As I mentioned elsewhere, I never really cared about sports that much, but after being subjected to 'Yankees suck' all weekend, upon hearing the Yankees won game 3 and 4 all I can think is hah - suck on that :twisted:

See..Now youre stooping to low levels...not necessary...be better than that..

Like others have said there are a few bad apples in every city, but the group mentality over the weekend just got ridiculous. I got yelled at for wearing a Free Tibet T-shirt with NYC on it, of course he yelled after he walked by. My friend got yelled at for wearing a Blue Phillies hat!! That moron needed to learn a few more letters then AEGLS...

I could understand the chanting between songs when egged on by Ed, even during encore breaks, hell be proud! But seriously come up with something other then "<Blank> Sucks", try rooting FOR your team. That positive vibe can do wonders!!

Funny how no updates were given once NY took the lead on Saturday!! But then again that could have gotten ugly if they did, and those same idiots that can't handle being in the WS would have escalated their idiocy even more by losing!! It is a shame a select few left a bad impression of a great city.

Just curious but why exactly would the band want to turn the crowd sour? The majority of the people there were from Philadelphia..thats why there were no updates..makes perfect sense. But I agree with your other points

What a great show last night just awesome, I just wish that everytime the music stopped and ed talked that the people around me didn't yell yankees suck so no one could hear anything. I shook hands with a guy who was a yankees fan so unfortunetly me and my gf next to me had to put up with me getting told "I hope you die in a car crash on the way home" to having stuff thrown at me all night, including beer and food and stuff. Thanks alot, it's a concert not a baseball game I just don't get it. She was petrified that I was going to get attacked on the way out. I never said one word the entire night to anyone. Is there really a need for that? :shock:

Sorry that happened to you. Would have freaked me out too. I gotta say the whole baseball thing REALLY got on my nerves. Fine that people are excited about the world series, but some people in my section were even yelling shit out during the songs. I was there to listen to the music...not to hear which team sucks. Wear your jersey...chant between songs...but not everyone around you wants to hear you yell out for your team over Ed's singing. I don't go to games and yell out "Let's go Pearl Jam." Annoying...but not as bad as what you had to deal with.

friday afternoon my girlfriend and i walked around philly, got some food & got some drinks. i was wearing my yankee hat and not one person said anything to me. the two bars we stopped at, the bartenders were actually pretty cool and i had good sports/baseball convos with them.

as far as the concert, i didn't wear any yankee gear simply because i did not want to be put into a situation that i didnt want to be put in at a pearl jam concert. i dont want to get thrown out mid show because i have to punch some fucker in the jaw because he spilt beer on me or my girlfriend. i dont need that shit... we are all adults and ultimately we are all there to enjoy the music.

i took a few piss breaks before pearl jam went on and each time the men's room was packed, some guys just hanging around looking to pick fights with anyone that was wearing anything yankees.
