		<description><![CDATA[Yes, by stating the absolutely preposterous belief that an opposing player might have batteries thrown at him by Philadelphia fans. Can you imagine, inventing such a scenario? It&#039;s never, ever happened. And it&#039;s certainly never been encouraged by the Philadelphia media.

Opposing players are welcomed as liberators.]]></description>

A little late, but, Craig, to answer your comment from another post that said &#039;fans inexplicably booed Harper,&#039; he literally asked to be booed. There really weren&#039;t that many boos, though. Sounded like fans who knew of his comments fulfilled his request.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, nothing happened last night, so good for the fans, teams, players.  But that extra security guard was hired the second Harper said his battery quote prior to the game.  It is not Harper&#039;s fault or anything, but he is a public figure.   Although, if something did happen, it would help him, the Nat&#039;s, for whatever they are trying to accomplish this season, with the whole natitude stuff.  It just seems that they are trying to force a rivalry, I am just used to when it happens naturally.]]></description>
