Night 1 of this Burns documentary was better. Too red sox centric tonight. that 2004 team was full of dbags...pedro, schilling, millar, damon, ortiz, manny. god I hate the red sox. THe 9/11 stuff was cool, I wish they would have shown more of that. Shocked that they didn't even include the piazza HR. The Ichiro stuff was cool too, had no idea he was a natural RH hitter. What a beast.

you should check out " nine innings from ground zero: the 2001 world series" if you haven't already seen it. really great documentary bout nyc and the aftermath of 9/11 and how much people rallied around baseball here. i cried when pizza hit that home run. probably the only time i'll every cry for a home run .

seeing that 9/11 stuff still makes me angry. I went to the first phils game after baseball started back up and I gotta admit I had to fight off tears when the anthem was playing. That was a crazy time, can't believe it was almost 10 years ago.

I will see if I can find that documentary. I gotta go see the Tillman Story too

the nine innings doc is yankees heavy obviously. so it might be boring if you have that much hate for the yankees.

I don't hate the yankees, just ARod and the mets. I don't like the yanks either, but as a phils fan, the yanks are irrelevant to me until the WS.

There are red sox fans everywhere in philly. I just don't understand it. That's why I hate them so much.

It's not just Philly. It's a lot of places. And it's gay. I LOVE going to Phils games and asking these die hards where they came all the way down from? Bucks county? There's just as many Yankee bandwagons down here as well. Walk around South Philly some time. Almost like being Italian and being a Yankee fan is like spaghetti and meatballs.

I'm telling you in 2004 if you were in philly and you walked into a bar during the baseball playoffs you would have thought you were in boston. I still get mad thinking about this. CBP has been the same way since it opened...it's at least half boston fans.

It is, but Fenway Park, Citi Field, PNC Park & Nationals Park are all at least half Phillies fans. PNC Park was about 80% Phils fans in the game I went to on July 1. The entire rows in front of me, behind me, and next to me were 100% Phils fans.

There was plenty of Boston pukefest in the first 9 innings of Baseball as well. Like no other team in baseball has suffered.

I liked referring to the 2009 Yankees' "lavishly paid free agents."

I don't know about Fenway. Maybe there are a lot of Phillies fans because it is such a rare occasion but Fenway is not a place where there are typically a whole lot of opposing teams fans.

Did I hear my name?

Cliffy's right, in my nearly 3 decades of attending hundreds of games at Fenway, I have never once felt there was a measurable amount of opposing teams fans. We don't take too kindly to outsiders here. There are always drunk Yankee fans who make an ass of themselves, usually in the bleachers or sections 1-3, but they are quickly beaten up by Officer Sully and escorted from the premises.

I looked for some evidence, but couldn't find any. Sox/Phillies isn't much of a rivalry, so when I went in 1999 I was sort of a novelty. I still say there are decent pockets of Phils fans in Fenway.

went to fenway for a phils game back in...04 or 05. there certainly was a hefty contingent of phils fans at that game and throughout the city. i would say a quarter of the place was filled with phils fans. and this was obviously before the phils run these past few years. so that made it more impressive. though there were plenty of eagles chants back in those days

one thing that sucks about fenway: no beer men roaming the aisles. they only serve sodas there. at least that is the way it was back then. we had more fun than one should have demanding the soda man fetch us beers all game.

so long cito!! ... you were all class all the time ... it's why you'll always be loved in toronto!! ...

first african-american manager to win the world series - no one will ever take that away from you!! ...

this is some game between the Padres and Cubs right now.
