And seriously, you can't complain about the Craig pitch without sounding like a pussy; it's baseball, pure and simple. The pitcher was moving him off the plate and fans EVERYWHERE respond to that with a cheer. So you and the rest of the Cards fans need to get off your soapbox and kiss the Phillies feet for just allowing you to have a postseason to remember.

This has nothing to do with the Phillies as an organization, which is flush with class, professional players and management, and everything to do with a huge chunk of their fans, who are the largest group of miscreants in American sports.
I don't know why, but Philly sports seems to be an accretion disc for the most detestable scumbags to sully the inside of a sports venue.
If you need to have a jail and a courtroom in the bowels of your stadium, you've got a ****ing problem, and it's not the opposing fans pointing it out.
