May 23, 200719 yr The only really bad experience I have ever had with an opposing fan was with a Phillies fan. She sat behind us at a game down here and started being very obnoxious and rude. Then she started to babble some pretty racist stuff. I am pretty sure that not every Phillies fan is this way. But I see a lot of stupidity coming from a lot of them at games down here. So far, I have been to two baseball stadiums. At the Trop, we had a very nice experience. Their fans were very nice to us, asking us questions about our guys. At Turner Field, we have had some guy mess with us, but it wasn't anything major. Others were very nice to us, asking us if we are from Miami. Then again both of these times, we at random games just wearing Marlins stuff. We just happened to be in town and decided to go to a baseball game. We're going back to Turner Field for the Braves series in June. I'll report back on our experience there.
May 24, 200719 yr In our brief histories, wild cards have been lost and won in phillies-marlins serieses. In 2000, the marlins were hanging around until the phillies swept us in 5. In '03 it was a marlins-phillies struggle to win the wild card. In '04 and '05 the same, both teams in the hunt, neither made it, but the games were like playoff games all year. Thats why marlins fans dislike the phillies. The mets have never really competed with us in our years when we're in the hunt and the braves usually win the division, so it isn't neck and neck between them and us. In fact the one time we played the braves in a real meaningful series was 97 NLCS, which we won. So the phillies have been our main rival and as such is why we dislike them. Although I must say I did like some of the early 90s phillies teams with dykstra, morandini, daulton and that bunch
