Since I live in SEPA, what I will say is that fair-weather Philadelphia fans are the worst. The diehards aren't actual jerks, it's the drunk, band-wagon morons that really give Philadelphia sports their label. Every fan base has these morons, but Philly has that "us versus the world" mentality and other fans will tolerate the behavior to an extent.
Also, for me it's Philly all the way. Two things play into that. Bregman and Altuve are still on the roster, and thus are still sour grapes from the garbage can scandal. Number two is that the Astros are like the Dodgers, making the WS lots of times recently, and I can't root for the "juggernaut". Unless of course it was the Nats being that juggernaut.
You kind of hit it on the head. But I think there are many die hard fans who embrace the we are the worst fans in the world because it never goes away. And then becomes a vicious circle. Many wear it with pride. Jon Heyman has an article in the Ny Post today where he writes that the Astros don’t deserve the treatment they will get because it has been 5 years. In the same article he mentions booing Santa Claus which was now almost 60 years ago. LOL. Apparently that irony did not catch him. Of course he also gives Altuve a clean pass for the whole affair because Jose said he did not participate. It’s Heyman I guess.
Looks like rain all night. Will they play? The right thing to do would be to postpone and play the next three days iin CBP and then Saturday and Sunday in Houston if necessary. Of course that will not happen. Maybe they could do a 7-inning doubleheader tomorrow.
