Mets Fans/Phillies Fans

We all know if you're a Mets fan you hate the Phillies. Well That got me to thinking. Do you dislike the Phillies fans, or just the Phillies?  As for me I just dislike the Phillies. In a lot of ways  Phillies fans are just like Mets fans accept for rooting for the Phillies. I mean Phillies fans are just as critical and hard on their team as Mets fans are. Any player knows if they play for either of these teams they better perform or they'll be booed. The Phillies fans have been through all of the hardships just like the Mets fans. Now you could say that about any team, but I see a difference. I mean let's take the Pirates for instance. Their fans expect them to lose, so they aren't near as hard on them or themselves as we would be. I really think Mets and Phillies fans take losses harder then most fans of their team  do. Discounting the Yankees, Red Sox and Cubs fans. I don't know I kinda drifted into 2 different topics there. Anyways what's your take?

Screw the Phillies and their fans.

Maybe

Mets and Phillie fans are cut from a similar mold, so we naturally dislike each other. I must admit that while I hate the Braves and Phillies. I’ve never met a Braves fan that I hated, but I can’t say the same about Phillie fans.

Braves fans

I put Braves fans in a total different class. Atlanta ain’t much of a sports town if you ask me.

True

They are unpassionate losers. Maybe thats why I don’t hate them.

The Fans

I like teams that are all rivals of Philly teams. Most fans can be civilized but at the same time most fans are loud, annoying, and put their teams that haven’t won championships since a decade before I was born on a pedestal.

Phillies fans

I lived in Philly for about 10 years (just moved last year) and, let me tell you, I can’t STAND their fans. First of all, they’re giant bandwagoners. No one gives a rat’s ASS about the Phillies if they’re not winning. Second of all, most of them know NOTHING about baseball. They just, as bandwagoners do, want to back a winner. Hate them with a passion.

THE NEW FACE OF THE METS...ENTHUSIASM!!  

I don't have too much to add gang. I think the picture speaks for itself. I'm not too much of a stats geek, I just go off of what I see from the players and the Win / Loss column. This pic was taken from Thursday's phenomenal game against the hated Phillies! I can't remember the last time David Wright got this excited about scoring a run or making a play. It really feels good to see the entire team enjoying a win. The team desperately needed this. I NEEDED THIS from David Wright. It just gives me goose bumps.
