Knowing that the cards are gonna get the opening series win, you idiots send one of your own out on the field in a sacraficial effort, only to get tazed by secruity, and get FREESED by the Cards in the worlds largest courtroom in America....or did they only do that at the Vet?
Be glad to set the record straight for ya George!! 1st meeting of the year between the 2 best NL teams. In watching the game, you could tell from the crowd, and the players both sides wanted it real bad. After Cards scored 5 runs in the 7th, and Philly went quickly in the bottom half, some Philly fan (probably after vomitting on someone), lept onto the field and ended up having to be Tazered to stop him. Now all the lefty's on TV this morning are really wondering if that was really necessary. Sure, let's just let him run around all night, let the Cards pitcher's arm get cold and stiff, and we'll see if that can help our team. :roll: Anyway, getting FREESED is about our HOT new player....the guy is a vacuum at 3rd, and is hitting .792....or something like that. Anyway, do they still have a Jail at this Philly stadium?...or did that go away with the Vet?
That's pretty good form being shown from that Cop. Notice how he points the finger of his left hand towards the ground for balance?
I heard something on radio this morning that I agree with. The idiot got much more publicity that he deserved because of the tasing and the ensuing media ruckus. For that reason alone, I disagree with the tasing. I'm no lefty, but I don't think it was necessary. I'd rather see a couple of shots to the kid's jaw at the bottom of the pile.
I would have a harder time tasering an animal than a Philly fan. They are lower than animals. Hook 'em up. Hit the juice. Watch 'em dance. 8)
There have been incidents where tasing a person caused a cardiac event and the individual died. While a young kid like that is unlikely to have that happen, still how horrible would it be if that did happen.
I hear ya Doc and Sid.....however....(pause for effect)....Don't go onto the field, if you do.....well, we have a saying for it in the Marines....if you can't take a Joke, then you better not be one. Yeah, I can see the health concern re the taser...but, you never know what this flake could've been up to either.....fire for effect I always say... :wink:
I have a list of pictures that I call "Just before the pain". I'll have to add that one to the list! 8)
Would you prefer a couple of 38 slugs to the hips? When this country stops thinking about how roughly criminals are treated, there will be fewer criminals. Just my HONEST opinion!
I'm certainly not for coddling criminals, but a stupid kid prank that will happen several times a year in MLB parks, while maybe technically a criminal act is pretty minor in the overall scheme of things.
I read today that the kid called his dad for permission to run onto the field. Here is an excerpt from the ESPN.com news article dated today:
Well maybe the dad should be tased for the idiocy of NOT telling his soon to forget about it. It is thought processes like this in child raising that have led to the criminal coddling we have today.
Why would a kid think this is some once in a lifetime opportunity? As I said earlier, a stupid teenage decision. I do think it's interesting that this is provoking all sorts of investigations, reviews of policy, etc. Should Police be on the field chasing spectators in the first place, shouldn't that be the responsiblity of the Phillies and their stadium security detail? If they'd tazed that chick who used to run on to the field around the majors and kiss a player, they'd have popped her boob implants! Talk about your boobquake event. :wink:
Random comments from the net... 1. Philadelphia Phillies fans If Philadelphia had 10 sports teams, then chances are no other city would crack this list. For years these fans simply used the baseball season to pass the time until it was time to travel to Lehigh University to watch Eagles training camp, but now that the Phillies are champions, there are Phillies jerseys and caps all over the place, more and more McNabb jerseys being replaced by Ryan Howard jerseys. As a Mets fan I have personally had my manhood challenged, my wife and son insulted, food and drinks thrown at me, walked to my seats amid chanting of @$$ hole, and had a grown man tell my children they suck for being Mets fans. I can personally attest to these individuals being vile, bottom-feeding, fickle sports fans. These same people gave the best third baseman ever, their very own Mike Schmidt, a terrible time his entire career, and once threw batteries at J.D. Drew (come to think of it, who wouldn't love to throw batteries at J.D. Drew?). They are simply the worst fanbase in all of sports, period. Philadelphia Eagles This is a fanbase that still talks about pelting Santa Claus with snowballs 30 years after it happened the same way normal people reference World War II or the moon landing. They cheered when Michael Irvin lay on the ground battling paralysis, complain non-stop about making four straight NFC Conference Championship games, and haven’t had a single attractive fan in the stands since 1986. Philadelphia Eagles fans: The only place where simultaneous love-hate for a professional team runs stronger and more volatile than in New York is Philadelphia. Listening to sports talk radio in Philadelphia is like watching an angry mob torching the stadium. Perhaps being starved of any professional championship in the city for the past 24 years has driven them over the edge. Of course, the incident of fans throwing snowballs and booing on Santa Claus deserves mention here, also, as does the court that was built into Veterans Stadium to process violent and unruly fans on the spot. When your stadium needs a judge, that's a bad sign. Worst Philly Sports Fans Moments The Taser-Gate and Puke-a-mon incidents of recent weeks have only added to Philadelphia's national reputation as the city with the nastiest pro-sports fans. Philadelphia sports fans are known for their occasional bad behavior. In April, an agitated fan allegedly puked on five people, including a little girl, on purpose at a Phillies game. Last night, a rowdy teen stopped the Phillies-Cards game by running on the field - only to be met by a cop with a taser. Here is a look back at some other infamous moments. 1. Criminal Court Installed At The Vet Violence during Eagles' games became so bad that Philadelphia installed a court, judge and jail inside Veterans Stadium. 2. Fans Throw Batteries At Dick Allen Phillies fans in the 1960s upset with comments by Dick Allen, the team's first prominent African-American player, threw batteries at him from the stands. Allen wore a batting helmet on the field. 3. Flyers Fans Attack St. Louis Blues In 1972, Flyers fans brawled with the Blues fans and head coach in the stands of the Spectrum. 4. Flyers Fans Boo Sarah Palin Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is heavily booed by Flyers fans when she is asked to drop a ceremonial puck at a game. 5. General Behavior At The 700 Level The notorious 700 Level at Veterans Stadium often was the source of fan violence for three decades. 6. Phillies Fans Fight, Boo At World Series Ring Ceremony Phillies fans boo pitcher Adam Eaton at the ring celebration after they won the World Series, then brawl in Ashburn Alley as the title flag is raised. 7. Fans Boo Donovan McNabb At Draft Eagles fans travel to Manhattan and boo newly drafted quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb and his family still are upset at the incident. 8. Eagles Fans Boo Santa Claus Eagles In 1968, Eagles fans boo and then pelt a man dressed as Santa Claus who was part of a halftime ceremony. Stories vary on the legendary incident. http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/santa/philadelphia.asp In 2003, the same man was asked to appear in the same Santa suit at a Sixers game. He was booed again. 9. Fans Hit Cowboys With Snowballs Eagles fans, including future governor Ed Rendell, pelt the Dallas Cowboys and coach Jimmy Johnson with snowballs at the Vet. 10. Eagles Fans Cheer Michael Irvin Injury On Oct. 11, 1999, Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin suffered a career-ending neck injury at the Vet. Fans cheered as Irvin was crumpled on the ground. 11. Phillies Fans Pelt Umps With Bottles In 1949, the Phillies are forced to forfeit a game with Giants after fans unleash a 15-minute barrage of glass-bottle throwing. They were upset by a call against Phillies' center fielder Rich Ashburn. 12 Fan Steals The Phantic's Head The Phillie Phanatic's head was stolen during a charity event at the Wachovia Center. After a manhunt, the head was returned and its abductor was charged with theft.
