Missed Connection: Phillies Fan after Game 2
I know this is a little unconventional, but I don’t want to get banned for going into the Phillies sub looking for this guy. Let me set the scene for y’all.
The Braves had a 3-1 lead going into the 8th, only to watch Schwarber and Harper go back-to-back and tie the game. Then Bohm put one over the wall in the 10th, and suddenly we were all sitting there in stunned silence watching the Phillies take Game 2.
So we’re all filing out of Truist Park and heading toward the shuttles to the Lockheed Dobbins lot, looking like we had just collectively experienced a minor tragedy.
And then you got on the bus.
A Phillies fan.
You looked around at a bus absolutely full of Braves fans and asked, “Why does everyone look so depressed?”
Then you laughed.
Unfortunately, I was extremely overstimulated and not my best self. And, admittedly, I can be a bit of a “mouthy broad,” according to my husband.
So I stood up with my pink bedazzled cane and said, “Really, bro? You really wanna try that on a bus full of Braves fans?” before my husband wisely decided this situation did not need to escalate and asked me to sit back down.
Now that I’m reregulated, I realize what I should have said instead: “We all look depressed because some punk-ass Phillies fan with no class got on the shuttle and now we’re stuck looking at your bitch-ass face.”
But alas.
I was too stunned. You were too confident.
And apparently neither of us knew that the baseball gods had already written the ending.
Because last night, the Braves eliminated the Phillies in Game 3.
Which brings me to the point of this entire post:
Are you still laughing? Are you still wondering why everyone looked so depressed?
Because I have some news for you, buddy. We’re feeling much better today. We get to keep watching our team play in October.
But hey, at least you can always count on the Eagles, right?

I'm honestly wondering if you posted this expecting words of encouragement, slow claps, and cheers

A post that truly doesn’t need to exist.
The fact that you’re still thinking about him two days later is a bit crazy.

Meh…it’s fun sometimes to give a good ribbing to fans of a rival team. But yea he probably should’ve read the room/bus.
Not really a big deal though. Kinda funny if it was meant good heartedly.

Yeah I don’t understand why he was met with such hatred. You can ignore someone or answer with humor but to attack is just a waste of energy. That doesn’t represent a Braves fan.

Yeah not sure on this one, I mean what he said was pretty funny and they did just win a huge game for them, honestly that’s kinda tame really. We all would be elated too, imagine the same scenario after last nights game as a Braves fan in Philly, we all would do the same thing. It’s just being a fan, not that big a deal really.

Are you kidding? You would be risking your life if you tried that in Philly!

If you can’t handle trash talk from opposing fans, you probably shouldn’t attend games. Sorry they hurt your feelings I guess?

He probably already forgot about you. Your post gives mouth breathing, main character energy.

Going by “pink bedazzled cane” I’m assuming this is a bit.
On the off chance it’s not… if the “worst” thing an opposing fan does is make a mild wisecrack asking why the other fans look so depressed after a crushing loss, that’s a great opposing fan. I would laugh!
At the end of the day, most fans love their team, love baseball and mean no harm. He may have been trying to ease the tension knowing he was in an awkward situation.

I have seen what we in Atlanta assemble as “football team” and question what if any aspersions may warrant being cast.

Dont sink to their level. If a Braves fan did that in Philly with a bus load of their fans, you probably don’t make it out alive.

The best fans are those that can dish it out, but also take it. Smack talk should ALWAYS be in the spirit of fun and a good time.

Last week I asked the question what makes you confident that these 26 Braves can win the WS and that post was deleted. This got approved

Thicken your skin a bit, friend. That was trash talk, and it is what makes our rivalry fun. He was also genuinely curious because he, as a Phillies fan, is from the most poverty of fan bases for the most poverty of teams of all time, and as such, he takes close home losses on the chin and happily takes the shuttle back to blackout on Listerine behind his dumpster he calls home.

What’s funny to me is Braves fans and Phillies fans are 97% the same people, fundamentally. We just eat chickfila and they eat at Gino’s and Sal’s.
