May 23, 200719 yr If you think Phillies fans are annoying, you should go see the Marlins play the Mets. Phils fans barely scratch the surface. If you don't want visiting fans to show up, then maybe Marlins fans should start showing up. it only took him 4 posts until he became a troll nice work :thumbup
May 23, 200719 yr Author I'm sure you all do go to the games, and I never said that you didn't. I said that you can't complain about visiting fans when you have 10,000 showing up at Marlins games. How is stating the truth about Marlins attendance being a troll? Am I missing something? I didn't say one thing that should be found insulting.

It's not being a troll, but I'd advise avoiding that topic.
May 23, 200719 yr I'm a Dodger fan and I hate the Phillies. I bet if I was a Seibu Lions fan I would still hate the Phillies. It's just natural I think.
May 23, 200719 yr If you think Phillies fans are annoying, you should go see the Marlins play the Mets. Phils fans barely scratch the surface. If you don't want visiting fans to show up, then maybe Marlins fans should start showing up. Even in 03, when we attracted 30 to 40,000 on weekends the fans of opposing teams are annoying as hell. Gotta join the group here, I hate the Phillies. I actually pretty much hate all of our division rivals. I think it's mostly due to the fact of how annoying their fans are when they are at our stadium. Wait, are there Nats fans down there? I thought those morons had only infiltrated the Mid Atlantic so far. :lol Nah, I barely consider them a rival, didn't even think of them when I wrote that sentence. Although getting swept by them like last time around will help me hate them some more.
May 23, 200719 yr I completely understand hating the teams in your division, and even though I am a huge Eagles fan, I understand anyone's hate for them, but it comes as a surprise to me that Marlins fans would not dislike, but HATE the Phillies. It's like Phillies fans hating the Nationals or something like that. You just compared yourselves to the Nationals...
May 23, 200719 yr A review of the Marlins-Phillies rivalry since I've been following the Marlins: -July 2001: The 5 game sweep in Philadelphia that basically ends the up-and-coming Marlins season. -2002: Philly domination of the Marlins continues headed by Bobby Abreu and Jimmy Rollins. -2003: The Wild Card race. Marlins domination of the Phillies down the stretch. Jeff Conine's catch in Philadelphia in late September. Conine follows up the Catch with a HUGE series against the Phillies a few days later in the final sweep that eliminates the Phillies from play-off contention. -2004: Brawl in Philly. Marlins domination of the Phillies continues. Countless heartbreaking (for Philly) losses (Lowell 3 homer game, Choi BOMB at DS, Benitez comes in in the 8th bases loaded 3-1 count and escapes, etc.). -2005: Marlins dominate Philly early in the season but the tide turns in the last few months. In late Sept. the 9 run, 9th inning at Dolphin Stadium, with D-Train on the mound, on national TV, in the heat of the playoff race. -2006: Phillies dominate (just absolute domination) young Marlins. Phillie attack led by Utley, Rollins and Howard, all three of which look godly against the Marlins. Olsen "I hate Philadelphia" comments. EASILY the biggest rival the Marlins have had since I started following this team on an everyday basis in 2001. I HATE HATE HATE losing to the Phillies.
May 23, 200719 yr I still don't get it. Anyway, why does Olsen hate the Phillies so much? "i HATE pat burrel.. he just pisses me off" You sound like a Phils fan. The only person in Philly that is probably hated more than Burrell is Terrell Owens. I stopped reading right here.... and couldnt believe nobody mentioned that most people hate the Phillies because people hate Philly sports fans. Why do people hate Philly sports fans? They boo everyone including/especially their own guys. Theyre bad fans. Theyre very.... hateable.... You hate Pat Burrell and you probably spend much of your time hating a lot of other Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, 76ers players as well rather than rooting for them.
May 23, 200719 yr I don't know about that PBC. There's some embarrasing pics out there of Billy The Marlin and/or Marlins fans. To get the real flavor of your GENERAL Philly fan you need to see one urinating and vomiting at the same time in your stadium after your team hits a HR. I've seen that.
May 23, 200719 yr Maybe the red in their uniforms just sets us all off kinda like bulls. Anyway, it's fun to hate the phillies.
May 23, 200719 yr To get the real flavor of your GENERAL Philly fan you need to see one urinating and vomiting at the same time in your stadium after your team hits a HR. I've seen that. :lol That statment made my day! Anyway, I would probably need to go to DS during a Philly game to actually get that hatred for Phil fans. I don't know why but I have no actualy hatred toward them. I think it's cause the only Phil fans I have heard from are the ones from the mlb.com message board. That place is so down, eveyrone there keeps predicitng losses and every other topic is a death threat to manuel. You should go there, it makes emo kids look happy. Also, your statement on olsen, that was something from last year. There was an article on it during the end of the year, don't let that bother you too much. He is very hot headed, :lol
May 23, 200719 yr i hate Philly because their got our number i remember last year when we want up their and Philly kick our butt and their alway fight with us for playoff spot like last year

To get the real flavor of your GENERAL Philly fan you need to see one urinating and vomiting at the same time in your stadium after your team hits a HR. I've seen that. I was trying to go easy on the guy. Like you, I've found Phillies fans to be noxious in general. Almost every Phillie fan I have had to sit near at DS they been a loudmouth. Phillies fans are like the little men of the baseball world. Always the loudest, belligerent and picking fights with the biggest guys. But everyone knows, in the end, they and their team are a joke.

That's a good analogy. Very true. No reason to go easy on the guy though. He came here looking for trouble, and he found it.
May 23, 200719 yr Personally I don't really hate the Phillies; I hate the Mets much moro but I started to really dislike the team & fans after that Sept. 2005 game.
May 23, 200719 yr I kind of like Pat Burrell. :lol Well, let me explain why I don't care for the Philadelphia teams (with the exception of the Flyers who are my favorite hockey team). I'm a Redskins fan as well as a Marlins fan. My division rivals include the Eagles and the Phillies, my teams play them often, and get beat by them often, thus the Phillies and the Eagles get on my nerves more than almost any team in their respective league. Let me also add - the Phillies logo is awfully stupid looking. hahha and there mascot is seriously just plane retarded! what is that thing anyway? PHILLIE THE FANATIC?
May 23, 200719 yr I live 90 minutes west of Philly and I hate the ph*cking Phillies...Most of the fans that I have met are not classy, I've had Philly fans try to pick a fistfight with me in front of my dad once at the old Vet. Philadelphia has a reputation for being bad fans. So far, I have found the Orioles fans to be much nicer when the Fish come to their town. They actually will sit and talk baseball with me (even though I have my Florida jersey on). They would ask me Who's that in RF? What young prospects are coming? etc... They were fun to be around.
May 23, 200719 yr Yeah, when I went to CBP in my Fish gear, I was not well met at all. I got a good amount of jeers and taunts. I don't really care, because I'm bigger than most of the people in the ballpark (in the stands at least).
May 23, 200719 yr I don't hate the Phillies, just the Braves and especially the Mets. I'm originally from Cherry Hill, NJ and grew up a Phillies fan. When baseball arrrived in South Florida in 1993, I was 11 years old, and began following the Marlins. That season, whenever Philadelphia was in town, I would go to the games, bringing a cap for each team. Half way through the 5th inning, I would take off my Phillies hat and put on my teal Marlins hat. None of the surrounding fans liked that. I remember one guy telling me that a fan can't root for two teams, but I didn't care. In hindsight, I guess "the switch" was a symbolic gesture of my waning allegiance, and by the next year the Phillies were long forgotten.
May 23, 200719 yr The only reason I hate them is because besides that stretch from 2003-2005 where we went like 20-3 against them, it seems like they always beat us. The 5 game sweep in 2001, 9 run 9th in 2005, etc...
May 23, 200719 yr "the only way you dont hate the phillies is unless you are a phillies fan yourself...there is just no excuse to like em otherwise" How is that? What have the Phillies done to be hated? I mean, I'm a huge Phillies fan from NJ, but this team has been pathetic since 1993, with the exception of the past few seasons. Even recently, there really hasn't been anything unlikeable about them. Wouldn't you guys hate the Braves or the Mets more? I know Phillies fans hate the Braves and Mets much more than the Marlins. It's more of a general dislike for Philadelphia teams by every fan of every sport. When you think about it, that really is true. I for one dislike all the Phillies, Eagles and most of all, the Flyers.
May 23, 200719 yr Im not understanding why there is so much hate for Philly TEAMS , I can understand hating Philly Fans in general , but not the actual teams. How can you hate on them ? Like Philfan said they havent won a championship in any major pro sport in 20 years. hating the Phils to me is kinda like hating the Pirates , you want the fish to kill them in a series but you still feel bad for them because they cant get their sh*t together. I actually think Philsfan has been pretty nice after all these bad answers given by our forum , and yet no one has answered his initial question? Why does Olsen hate the phils so much? I honestly cant answer that but i will give my best guestimation, Olsen hates everyone!!! especially when he doesnt get his way. He is a fierce competitor (sp?) and his mouth consistantly gets him into trouble , I for one love this about that guy for one reason , Its entertaining.
