Things Philly fans consider to be trolling of Philly fans:

Any comment about the Phillies
Any comment not about the Phillies

I think that pretty much covers it.

Trolling Phillies fans is certainly an old stand by as they’ve been relevant. However, trolling Nats fans is a new found hobby because until last year, they didn’t have much to cheer for and were very quiet…no one even knew such thing as a Nats fan even existed until last season.

I’m guessing the only sellout in Atlanta this year will be the home opener. Meanwhile, the Phils/Nats games will be sellouts in DC in large part because of Phillies fans.

Putting a period in the middle of a sentence makes. It very difficult to figure out what you’re trying to say.

No one in Philly cares what picture that dumbass. Has Maybe he should just have a picture of himself since he is supposed to be objective

Also….how would the Braves get Bourn back? They may have jumped too soon on Upton, but he is younger and one can think the Trop limits him offensively. Also, Chris Johnson does suck and Prado is good, but Johnson/Justin Upton will be around a lot longer than Prado…

I find it kind of amusing that Rosenthal pays attention and interacts with the fan bases. Makes him a more likable media-type. In this anonymous-on-the-internet world we’re becoming, it’s nice to see some personalization.

I see Craig working. It’s the day after the Super Bowl, baseball doesn’t stir for another week. So when things are this slow you have to go to the old stand by: Troll Phillie & Nats fanbases.

I’m good with that.

Craig definitely subscribes to the quantity over quality when it comes to blogging.

But he still hasn’t mentioned in a story that Michael Bourn, Chipper Jones, and Martin Prado had a higher combined fWar and War in 2012 then Justin Upton, B.J. Upton, and Chris Johnson.

Why the hell is Chipper Jones in there? Did the Braves decide to force Chipper to retire? Are they sending him upstate to play with rabbits (Colbert)? Also, good use on one year of WAR to determine a player’s ability.

The only thing dumber than caring about Ken Rosenthal’s Twitter avatar is writing a post about it on national sports site.

At least us Phillies fans know who we are. Craig claims he is never bias when it comes to the on field play of the Braves. But he still hasn’t mentioned in a story that Michael Bourn, Chipper Jones, and Martin Prado had a higher combined fWar and War in 2012 then Justin Upton, B.J. Upton, and Chris Johnson. Where is the story questioning if the Braves are actually better after these moves in 2013 then they were in 2012? You had no problem pointing out that the Mariners didnt really get any better after their trade but you do have a problem doing it with the Braves. But your never bias bc you have called out Fredi Gonzalez a few teams.

I thought the comments would be along the lines of demanding that if you mention anything bad about the Phillies fanbase, you then have to say something bad about all the other teams’ fanbases.

Is that what they are, the three hundred people that show up to Braves Home games, fans?

I always thought they were wayward carnies.
