It’s fun to keep track of which major league baseball teams are apt to quarrel. It’s why this website spent the time making note of the discord between the Reds and the Pirates, along with that between the Royals and the White Sox.
Well, there is another storm a-brewing, and it has the potential to make quite a bit of rain.
Who is involved?
The Phillies and the Mets.
Fun, right?
Yes, very fun.
Those guys might be in a playoff chase against each other?
Yes, they well might be.
Those guys are pretty geographically close?
Yes, you can conveniently travel between their cities by rail.
And both fan bases are probably more down with fighting than baseball’s blogosphere?
I would think so, but I suppose that probably goes for all true baseball fans, at least until We reclaim the blogosphere™.
So what exactly happened?
Well, this was Tuesday night.
Looks dicey.
Yeah, but wait until you see this from last night.
Whoa! That’s fun!
Yes, very fun. Same pitcher and everything.
When do they play again?
Not until June 24th.
Hmm…that’s disappointing.
Yeah, very disappointing.
Lots of time.
Lots of time, indeed.
But they could still throw hands, right?
I think so. Worth keeping an eye on, to be sure.
