Biggest series of the season, bats are cold, but Zack Wheeler is on the bump to righten the ship. Instead the Phillies decide Saturday is the right moment to let a Mets fan throw the first pitch. I’ve never seen an opposing team’s fan throw a first pitch and not just any old Mets fan either, but the leader of the 7Line, the biggest Mets fan group in the country:

They let the enemy waltz in through the front gate without even needing the Trojan Horse:
The Phillies are just so goddamn easy to hate. They’re all scum. Even the people in that shit city.

@BelieveItAmigo I’m overly excited for that trip but extremely concerned considering the Philly fans are barbarians and second rate humans

I can’t even get on Wheeler for giving up four and not getting through the sixth inning. You fucked him the minute you pulled this move. Not even a Cy Young pitcher could work with that much bad juju surrounding him.
Who is calling the shots down there? Is this John Middleton sending a message to the fans for not packing the ballpark this weekend? Nothing else makes sense. Because if this was planned how did it get approved all the way up the chain of command? Someone on Twitter said it happened because a Mets fan group bought 1,500 tickets. I don’t give a fuck if they bought 15,000! Are the Sixers going to let Ben Simmons ring the bell when he returns next year? Could you see the Flyers letting Sidney Crosby drop the first puck or the Eagles having Carson Wentz lead the team out of the tunnel this season? God no. I thought the Phillies were turning a corner this year. This franchise continues to turn itself into a joke with moves like this and the Pete Rose debacle.
Terrible day for the Phillies all the way down to the fans. Wrap it up:
Absolute abysmal display of athleticism from the Phillies and Phillies fans today pic.twitter.com/zizlMWirsw
