly poor and uneducated and pretty hardworking and humble. People still have mullets and stonewashed jeans and rock their Starter jackets. Not a lot of culture or good weather or architecture or anything like that. But very, very good, kind people.

The only things we really have are Pitt basketball, Steelers, and Penguins. Its strange. You can walk down the street in April and see about 60% of people in the city wearing black and gold. You can find a 55 year old woman working at a post office and have a full out conversation over whether we should have let go of Joey Porter, and the woman will actually talk about the difference between a 3-4 and a 4-3.

People from Pitt have huge problems with people from Philly. I went to the past two Eagles/Steelers games and shit gets nuts. College kids get in fist fights probably on a daily basis, even in the offseasons.

Next time I see my cousin is gonna be next month in Philly. Its his 30th b-day, and we're gonna be on neutral ground. I'm gonna piss in his hat and tell him some dude from SF told me to!
